Mattel is a toy company. Google is an Internet services and product company. Exactly what happens when the two meets is anyone’s guess, but we’ll get some answers on February 13, since both companies sent press invites to an event, as reported by 9to5Google.

Exactly what the event entails is still a mystery, though the invitation sports the tagline, “View what’s possible.” In addition, the invitation features what could be a reel from an old View-Master, which was a stereoscope back in the mid 1990s that people used to look at photos.

The obvious guess is an update to the View-Master, which could include features from Cardboard or even Google Glass. Regardless of what it is, the product announcement will continue Google’s focus on kids, as the company recently purchased Launchpad Toys and is in cahoots with Disney for their new animated preschool series, Miles from Tomorrowland.

Something else to keep in mind is the Mattel-Google event is scheduled one day before Toy Fair 2015 starts in New York City, so the two companies’ product will presumably be shown off there. Of course, we’ll make sure to report what they announce.

When is my phone getting Android 13? Google, Samsung, OnePlus, and more

Android 13 has been available for Android phones since late 2022, and it's a pretty minor update from Google. Well, we say minor, but that's only in comparison to the positively gargantuan number of changes that were in Android 12 — and in light of Google's policy of trickling out improvements to Android apps over the course of a year as soon as they're ready. Android 13 is more of a tune-up to the engine that powers your phone than anything else. But it's still one worth getting excited for.

Tablet and foldable owners will see the most benefits, and there will be some updates to Material You to improve Android's customizability. There really isn't much else to say about Android 13. It's a very under-the-hood update, and that trend appears to be continuing with the upcoming Android 14 as well.

Google gives Android 13 a magic trick for music playback at CES 2023

Android 13 launched last year, but Google is far from done working on it. A new feature announced at CES 2023 makes playing audio from Android devices on Bluetooth speakers easier than ever. Dubbed "uninterrupted listening," the feature aims to make transitioning from listening to audio content on your phone to other devices seamless and intuitive.

Uninterrupted listening gives users notifications on their phones when they get close to an audio device. As you go through your home, you might want to start listening to a song or podcast on another device (like your smart speaker or TV) based on your proximity to them. Listening to a song on your Pixel Buds Pro but walking into the kitchen near your Nest Audio? You'd get a notification prompting you to instantly transfer the audio from your earbuds to the speaker.

Google’s Android monopoly finds its biggest challenge, and Apple might be next

The Competition Commission of India slapped Google with two hefty fines over anti-competitive strategies that have allowed it to dominate the mobile ecosystem in India. Totaling over $250 million, the penalties reprimand Google for forcing smartphone makers to avoid Android forks, prefer Google’s web search service, and pre-install popular cash cows like YouTube on phones.

Google was also disciplined for forcing its own billing system on developers that allowed the giant to take up to a 30% share of all in-app purchases for applications listed on the app store. Google is not really a stranger to titanic penalties; The EU handed Google a record-breaking fine of approximately $5 billion in 2018 for abusing its dominant market position — a penalty that was upheld in September this year following Google’s appeal.
