May 4, known around the world as Star Wars day, is nearly here. In celebration, Google announced a series of pretty significant discounts on the Google Play Store, mainly on Star Wars games for Android phones.

The deals are now available and will run until May 4. While you may not necessarily need to take advantage of them on May 4, if you’re interested, you should probably act pretty quickly.

The first deal is on content in Star War: Galaxy of Heroes, and if you download Galaxy of Heroes, you’ll get 25% bonus content on select Crystal bundles, plus a daily giveaway create that comes with 200 Crystals. The 25% bonus Crystals continues into Star Wars: Commander, too.

If you’re more of a Minecraft player, in which case there are some pretty interesting deals for you, too. In Minecraft, you can get any of the five Star Wars skins discounted by 25%. Alternatively, you could go for all five of the Star Wars skins at once — and if you get the bundle of those skins, you get a discount of 50%.

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic has long been a fan favorite Star Wars game — and while it’s usually $10 on the Google Play Store, during the discounts, the game comes at 50% off, which is handy for those that have been thinking of getting started in the game.

Disney Emoji Blitz is getting some significant discounts, too. For example, you will be able to get five full power boosts and five lives for $1, which represents savings of 40%. Alternatively, you could get 14 item boosts and 15 lives for $4, which is 32% off, or 15 sunshine boosts and 15 lives for $6, which is 27% off. Last but not least, players of Disney Emoji Blitz will get one free Star Wars emoji on May 4.

Last but not least is Star Wars Pinball 7, which is now free. Usually, the app comes at $2. In-app content has also been discounted — you can get in-app purchases for as little as $1, and Rogue One Table for $1.49.

Google is quick to point out that users can also binge on their favorite Star Wars movies on Google Play, though it doesn’t seem the movies were discounted at all.

Google is making it easier for you to find and download Android apps

Google announced a wide range of features for Android phones at the I/O 2024 developers conference earlier today. However, the event was not all about user-facing changes. The company also revealed a handful of new tricks for developers to showcase their apps effectively while maintaining a vigilant eye on safety.

Among the most important changes -- one that is also going to make life easier for users - is support for more payment options. The most notable of these is support for installment subscriptions, which has already yielded positive results for developers in the early access phase.

Google has just announced the next Pixel A-series device -- the new Google Pixel 8a. The A-series is the more budget-friendly Pixel option, and it comes out halfway in the cycle to the next mainline Pixel device.

This year, the Pixel 8a offers some big upgrades over its predecessor, the Google Pixel 7a. It’s also more similarly matched with the standard Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, both of which came out in October 2023.

Google just launched a new Pixel Tablet … kind of
The Google Pixel Tablet sitting outside with its screen on.

With the excitement of the Google Pixel 8a launch, it might have passed a little unnoticed that Google also launched a new Pixel Tablet — though not exactly. For one thing, the “new” Pixel Tablet is the exact same device as the “old” Pixel Tablet. We mean that literally: same specs, same look, same screen. The only difference with the newly launched Pixel Tablet is that it’ll be sold without its charging/speaker dock, unlike the previous model, which included it.

At $399, the new Pixel Tablet is $100 cheaper than the earlier model, but that’s to be expected — both because it doesn’t come with any hardware refresh and also because it cuts the dock. It's also worth noting that it will not be launched with any new first-party accessories like a keyboard or stylus, which were previously rumored for the tablet.
