Visible by Verizon just launched a new plan that will have you considering whether it’s time to switch carriers or not. The average person pays roughly $150 a month for their phone bill, but what if you could drop that down to as little as $25 per line while keeping unlimited data, spam detection, and so much more? It would be hard to pass up, and that’s exactly what Visible has planned.

Visible by Verizon offers lower-cost alternatives to traditional phone plans. It has three options, starting at $25 per month for the Visible tier, $35 for the Visible+ tier, and $45 for the Visible+ Pro tier. All three plans offer unlimited data, talk, and text on 5G networks, automatic spam detection, and even smartwatch service for an extra $10 per month. Each plan also includes unlimited hotspot data, international calls to the US and Mexico, and several other perks.

The newest addition to the lineup is the Visible+ Pro plan, and it’s kind of mind-blowing. It includes smartwatch service as part of its standard lineup, so you don’t have to pay extra for that. You can also stream video up to 4K on the go, and your hotspot is three times faster than the Visible plan.

It also includes calling to 85 different countries and texting to more than 200 countries at no added cost, two Global Pass days per month, and $10/month savings on Verizon Home Internet.

On top of all of that, you have 24/7 access to actual humans through the customer care team, and if you lose your job, the plan will cover up to three months of your bill while you search for a job. These perks are tough to match on traditional phone plans, and when you can pay $450 for an annual subscription ($90 less than paying monthly), the savings just continue to add up.

I've found it a little absurd that health apps from different companies and service providers refuse to communicate with each other, even when you're the one who owns the data. Google just took one small yet important step toward fixing it. 

Google Health version 5.05 started rolling out today. And compared to the last several releases, this one's fairly light, especially since it follows four crucial updates packed into June and July.

Google can’t catch a break as the Pixel 11 Pro leaks once again
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Google's Made by Google 2026 event is just around the corner, but at this point, it feels like the company has very little left to surprise us with.

The latest leak brings what appear to be official marketing renders of the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL, offering perhaps the clearest look yet at Google's upcoming flagship phones. Shared by well-known leaker Evan Blass, the images don't just show off the hardware — they also hint at camera upgrades, AI features, and the next-generation Tensor chip powering everything under the hood. While none of the images reveal anything dramatically unexpected, they do suggest Google is paying attention to one design complaint Pixel fans have had for years.

Samsung’s risky move with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is paying off threefold
Samsung’s passport-shaped Fold is leaving last year’s bestseller in the dust

For a brand that's stuck to safer updates for most of its annual updates, Samsung’s odd new passport-shaped foldable was a surprisingly risky move--and it seems like that gamble is paying off. Early demand suggests the company may have underestimated just how many buyers wanted something different.

According to a BusinessPost report, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is selling at roughly three times the pace of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 during the comparable early sales period. Demand has reportedly caught Samsung off guard, leaving the company working to increase production and get more units into stores.
