Despite the hype around Android 17 Beta 1’s arrival, Google has backtracked on the beta release, citing some last-minute changes. However, that doesn’t mean that the Android 17 update isn’t coming after all.

In fact, Google has clarified that the new beta version is “coming soon.” With the beta right around the corner, platform stability expected in March, and the stable version coming out in or around June 2026, you might want to know whether your Pixel phone supports Android 17.

Full list of supported Pixel devices

Below is the list of all Pixel phones that support the Android 17 Beta 1 update and, therefore, the stable version.

Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a
Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a
Pixel Tablet
Pixel Fold
Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8a
Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Pixel 9a
Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel 10a (upcoming)

At launch, the Android 17 Beta 1 should be available to test on 22 devices (including the upcoming Google Pixel 10a).

It’s worth mentioning that this will be the last operating system update for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, as the five-year support window ends in October 2026.

Other Android smartphone makers could get faster updates

What’s interesting is that Google is skipping the traditional Developer Preview phase this year and jumping straight into the public beta cycle.

Instead of relying on phased preview drops, the company has been testing the early Android 17 changes in the Canary channel, which should refine APIs and core features before they reach the public beta stage.

That should result in more polished beta releases for Pixel users and earlier access to stabilized code for partners and brands like Samsung, OnePlus, and Xiaomi.

In other words, Android-based smartphone manufacturers can start their own beta programs sooner, narrowing the gap between Android 17’s Pixel rollout and its wider availability across third-party devices.

Apple is investigating cracked screens on the iPhone Duo and replacing broken units

Apple assures that not all units of the iPhone Duo are affected by the display issue.

Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.

Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.

Apple quietly hopes to end the gizmo right-to-repair war. The iPhone Duo is the latest specimen.

The right-to-repair movement has entered its fine-print era.

Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.

I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.

iPhone Duo is here. Let’s take a moment to appreciate the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and all the things it didn’t break

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is not without its flaws, but in the face of the iPhone Duo, I have discovered more appreciation for it.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8

Apple's first foldable phone is now on shelves, in short supply, but with an unreal amount of buzz around it. After all, it's the first foldable iPhone, and there's plenty that this phone gets right. But there's also a lot that is either broken or underwhelming. What's peculiar is the dialogue around this phone, and how it has completely overshadowed every other attempt at making a phone with a similar form factor.

I've spent some time with the iPhone Duo, and I've used the Galaxy Z Fold 8 for almost three months now. In my opinion, Samsung deserves more credit. When the Galaxy Z Fold 8 arrived earlier this year, it was celebrated in some circles and ridiculed in others for supposedly copying what Apple would eventually deliver with the iPhone Duo. The dialogue was pretty odd, for multiple reasons. Samsung has been making foldable phones for years, so claiming that it copied a product Apple hadn't even launched was simply absurd.
