Google unveiled its new budget-friendly smartphone, the Pixel 10A, on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, with preorders scheduled to begin on February 18th, according to The Verge. The announcement coincided with news of discounts on Apple iPads and concerns about the potential impact of a Netflix-Warner Bros. Discovery merger on streaming prices.
The Pixel 10A, which will be available in a powdery blue color, bears a strong resemblance to its predecessor, according to a teaser shared by Google, The Verge reported. Meanwhile, discounts were available on various iPad models, including the base iPad, iPad Mini, iPad Air, and iPad Pro, according to The Verge.
In other news, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos addressed concerns about a potential merger with Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). During a Senate hearing, Sarandos suggested that the merger would not necessarily lead to higher prices for consumers. He was speaking at a hearing held by the US Senate Judiciary Committees Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights, examining the competitive impact of the proposed Netflix-Warner Brothers Transaction, Ars Technica reported. Sarandos aimed to convince the subcommittee that a merger would not negatively affect subscribers.
Wired highlighted a deal on the older Pixel 9a model, noting that despite newer models being available, the Pixel 9a "is more than enough phone for most people." Best Buy was offering the 128GB Pixel 9a for $399, a $100 discount, in all four colors: Iris, Obsidian, Peony, and Porcelain, according to Wired.
Wired also reviewed the Cozey Neptune Sofa Bed, noting its modular design and tool-free assembly. The review highlighted the sofa's firmness and the need for lumbar pillows for optimal seating.
