One of the draws of Android phones is variety: There are a growing number of makers offering these devices across a wide range of price points, and in recent years, we’ve seen increasingly impressive budget-friendly smartphones from brands like Motorola and Huawei. Nokia has also thrown its hat into the ring with its nearly perfect Nokia 7.1, and right now, this affordable Android
phone is on sale from Amazon
and B&H, meaning you can score it for even cheaper while supplies last.

When you hear “Nokia,” you might not imagine cutting-edge modern smartphones. It’s more likely that you remember old-school cell phones like the iconic 3310 or interesting but ill-fated experiments like the N-Gage. Nokia is back on the mobile scene in a big way, though, with fantastic recent releases like the Nokia 6.1 and Nokia 7.1 representing some of the best values you can get in an Android phone.

Google just announced the Pixel Watch 2. Is it any good?

All three colors of the Google Pixel Watch 2 lined up together.

Google lifted the lid on the Google Pixel Watch 2 at a packed event that also witnessed the introduction of its Google Pixel 8 series phones. Aesthetically, barely anything has changed, which is mostly welcome because the Pixel-branded smartwatch stands out with its sloping glass design. But there are changes under the hood that actually push it ahead of the competition in a few ways.

But will all of this come together for a cohesive smartwatch? Here's everything we know so far.
