As a deal hunter, I know bundle offers like this don't come too often. But now, you can once again grab the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) with a free Lenovo Tab Plus at the Motorola Store. Like the previous times I've come across such offers, you'll have to cough up the smartphone's full asking price. The good news? You're getting a $349.99 Android tablet for free.I know coughing up some $399.99 for a smartphone might not sound like the hottest offer out there. So, if you don't care about the tablet with your new handset, I'd suggest checking out Amazon's promo. Over there, you can score $150 off the Motorola phone , which knocks it just under the $250 mark.Sure, the new Moto G Stylus (2025) is already out, but this one'll set you back $399.99 with no freebies in sight. Also, there aren't many meaningful upgrades on the newer model to make the 2025 stylus phone the better choice (at least in my book).Granted, the screen gets brighter, the water and dust resistance is better, the charging is faster, and the chip's a bit more powerful. Would I call these upgrades compelling? Not exactly, especially when the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) ships with the Lenovo Tab Plus, one of the best sub-$400 tablets money can buy — and at no extra cost, too.The 2024 Android phone may not be the latest G Stylus variant out there, but it's still a solid pick. It packs a 6.7-inch OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and decent brightness, a decently-performing Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip, and a 50MP main camera on the rear. Quick note-taking is as easy as it gets thanks to the built-in stylus, and battery life isn't half bad, either.What about the freebie? The Tab Plus delivers seriously impressive sound with eight JBL speakers. But it's not just about audio — it has a built-in kickstand, handy PC-like productivity features, and a smooth everyday experience powered by the MediaTek Helio G99.Bottom line: I'd take this bundle deal any day. But hey, it's not about me. If this sounds like your kind of deal, don't wait too long — head to the Motorola Store and grab it while it lasts. Prefer a discount over a freebie? Amazon has the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) for $150 off.

Epic's big win against Google hits a roadblock in appeals court
A U.S. appeals court has temporarily paused an order that would have forced Google to make major changes to the Play Store. This decision allows Google more time to challenge a previous antitrust ruling in its ongoing legal dispute with Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite. The case stems from a long-running battle that began in 2020, when Epic sued both Apple and Google. Epic accused the two tech giants of maintaining monopolies over mobile app distribution and payment systems. While Epic's lawsuit against Apple largely failed in court, its case against Google gained more traction. In 2023, a jury sided with Epic, declaring that Google had abused its control over Android app distribution and in-app billing. As a result, a federal judge ordered Google to open up the Play Store. The injunction would have required the company to allow competing app stores to be installed more easily and make its app catalog available to rivals. Google pushed back, arguing that such changes would harm security and its ability to compete fairly. The company quickly filed for a temporary stay. Compared to iOS, Android is pretty open, but Epic says it's not open enough. | Image credit — Google The court acknowledged that Epic's case against Google differs significantly from its case against Apple. While Apple controls both its hardware and software, Google's Android ecosystem allows third-party app stores—at least in theory. Epic's argument was that Google, despite this openness, still made it difficult for competitors to succeed within the Android ecosystem. This legal decision may seem like a short-term win for Google, but the company is far from being in the clear. The appeals process could take months, and the outcome could reshape how Android users download and pay for apps. It could also influence broader app store policies across the tech industry. For context, Apple's App Store remains much more locked down compared to Android, but regulators in Europe and the U.S. have also taken aim at Apple's strict policies. So while Google's platform is more open by design, it's now facing growing legal scrutiny that could narrow that gap. The final outcome of this battle will be closely watched by developers, regulators, and users alike. For now, Google's Play Store remains unchanged — but that could soon change, depending on how this legal fight plays out.

Does today's Pixel update exterminate the bug you've been praying that Google would fix?
The Android 16 monthly update for August has been released by Google and can be installed on compatible Pixel phones. Which models are those? Glad you asked. Those models include the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8a, Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro , Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and Pixel 9a. If you have one of those devices, go to Settings > System > Software update . I have yet to receive the update on my Pixel 6 Pro running the latest Android 16 QPR1 Beta release. If your Pixel does have the August 1st update, it will mention the three vulnerabilities fixed with the 2025-08-01 security patch. The three vulnerabilities include two deemed to be high in severity, while one is listed as critical. Three new Android vulnerabilities are patched by the Android Security Update. | Image credit-Google The most severe vulnerability among this group could lead to "the local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation." This means that the attacker needs to have access to the device through a malicious app you've installed, or even a file you downloaded on your device. If successful in getting you to download the app or files, the attacker can raise his level of control over your device to a higher level than initially granted. For example, an app might have the ability to see your photos but, by raising its privilege level the attacker could end up being able to steal your data or even install other malware. The attacker can start at an unprivileged level, and raise it by exploiting the flaw. The vulnerability cannot be exploited without the phone user taking some action to get the ball rolling. Such action could include: Clicking on a malicious link. Opening a PDF, an image file, or another crafted file. Installing a malicious app. The vulnerability rated critical can be exploited remotely over a network like the Internet. The attacker does not need to have physical control of your phone or trick you into installing a malicious app. With code execution, the bad actor can run his own code on your device, allowing him to steal your personal data, install malware, and take control of your device. The attacker must exploit at least one other bug to successfully execute this plan. That makes it harder to pull off. SYSTEM All Pixel models, including the Pixel 6 and later, will see "General improvements for system stability and performance in certain conditions." USER INTERFACE All Pixel models, including the Pixel 6 and later, get a fix for an issue where the scheduled dark theme wasn't working under certain conditions. All Pixel models, including the Pixel 6 and later, get a fix for issues involving the 3-button and gesture navigation options in certain conditions. If you're wondering when the next Pixel Feature Drop is coming, one rumored date is Wednesday, September 3rd. That could be when Google drops the next Quarterly Platform Release (QPR). So if you are currently running the Android 16 QPR1 Beta and want to return to the stable version of Android without having to wipe your data, you'll be able to do that when Google releases Android 16 QPR1. On September 3rd, or whatever the date is when Google does release Android 16 QPR1, go to the Android Beta for Pixel website by tapping on this link or directing your browser to Click on the box that says "View your eligible devices," and you'll be sent to a part of the site that shows a picture of your Pixel model. Underneath that will be a box prompting you to exit the Beta by tapping on it. Do that and check for a software update that will arrive within the next 24 hours. Install the update and you'll be back on the stable Android track. You must wait until the Android 16 QPR1 update has been released, or else you'll be in for a nasty surprise! (Your apps and personal data will be wiped from your phone).

The global tablet market is booming again, but not thanks to Apple or Samsung
While global smartphone shipments continue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to many different reasons ranging from complex macroeconomic issues to tariff volatility and the industry's general lack of innovation over the last few years, the tablet market is amazingly posting year-on-year growth for the sixth quarter in a row. Of course, worldwide tablet sales aren't exactly doubling from year to year, but a 9 percent increase in the market's Q2 numbers compared to the same period of 2024 is certainly nothing to sneeze at either. That's a very positive trend for the global tablet market. Surprisingly enough, this latest healthy progress is not primarily owed to the largest vendor out there... or even the industry's second-biggest player. Instead, it's the companies ranked third, fourth, and fifth between April and June 2025 that shined brightest in terms of year-on-year growth. Yes, Huawei managed to jump from 2.5 million unit shipments in Q2 2024 to a little over 3.2 million now, extending its previously very fragile lead over Lenovo and consolidating its place on the podium with an 8.3 percent slice of the global pie (up from 7 percent). Lenovo's 24.7 percent rise from under 2.5 million unit shipments to more than 3 million is also not too shabby, keeping the China-based brand in fourth place for yet another quarter, but Xiaomi is closing in on both Lenovo and Huawei fast after improving its Q2 tally by no less than 42.3 percent between 2024 and 2025. Should Apple fear Huawei, Lenovo, and Xiaomi's rise? Probably not. At least not yet. It pretty much goes without saying that the flourishing numbers of all three of these vendors are derived mainly from China, which means that one of the key reasons why Apple and Samsung are unable to keep up with those scores right now might be their weak presence in Huawei, Lenovo, and Xiaomi's huge domestic market. At the end of the day, however, Apple is still the global tablet market's top dog, with more than 14 million unit shipments and 36.1 percent share in Q2 2025. One of those numbers is actually (slightly) higher than how the company ended Q2 2024, which is not what we can say about Samsung. The industry's silver medalist remains miles ahead of Huawei, but both its quarterly shipments and market share are down from last year's April to June timeframe, which can't be viewed as a positive thing for the world's number one smartphone vendor.
