Qualcomm is laying the groundwork for the next generation of XR hardware with two announcements that target both the brains inside future headsets and the tools needed to build them.

At Augmented World Expo 2026, the company unveiled Snapdragon Reality Elite, its new flagship XR platform designed for devices running Android XR and other mixed-reality experiences. Qualcomm also introduced Snapdragon START, a new initiative aimed at helping brands bring AI-powered smart glasses and wearable devices to market more quickly.

After months of rumors and two keynote events in May 2026, Google has finally released Android 17, the stable version. It's rolling out to eligible Pixel devices today, including models in the Pixel 6 lineup, all the way to the latest Pixel 10 series.

The stable build contains plenty of features showcased at The Android Show and Google I/O, but if you were hoping to get your hands on Gemini Intelligence, that will ship later this summer to “select advanced devices.” With that out of the way, here’s what Android 17 offers at launch.

Microsoft just announced what is arguably its best Surface Pro yet. The 12th Edition of the Surface Pro 13-inch brings meaningful upgrades across the board, including both CPU and GPU performance, and, at the same time, the battery life. 

All the upgrades surely make it an easy recommendation for someone looking for a capable 2-in-1 laptop that functions as a tablet when required, but allows you to attach a keyboard for getting things done even faster. There is just one thing standing in the way, and that involves your wallet.
