Weekly poll: will you buy the Xiaomi 17T or the Xiaomi 17T Pro?

But the ranking of the other options did surprise us – barely anyone cared about Wear OS 7. The smartwatches lost to Gemini Intelligence and Android Auto (which were essentially tied) and even the new Googlebook design (the Android-powered laptops) sparked more interest. Some...
