Credit: Rita El Khoury / Android Authority US Mobile is offering the Pixel 9 for $399 or a Pixel 9 + 9a bundle for $799 — up to $500 off. This is a real solid deal overall! New customers can get the deal by activating a qualifying plan with a new line, while existing customers qualify if they’re already on an annual plan or have maintained a monthly plan for at least three consecutive months. All phones are sold unlocked, with no long-term contract, so there are no commitments beyond the first year, or even less for existing users. The Google Pixel 9a is officially available starting today, and to celebrate, US Mobile is launching a new Pixel promotion. Customers can either purchase the Pixel 9 for just $399 or bundle the Pixel 9a and Pixel 9 together for only $799, a total savings of around $400 to $500. While some prepaid carriers like Visible have been offering promotions like this for a while, it’s a relatively new approach for US Mobile, and it looks like a fantastic deal. Is there a catch, though? While it’s true that free or heavily discounted phones often come with major strings attached in the postpaid world that minimize actual savings, the good news is that prepaid promotions tend to be much more straightforward and can save you significantly in the long run.

Google appears to be developing a “related emails” feature for Gmail. When active, emails related to the one you’re reading would appear at the bottom. It’s not yet clear how Google will choose which emails to surface in this manner. Recommendation algorithms are nothing short of ubiquitous, and it feels like you can’t read a news article, listen to a song, or watch a movie without immediately being presented with a bunch of suggestions for similar content. And while you can easily get caught up in endless debates about whether or not this is ruining our ability to make choices on our own, lots of people really enjoy the convenience it offers, and why not? It makes all the sense in the world that if you’re interested in one thing, you might also be interested in stuff that’s very similar to it. And if that’s good enough for media, why not email, too?

Credit: Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority The OnePlus Watch 3 has finally gone on sale in the US, but at a much higher price than had previously been announced. Listed at $499.99, it’s $170 more than expected. OnePlus declined the opportunity to give any reasons for the surprise price tag. The watch is made in China, so it’s possible the new 145% US tariffs on Chinese goods are behind the last-minute uplift. After a delayed launch caused by an unfortunate typo, the OnePlus Watch 3 is now officially on sale in the US. But anyone hoping to pick up the new Wear OS smartwatch might be doing a double take, as it’s currently listed at $499.99. That’s a full $170 more than the expected $329.99 price OnePlus had previously announced. At first glance, it would be easy to assume this is just another error — especially given that the Watch 3’s original release had to be pushed back from February to April after early units were found to have “Meda in China” engraved on the back. However, the higher OnePlus Watch 3 price persists until checkout and seems oddly specific to be a typo.
