The Snapdragon Reality Elite, unveiled at Augmented World Expo, is Qualcomm's latest processor for extended reality headsets and glasses. It aims to reduce device size and enhance performance through on-device AI, targeting both stand-alone and tethered devices. The chip is set to power devices like XREAL Aura augmented reality glasses and Play for Dream's upcoming headset.

Google has launched a redesigned Google Home speaker with 360-degree audio, a compact design and a fabric exterior made from recycled materials. The device integrates the Gemini digital assistant, replacing Google Assistant to offer advanced features such as multi-step commands and improved contextual understanding.

Google released Android 17 alongside the June Pixel Drop for Pixel devices, bringing productivity enhancements, security improvements and new features. The upgrade introduces App Bubbles for easier multitasking, enhanced security with temporary location access and a more robust "Mark as lost" feature. Other smartphone makers are expected to roll out the upgrade in the coming months as they develop their own versions.
