The Android ecosystem is all about choice. While iPhone owners have a smaller pool of new devices to pick from when it’s time to upgrade, there’s a much wider range of choices on Android. You want incredible camera zoom? A built-in stylus? A phone that runs a complete desktop environment when you plug it into a monitor? You can find it on Android. Heck, you can find all of that in a single device.

The best Android phones to buy in 2024
On the flip side, all that choice can make for some hard decisions. Here’s where I’d like to help; I’ve tested a whole boatload of recent Android phones, and I think there are some real winners in the current batch. It’s all a matter of what you’re looking for, what you’re comfortable spending, and what your definition of a “reasonably sized phone” is. (I have my own, personally.)
As you sift through the options, you’ll almost certainly come across tech’s favorite buzzphrase of the year: AI. Generally speaking, AI has yet to really impress me on a phone. The Pixel 9 series has some potentially useful features, like a new Screenshots app that uses AI to tag relevant info in metadata, and Galaxy devices can translate a phone call for you in real time. These things are nothing to sneeze at! But none of it feels like the platform shift that the big tech companies keep promising. Best not to put too much stock in any company’s AI claims just yet.
If you live in the US, I have some bad news about the Android market, though. For complicated reasons having to do with “capitalism” and “geopolitics,” we don’t get nearly as many of the options as you’ll find in Asia and Europe — brands like Huawei, Xiaomi, Honor, and Oppo just aren’t available here. I’ve limited this guide to the devices I’ve personally tested in depth; thus, it is a fairly US-centric set of recommendations.
With that in mind, it’s also worth acknowledging that most people in the US get their phones “for free” from their wireless carrier. If you can manage it, buying a phone unlocked will give you the most flexibility and freedom if you end up wanting to change carriers in the near future. Phone manufacturers also offer financing and trade-in deals to make payment more manageable. But if you’re happy with your carrier and the free phone on offer is the one you really want, by all means, take the free phone. Just make sure you understand the terms, especially if you need to change plans to cash in on the deal.
However you go about it, you have some fantastic options for your next Android phone.
The best Android phone overall
Screen: 6.3-inch 1080p 120Hz OLED / Processor: Tensor G4 / Cameras: 50-megapixel f/1.7 main with OIS, 48-megapixel ultrawide, 10.5-megapixel selfie / Battery: 4,700mAh / Charging: 27W wired, 15W wireless (with Pixel Stand 2) / Weather resistance: IP68
Google’s hardware is better than ever, and the whole Pixel 9 lineup feels just as polished as anything you’d get from Samsung or Apple. But at $799, the basic Pixel 9 is in a particularly appealing position, and if you don’t need a telephoto camera or the biggest screen, then this is the Android phone to get.
The Pixel 9 comes with some significant quality-of-life improvements like a faster fingerprint scanner for unlocking the phone. The camera is as reliable as ever, and if you’re into AI photo editing tricks, boy does this phone have ‘em. There’s a new Screenshots app that acts as a place to store all of the information that would otherwise be lost at sea in your camera roll, and it uses AI to parse information out and make it searchable. Kinda handy.
Even without AI, this is an excellent phone. It’s also designed to go the distance, with seven years of promised OS updates, which very likely means you’ll outgrow the phone before Google stops supporting it. Its potential for long-term value and the quality of the hardware make it an easy recommendation for anyone who just wants a nice Android phone that works.
The best maximalist phone
Screen: 6.8-inch 1440p 120Hz OLED / Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 / Cameras: 200-megapixel main with OIS, 50-megapixel 5x telephoto with OIS, 10-megapixel 3x telephoto with OIS, 12-megapixel ultrawide, 12-megapixel selfie / Battery: 5,000mAh / Charging: 45W wired, 15W wireless / Weather resistance: IP68
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra says it all in the name: Ultra. It has everything you could ask for in a phone — well, at least one that doesn’t fold in half. There’s a stylus, two telephoto cameras, a massive battery, and one of the best ding dang screens on any phone, anywhere.
So why am I a little underwhelmed? For starters, Samsung swapped last year’s 10x telephoto camera for a higher-resolution 5x camera that uses in-sensor crop to zoom to 10x. This is a sensible move, and photos at 10x look fine, if not as crisp as they did on the last model. It’s also pricier this time around, and it was already an expensive phone. It’s pretty darn heavy, too, and Samsung’s switch to titanium for the frame hasn’t made it any lighter.
Personal feelings about the zoom lens aside, the S24 Ultra is still basically peerless. Its much-touted AI features are fine, but if there’s one thing that makes it worth the upgrade, it’s the screen. Its anti-glare coating and boosted maximum brightness make it so comfortable to use outside it’s almost magic. That’s hardly a fancy new tech feature, but the Galaxy S24 Ultra is hardly any old phone.
The best phone if you’re sick of hearing about AI
Screen: 6.82-inch 1440p 120Hz LTPO OLED / Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Cameras: 50-megapixel f/1.6 main with OIS, 64-megapixel 3x telephoto with OIS, 48-megapixel f/2.2 ultrawide / Battery: 5400mAh / Charging: 80W wired, 50W wireless / Weather-resistance rating: IP65
After a few years and a little soul-searching, OnePlus is back to its roots. The OnePlus 12 is an excellent device with high-end performance with a competitive price: $799 for the base model with a hefty 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
For that price, you get a crisp 1440p 6.8-inch display, a top-tier Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, and a capable camera. It supports wireless charging, something that previous OnePlus flagships have skipped. Battery performance is fantastic, too — power users can get through a full day, and light users can stretch it to two.
What stands out about the OnePlus 12, though, might just be what’s not here: a bunch of AI features. Honestly? That’s kind of refreshing. Some of the AI features Google and Samsung are busy shipping right now are nice, but none of them feel essential. If you want to sit out this AI hype cycle but you still want a great phone, the OnePlus 12 might be the one.
The best foldable phone
Screen: 8.0-inch 2076p 120Hz OLED inner screen, 6.3-inch 1080p 120Hz OLED cover screen / Processor: Tensor G4 / Cameras: 48-megapixel f/1.7 main with OIS, 10.8-megapixel 5x telephoto with OIS, 10.5-megapixel ultrawide, 10-megapixel selfie (cover screen), 10-megapixel inner selfie camera / Battery: 4,650mAh / Charging: 21W wired, 7.5W wireless / Weather resistance: IPX8
Does anyone truly need a folding phone? Probably not. But using one is awfully nice, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is the nicest book-style foldable I’ve used to date. It’s pricey, it’s still bulkier than a slab-style phone, and its cameras aren’t quite as nice as the other Pixel 9 Pro phones. But it’s a joy to use, both as a regular phone with the cover screen and when you unfold the big inner screen.
The 9 Pro Fold is Google’s second folding phone, following up the passport-shaped Pixel Fold with a format that feels much more familiar. The outer screen measures 6.3 inches on the diagonal, but more importantly, the ratio is the same as Google’s slab phones. By comparison, Samsung’s Z Fold 6 uses a taller, narrower format that feels cramped. Having used them both, I much prefer the 9 Pro Fold’s approach.
That said, the 9 Pro Fold isn’t without compromises. The camera system isn’t quite as good as what you get in the other 9 Pro phones. The outer screen isn’t as sharp or bright as the Pixel 9 Pro’s, either. And it’s not as durable as its slab-style counterparts — there’s no dust resistance, and you can’t get it repaired just anywhere. For $1,800, that’s an awful lot to swallow. For the adventurous early adopter, though, the 9 Pro Fold will be very rewarding.
The best phone that puts on a light show
Screen: 6.7-inch 1080p 120Hz OLED / Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 / Cameras: 50-megapixel F/1.9 main with OIS, 50-megapixel ultrawide, 32-megapixel selfie / Battery: 4,700mAh / Charging: 45W wired, 15W wireless / Weather resistance: IP54
The Nothing Phone 2 doesn’t offer the very best value proposition in its upper-midrange category. But if it’s style you’re after and something a little flashy (well, a lot flashy), then the Phone 2 is an easy pick.
It offers a good 6.7-inch screen, great daily performance and battery life, and a capable camera system. But that’s the usual stuff — what’s unusual about the Phone 2 is its set of LED light strips on the back panel. They illuminate in combinations called “glyphs,” and you can set them to alert you to certain notifications. It’s neat but ultimately isn’t as helpful as the system’s customizable always-on display.
On the downside, the Phone 2 is only splash-resistant rather than fully resistant to water submersion like virtually all other phones over $500. It’s also not fully supported on Verizon’s network, which takes it out of contention for a lot of the US population.
If neither of the above is a deal-breaker, and the Phone 2’s styling appeals to you, then it’s an excellent choice. One thing’s for sure — it definitely stands out from the crowd.
Other Android phones worth considering
There are many more great Android devices that weren’t covered here, and a few are worth calling out that didn’t quite make the cut for a recommendation.
- First off, there’s the Galaxy Z Flip 6, Samsung’s excellent clamshell-style foldable. It’s not as much fun to use as the 2024 Motorola Razr Plus — which facilitates using apps on the cover screen more easily — but Motorola’s track record for software updates isn’t great, so the Z Flip 6 is a safer bet for a flip phone. Read our review.
- The OnePlus Open is also another good book-style foldable option. It’s thin and light, and the software includes some thoughtful approaches to multitasking — a crucial part of the folding phone experience. But it won’t be supported with software updates for as long as the Pixel 9 Pro Fold or the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Read our review.
- Last but not least, there’s the Google Pixel 8A. If you really want to maximize the return on your investment, it’s hard to beat Google’s latest midrange phone. It covers all the basics for $499 while offering seven years of software support. Read our review.

This tiny Ryzen 9 PC can drive three, yes three, 8K monitors thanks to a low profile video card with a proper Geforce RTX 4060 GPU – but the best part is that it costs less than $1000 with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD
Minisforum has launched a new lightweight mini ITX PC packed with powerful features and a sleek design.
The 790S7 is a seriously powerful bit of hardware – and what it boasts in features it more than matches in its compact design.
The latest mini PC from the company comes in at just 7 liters, boasting a very small footprint that makes it an ideal, lightweight option for enterprise users aiming to maximize desk space. Better still, the 790S7 comes complete with an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX CPU and can be configured with a powerful GeForce RTX 4060 GPU for an additional cost.
Under the hood of the Minisforum 790S7
While it’s bulkier than other mini PCs offered by Minisforum, it nonetheless makes up for this with key capabilities.
These include support for up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM, as well as two PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs capable of up to 4TB in storage. Similarly, the inclusion of a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot to support the RTX 4060 GPU merely adds to the appeal.
“With up to 64GB of memory, typically found in high-end workstations, this ultra-fast 5200 MHz RAM makes multitasking and multimedia rendering a breeze,” the company claims. “Effortlessly switch between tasks like gaming, streaming, and web browsing, all with smooth, high-speed performance.”
What could set the 790S7 apart from the pack is its multi-functional display options. With this device, users are able to attach up to three 8K monitors.
Given its compact design, the 790S7 can sit comfortably on a desk alongside these monitors without absorbing too much space.
Notably, the 790S7 could prove to be a cost effective option for enterprise users, coming in at around $1,000. Minisforum currently has a sale on, meaning users can get their hands on the device for around $939.
A barebones version of this device is also available, normally retailing at $569 – but this will come without an operating system, RAM, or SSD built-in. The sale price for this version comes in at $459.
Not keen on AMD? There’s an Intel option available
While the 790S7 comes complete with an AMD CPU, there are alternative options available with this device. Its sister model, the 129i7, comes with an Intel Core i9-12900 HK processor.
This option is significantly cheaper than its AMD-powered counterpart, normally retailing at $489 but comes with certain limitations. This version can only be configured in a barebones capacity.
Minisforum also has a sale on the 129i7, with this option available for £399 at present.
“The 790S7 is a content creator’s dream machine, powered by the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX,” Minisforum says.
“With 16 cores and 32 threads, it delivers lightning-fast speeds up to 5.2GHz, giving you all the performance you need to unlock your full potential for tasks like video editing and seamless multitasking.”

Best refurbished laptop deals: How to find cheap computers
There is so much stuff that needs access to a computer these days that it’s almost necessary to have one to be able to do anything. Of course, not everybody wants to spend a ton of money on the newest and best laptops, which is why refurbished laptops are a great alternative. Not only are they generally cheaper, but most of the time, the worst thing about them is cosmetic damage, so it’s something that’s easy to overlook, especially if you aren’t going to be using it 24/7. Also, most refurbished laptops come with some form of guarantee, so even if there is some kind of issue, you can send it back and get a refund.
To that end, there are really great refurbished laptop sales that you can check out as part of Best Buy laptop deals, Dell laptop deals, HP laptop deals and Lenovo laptop deals. Alternatively, if you’re in the Apple ecosystem, take a look at these refurbished MacBook deals, or if you still want to go for something new, you could consider checking out these laptop deals instead.
Best Buy refurbished laptops — starting at $120
Best Buy’s refurbished laptops are — you guessed it — Geek Squad Certified and while they may not be free and clear of absolutely all cosmetic scuffs they are still exceptionally clean and always in working order. Some of them even come with additional software like virus tools, streaming access, like Apple TV+, and much more. Of course, the best part is that you can get a premium and fully upgraded model for less, often with more storage, more power, and more features than you would when buying a base model brand new. You’ve got some great options from Lenovo, Acer, HP, Dell, Gateway, and even Apple to choose from. The cheapest models start around $120 and increase from there. The best way to know what’s available is to head over and browse for yourself.
Dell Latitude — starting at $239
Dell sometimes discounts laptops and machines, for varying reasons, including clearance deals of the week to make way for new stock. That’s pretty much the case with Dell’s Latitude models with the cheapest coming in around $189 up to $229 and above. There are a lot of different models, each with individual specifications and features, so you’ll have to sift through the list, especially if you know what you’re looking for already.
Amazon Renewed laptops — starting at $75
Like most other e-tailers, Amazon offers a host of renewed and refurbished systems, but here’s where it gets juicy. Amazon typically runs them through a proprietary renewal process which allows them to offer many laptops and computers at an even lower discounted price. This is another instance where you’ll have to head over and browse for yourself just because Amazon’s inventory is so absolutely massive. You have Chromebooks and older machines starting around $30 to $70, with some more powerful laptops in the running beyond $200 or so. Definitely take a look before you buy new, at the very least.
Should you buy a refurbished laptop?
A refurbished laptop can be fantastic value for your money, but you need to look out for a few key things to make sure you don’t get ripped off. For instance, it’s vital that the refurbished laptop deals you check out are all factory refurbished, meaning the actual manufacturer repaired them. You’ll also want to make sure that the refurbished laptop has at least a 12-month warranty and that the refurbished laptop sales are from a reliable and reputable retailer.
If you stick to these things, then you should be safe. By following such ideals, you’ll ensure your refurbished laptop has been repaired by a company employee using factory parts, and the warranty means that if the same (or a different) issue pops up, you can have it repaired for free.
If you come across something that hasn’t been reconditioned in the same factory in which it was made but is still listed as certified refurbished, it’s still good to go. That tends to mean that it’s been as good as factory repaired by a professional who knows what they’re doing.
It’s sensible to stick to trusted retailers with a warranty and some form of guarantee as it avoids any chance of you accidentally buying stolen stock.
As always, remember to use common sense. If the refurbished laptop deals you’re checking out look too good to be true, they probably are. Make sure you buy from a reputable seller so you won’t be disappointed by your purchase.
Finally, as with all laptops, it’s a good idea to know what to look for. Check out our laptop buying guide and take a look at 11 common laptop buying mistakes you can easily avoid.

Google Flights gets new tab to find ‘Cheapest’ airfare
Google Flights has received a new “Cheapest” tab. As the name suggests, it will allow Google Flights users to search for the lowest prices of airfares.
How to use the ‘Cheapest’ tab in the Google Flights app?
Google Flights is one of the most popular web destinations and apps to look for flights. Available for domestic and international air travel, Google Flights even shows the flights that are currently in the air.
Google allows travelers to hunt for flight tickets and airfares on the Google Flights app. Moving forward, users could quickly zero in on the cheapest airfares. In an official blog post, Google has confirmed that the Google Flights app is getting a new “Cheapest” tab.
Usually, when users search with Google Flights, the best options appear at the top of the results. This result is typically based on a mix of price and convenience. Needless to say, many travelers would prefer to compromise on convenience if it means cheaper flight tickets.
Starting this week, Google Flights users will get a new ‘Cheapest’ tab. Travelers can enter their trip details into the app and tap on “Cheapest” tab to show more options with even lower prices.
How will Google offer the cheapest airfare?
Google Flights attempts to find a balance between good prices and other aspects that define air travel. Needless to add, dozens of conditions collectively decide the price of a flight ticket.
By optimizing these conditions, third-party booking sites can offer a lower price than the airline itself. Travelers can even save if they accept to return to a different airport (in the same city) from where they flew.
The “Cheapest” tab -> Find cheaper airfare with this new Google Flights feature
“To help you better find these deals, we’re adding a new “Cheapest” tab on Google Flights. Beginning this week, you can enter your trip details and tap on “Cheapest” to show more options with even… pic.twitter.com/Q9fIt8uBR2
— Glenn Gabe (@glenngabe) October 16, 2024
Some of the other aspects that Google Flights will consider include longer layovers, self-transfers, or purchasing different legs of the trip through multiple airlines or booking sites. In other words, Google will try to offer the lowest possible airfare by deprioritizing comfort, convenience, and other luxuries.
Travelers can look out for the ‘Cheapest’ tab in Google Flight starting this week. It appears Google has timed this feature to benefit travelers during the holiday season.

Informatica update targets preparing data for AI development
Informatica on Wednesday unveiled its Fall 2024 Release featuring new tools aimed at enabling customers to prepare data for training AI models and applications, including improved data integration capabilities.
Data is the foundation of any AI model or application, providing the AI tool with the intelligence it needs to inform decisions and take actions. The data, however, must be prepared properly for the model or application to be effective.
With poorly prepared data such inaccurate or irrelevant information, the AI tool will deliver incorrect outputs. But with well-prepared, high-quality data, while accuracy is not guaranteed, the likelihood of AI models and applications delivering inaccurate outputs greatly decreases.
Ensuring that data is properly prepared before using it to train AI models and applications is therefore vital, according to Stephen Catanzano, an analyst at TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group.
“Data readiness for AI is critical since the outputs from AI are only as good as the data it is trained on,” he said. “If you train AI on data that says the world is flat, that is what it will believe.”
Proper data preparation for AI includes building trusted data sources with top data quality including accurate, reliable, contextual, governed, current and diverse data, Catanzano continued.
“This is the most crucial step in the process of building a generative AI solution using enterprise data along with the data platform infrastructure to support it,” he said.
Kevin Petrie, an analyst at BARC U.S., likewise noted that proper data preparation is a crucial part of AI development. Without governance measures that result in trustworthy data, models and applications won’t succeed.
“We’ve reached the stage in this latest AI innovation cycle in which early adopters realize that, to achieve meaningful production deployments, they need to get serious about data governance,” Petrie said. “Powerful models will fail without trusted inputs by making incorrect inferences, generating false or toxic content, and so on.”
Based in Redwood City, Calif., Informatica is a data management specialist whose platform, the Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC), enables customers to integrate and prepare data for analysis.
In May, the vendor launched Claire GPT, a generative AI-powered assistant that lets customers use natural language rather than code to work with data, and a low-code/no-code environment for developing generative AI tools. A month earlier, the vendor was a rumored acquisition target of Salesforce before talks fell through amid dissatisfaction from investors.
Fueled by OpenAI’s launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, which was a significant improvement in generative AI capabilities, enterprise interest in developing both traditional AI as well as generative AI tools has surged over the past two years. Because large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini enable true natural language processing, enterprises are aiming to combine their proprietary data with LLM capabilities to enable their employees to work with data using natural language rather than code. With coding skills no longer always needed to work with data, more employees within organizations can use analytics to inform decisions, making decision-making more efficient and accurate.
In addition, because LLMs can be trained with proprietary data to automate repetitive tasks that take up a significant amount of data experts’ time, AI tools can make application developers, data engineers, data scientists and other trained experts more efficient.
However, if the proprietary data used to train AI tools isn’t prepared properly, the models and applications trained on that data won’t perform as intended.
Enterprises often possess massive amounts of data, much of it unstructured such as text, images and audio files that have been loaded into a data lake or some other storage repository and left untouched. Even some structured data such as financial and point-of-sale transaction records is often simply loaded into a data warehouse and left alone. To get all that data ready to inform AI tools, it needs to properly prepared, according to Gaurav Pathak, Informatica’s vice president of product management AI and metadata.
“Many organizations hold terabytes or petabytes of data, both structured and unstructured. But too much of that data has not been properly managed and governed — it’s not what we call AI ready,” he said. “Cleaning up messy data will help enterprises prepare data for AI.”
Informatica’s Fall Release is intended to enable enterprise customers to clean up their messy data. One key component of the update is improved integration capabilities for data stored in Databricks and Google BigQuery, according to Catanzano.
The Fall 2024 Release includes an integration between Informatica’s no-code tools and Databricks’ generative AI capabilities; an SQL-based data transformation feature that enables users to process extract, load and transform (ELT) pipelines in Databricks Delta Lake and Google BigQuery’ and a task wizard that helps guide users as they ingest and replicate data for AI projects. “Aligning with Databricks is a solid step since they are moving quickly with their [generative AI capabilities],” Catanzano said. “As an intelligent data management platform, Informatica needs to be well integrated wherever their customers are or want to be as a management layer.”
Petrie likewise noted the significance of adding ELT pipelines to Delta Lake and BigQuery.
“The ELT enhancements make a lot of sense,” he said. “Many data teams now favor ELT … [SS1] [EA2] because they can perform sophisticated transformations on data after ingesting it into platforms such as Databricks and Snowflake.”
Informatica’s Fall 2024 Release also includes the following: Petrie noted that Informatica’s update contains a wide range of new and improved features. Perhaps most significant is that they complement one another with a tool such as Turbo-charged Application Integration Runtime targeting the speed and efficiency of integrations enabled by connectors and prebuilt integration templates.
“Informatica’s enhancements for application integration make a lot of sense,” Petrie said. “To differentiate themselves, AI adopters must optimize the user experience with custom applications based on governed, well-integrated data. Informatica is helping companies do this faster and more efficiently on popular data platforms with its new templates and connectors.”
While enabling customers to prepare their data for training AI models and applications is the intent of Informatica’s latest update, the impetus for adding capabilities aimed getting data ready for AI came from a combination of customer feedback and the vendor’s own research, according to Pathak.
“Customer requirements … are always major drivers, along with our own research and development,” he said. “Today, many business and tech leaders are looking to accelerate their GenAI projects and strategic initiatives. We’re helping them with these latest innovations.”
Although Informatica’s Fall 2024 Release focuses on enabling customers to prepare data for training AI models and applications, it does not address the actual development of AI tools other than providing integrations, Catanzano noted. Last May, Informatica introduced a low-code/no-code environment for developing AI models and applications. Included are drag-and-drop capabilities, customizable templates, prebuilt techniques for generative AI development and support for a variety of LLMs and vector databases.
The vendor’s latest platform update includes integrations and connectors with development environments from other vendors such as Databricks and Google but does not include new and improved features for its own development environment.
As a result, Catanzano suggested that Informatica focus some of its future product development and marketing on its own tools for model and application developers.
“I think [Informatica should do] more to get customers to see that their platform is where they should be looking to build GenAI solutions,” he said. “They focus on getting your data ready, but I haven’t seen much about where to go next.” Eric Avidon is a senior news writer for TechTarget Editorial and a journalist with more than 25 years of experience. He covers analytics and data management.

In this video I create a new backup server from a Dell EMC PowerEdge T640 with 18x 20TB Seagate Exos refurbished drives. Also there’s some more ranting about backups in general. But idk, there are chapters so you can skip to whatever. And it’s not technically a server, in that it doesn’t serve files. It’s really more of a client that takes files from other servers and holds onto them. But I call it a backup server because hardware-wise it’s a server. Anywho, that’s the description. It’s probably not optimal for the YouTube algorithm, but hey, I’m not an influencer even though I have a TikTok account that I don’t use.

Google Flights now has a ‘Cheapest’ tab
Airline travel can get expensive and sometimes you don’t wanna wade through various options to find the lowest price. You just need the cheapest flight available and you don’t care who’s offering it.
Google added the tab to its Flights search engine that will cut your flight schedule search to the chase and just show you the “cheapest” options available, according to . So instead of wading through various fees and features, you can just view the cheapest options available from airlines and third-party airline booking sites.
The new feature is available starting today for US flights. Google will roll out the “cheapest” tab globally over the next few weeks.
The cheapest options for flights often involve what Google calls “creative itineraries” like longer than usual layovers and self-transfers from flight to flight. What we call them can’t be reprinted here. These inconveniences that make flights cheaper will now be listed under one tab.
