Google’s September 29 press conference in San Francisco was one of the company’s most eventful shows in years. The theme was Pairs, and things did indeed come in twos. The Internet giant brought out two Nexus phones this year: LG’s mid-range Nexus 5X and Huawei’s high-end Nexus 6P. And Google also showed off two new Chromecast devices, one with significantly upgraded Wi-Fi and the other focused on audio.

Beyond hardware, the long-awaited Android 6.0 Marshmallow update was on tap of course, too, as were tidbits like a new $15 a month family subscription for Google Play Music and Spotify integration with Chromecast. Google also teased the Pixel C, a convertible device that runs Android and acts like a tablet PC with a keyboard

In case you missed it, we’ve got all the news from the event complied right here for you. Every detail of the new Nexus Phones, Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Chromecast, the new Pixel, and more is right here on DT. We’ll also follow up with hands on posts of all the new devices shortly.

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.

Where do I even start with the Nokia 3210? Not the original, which was one of the coolest phones to own back in a time when Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace wasn’t even a thing, but the latest 2024 reissue that has come along to save us all from digital overload, the horror of social media, and the endless distraction that is the modern smartphone.

Except behind this facade of marketing-friendly do-goodery hides a weapon of torture, a device so foul that I’d rather sit through multiple showings of Jar Jar Binks and the gang hopelessly trying to bring back the magic of A New Hope than use it.
