The monthly “Google System Release Notes” primarily detail what’s new in Play services, Play Store, and Play system update across Android phones/tablets, Wear OS, Google/Android TV, Auto, and PC. In a few days, Samsung will announce the Galaxy S26 series and the key changes that come with it, and newly leaked specs detail those changes ahead of time. Alongside an ongoing all-time low on the ultra-affordable new Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ from $210, we also spotted Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ back to Black Friday pricing at $150 off. After the initial Public Preview in October, Google is bringing its Fitbit personal health coach preview to international Premium users. Alongside a host of notable price drops still live from yesterday you’ll find down below, today’s lineup of the best Android game and app deals has arrived.
God knows I tried, but I still couldn’t find a news app that felt as comprehensive and as direct as Google News. I also experimented with a few apps that let you build your own news feed using RSS, like Feedly — there are plenty of such apps on the Play Store. The content density was just right, and so were the news types and overall quality (which I presumed would get better over time). I don’t know how broadly Google is showing these “trending topics” AI headlines yet, but it seems the company is testing them beyond the Google Discover news feed, too. I’ve seen fewer examples of egregious clickbait, partly because Google Discover is now serving me quite a few unadulterated news stories alongside its AI ones — though it does cut off their genuine headlines far too quickly, making many tough to read. Like I explained last month, these AI headlines are akin to a bookstore replacing the covers of the books it puts on display — only here, the “bookstore” is the news tab that appears when you swipe right on the homescreen of a Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel phone, and the “cover” might be a AI-generated lie instead of the truth.

The project aims to identify potential recurring supporters, map how reader trust develops over time, and examine connections between journalism and giving. The Reporter, a Taiwanese non-profit news organisation focused on in-depth investigative journalism, is developing an AI-driven framework that links reader engagement with donor behavior. A conversational tool called Tempo Assistant will help users explore decades of journalism and surface actionable insights for business and political decision-making.

In early December, I brought you the news that Google has begun replacing Verge headlines, and those of our competitors, with AI clickbait nonsense in its content feed. Search Google News for recent headlines with source and timestamp. Google notes that over half of early users selected four or more sources to curate their perfect news feed. But this time, I want to share with the community a Python package that makes it simple to get the news data from the best search engine ever created – Google. https://groups.diigo.com/group/SAFARI?view=recent&page_num=1 Top stories, topic related news feeds, geolocation news feed, and an extensive full text search feed. Google News seeks to reward independent, original journalistic content by giving credit to the originating publisher, as both users and publishers would prefer.
The tool will recommend relevant articles, analyse sentiment around different topics and formats, and support better editorial decisions. The system identifies at-risk readers and recommends stories most likely to bring them back, enabling timely, personalised outreach to strengthen the reader revenue that sustains independent journalism. Civio, a Spanish non-profit newsroom focused on government transparency and accountability, will develop an AI back-office assistant for small newsrooms where supporter relationships are essential but time is scarce. «We’re excited to see what comes from the broad range of innovative ideas proposed by these 12 winning publishers,» said Matt Cooke, Head of Ecosystem Investment Programs, Google News Partnerships.

Recent EVGN news skew positive (partnerships, licensing, management hires), with three of five events seeing price moves aligned with the constructive tone and two showing divergence where upbeat announcements coincided with short-term selling. It also wouldn’t hurt if the app spaced things out better instead of overwhelming you with too much information on a single screen. It often shows stories I don’t care about or keeps repeating a topic I clicked on once on a random morning and never returned to. For starters, Google News has a solid personalization algorithm, but it still gets things wrong. Google could easily extend my stay by improving the areas where the app clearly lags.
