More than a month after releasing the source code for Android 15, Google is beginning to roll out the latest version of its mobile operating system to Pixel phones and tablets. But many of the new features Google is highlighting aren't necessarily coming to all Android phones. They're Pixel-specific apps and services.

Here's a roundup of recent tech news from around the web.

RG CubeXX: Anbernic confirms full specs of new 1:1 retro gaming handheld [NotebookCheck]

This upcoming handheld looks virtually identical to the RG Cube and has the same 3.95 inch, 720 x 720 pixel display. But it has a slower processor, significantly less memory, and will most likely sell for less than half the price of the $160 RG Cube.

FIRST LOOK: Pixel 9 Series Devices Leak IRL

  Several live images of the upcoming Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL have been leaked. This confirms the new vendor-style camera bump and overall rounded aesthetic. We're still a few months away from these devices actually launching, but the plethora of leaks we've received leave little to the imagination. The news we have so far is that the company will be giving the Pixel lineup a completely different aesthetic, including flatter edges, rounded corners, and a large pill-shaped camera bump. The camera bump is the most noticeable part of the new design. In addition to the new design, we also learned that Google is bringing back the Pixel XL model this year. The last time we saw an XL model was the Pixel 4 XL. So, in this news, we could be looking at his three different Pixel 9 models: Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL.
