The handheld gaming world just got a whole lot more expensive — and a whole lot more interesting. While Nintendo's been busy shutting down Switch emulators like Yuzu and Ryujinx throughout 2024, Android-powered gaming handhelds have quietly become the new frontier for retro gaming enthusiasts. The latest contender? The ONEXSUGAR Sugar 1, a dual-screen Android handheld that's basically what would happen if a Nintendo DS and a modern smartphone had a very expensive baby.

Gaming on Android just got a serious upgrade, and for once, Qualcomm chip owners aren't the only ones invited to the party.

Samsung's calling their latest flip phone a "pocket-sized selfie studio," but here's the twist: the cameras themselves haven't changed a single megapixel. What has transformed is how you'll actually use them — and that might be the smarter play.

Google's third Android 16 QPR1 beta just dropped, and while it won't grab headlines for flashy new features, it's tackling the stuff that actually makes you want to throw your phone across the room. These aren't random minor tweaks—they're fixes for the kinds of system-level bugs that break the fundamental promise of a smartphone: that it works when you need it to. The third beta represents Google getting serious about stability before adding more bells and whistles, marking a crucial step in...

Picture this: You're frantically searching for that PDF receipt on your phone, typing the exact filename into Files by Google… and getting absolutely nothing back. Sound familiar? You're not alone, and here's the thing: an APK teardown suggests Google is finally ready to tackle these annoying search quirks that have been driving Android users up the wall.

Ever notice how software updates feel like a lottery these days? You cross your fingers, hit download, and hope you're among the chosen few who get the good stuff without the headaches. Well, Google's latest Pixel Watch July update perfectly captures this modern tech reality—promising to fix a critical emergency bug, but only rolling out to select devices.

Google's upcoming Pixel Watch 4 is bucking the trend of smartwatch price inflation, and that's exactly what the market needs right now. While competitors keep pushing premium pricing, leaked European pricing data suggests Google is holding the line at last year's prices. For anyone who's been eyeing a Pixel Watch upgrade but dreading the potential sticker shock, this news changes everything.

The Android world moves fast, but this week's news feels like a reality check wrapped in shiny marketing promises. While Samsung just unveiled its Galaxy Z Fold 7 with a drastically thinner design and $2,000 price tag, and Google prepares to announce the Pixel 10 in late August, the real story might be what's happening behind the scenes. Reports are flooding in about Galaxy Z Fold 7 demo units refusing to open fully in stores, while Fitbit users are discovering their premium trackers have...

Picture this: you're juggling multiple devices, each with its own charging cable, and your desk looks like a tech graveyard. The OnePlus 2-in-1 Supervooc Cable might just be the clutter-buster you never knew you needed.

Your phone buzzes. You reach for it, fingers fumbling against the screen, and suddenly you've hung up on your boss. Or maybe your mom calls three times in a row, but the app groups them together so you can't tell if it was urgent or just her usual check-in routine. Sound familiar?

While everyone's fumbling around with separate charging cables for their phone and smartwatch, OnePlus quietly cracked the code with their new 2-in-1 SuperVOOC Cable. It's not just another charging cable — it's a single solution that charges both your phone and watch simultaneously, and honestly, it's about time someone figured this out.

Picture this: you fire off a message that feels important, watch it disappear into the digital void, and then spend the next hour wondering if it actually made it to your friend's phone. Google Messages will soon tell you exactly what happened to sent messages, ending that familiar anxiety once and for all.

Google's biggest smartwatch upgrade in years isn't coming through new hardware—it's arriving silently through the Play Store. The company is rolling out Gemini AI to older Wear OS watches starting this week, transforming your wrist into a genuinely smart assistant that can handle everything from complex cooking questions to calendar management.

The Android security world just got a wake-up call, and it's not pretty. A sneaky malware strain called Konfety has been making headlines—not for what it does, but for how brilliantly it hides what it does. Here's the kicker: this isn't just another banking trojan or adware nuisance. Konfety represents a new breed of Android malware that's fundamentally rewriting the rules of detection evasion through sophisticated technical manipulation and systematic exploitation of security tool...

Looking at the latest leaks, Google's upcoming Pixel 10 Pro Fold appears to be making a strategic compromise that might actually be smarter than chasing the ultra-thin foldable trend. While leaked renders show a device "pretty identical to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold in all regards," there's a more significant story emerging from the technical specifications.

Samsung's about to shake up the foldable world with something we haven't seen before: an Exynos chip powering their flagship flip phone. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 marks Samsung's first flagship foldable to ship without a Snapdragon processor, instead featuring the brand-new Exynos 2500. But here's the million-dollar question: does this 3nm powerhouse deliver flagship performance, or are we looking at a beautiful compromise that'll leave you wanting more?

Picture this: You wake up to find your favorite AI app suddenly vanished from Google Play Store, not because of a bug or developer decision, but because an entire nation's privacy watchdog pulled the nuclear option. That's exactly what's happening with DeepSeek in Germany, and it's about to reshape how we think about AI apps on Android.

Picture this: You're about to download factory images for your Pixel 6a, maybe to flash some custom firmware or restore from a bootloop, and suddenly… they're gone. Google has quietly pulled all Pixel 6a factory images from its developer portal, and the timing couldn't be more telling. This move comes just as the company prepares to roll out a mandatory battery update that will fundamentally change how affected devices work.

Picture this: OnePlus drops news about a 7,100mAh battery in the upcoming Nord CE5, and suddenly everyone's talking about all-day power that could outlast your weekend camping trip. But here's where things get interesting — that massive cell isn't coming to every region. The OnePlus Nord CE5 sports a massive 7,100mAh battery, but not in every region, which means your location might determine whether you get this power-packed experience or something more traditional.

Picture this: you're walking downtown, phone in pocket, completely unaware that a small device nearby is quietly intercepting your calls, texts, and location data. This isn't some dystopian future—it's happening right now with "Stingray" surveillance devices. But Android 16 might finally give you the heads-up you never knew you needed.

The thinnest Galaxy ever feels incredible in the hand, but its diet comes with sacrifices you need to know about before spending $1,099.

Over time, your Android phone or tablet has likely connected to dozens of Wi-Fi networks — and it remembers every single one. Whether it's a hotspot at home, school, work, the gym, a coffee shop, a relative's apartment — or even from a friend's phone — each time you type in a Wi-Fi password, your Android device saves it for safekeeping and easy access later.

Samsung has a cool security feature built into One UI with an interesting side effect that lets you have two separate copies of any Android app on your Galaxy phone. And that's not the only integrated Samsung tool for cloning apps.

Chromebooks offer multiple ways to share files with other devices, whether you're transferring to another Chromebook, an Android phone, or even a Windows PC. Each method has its own advantages, depending on whether you want something quick and built-in or a more feature-rich third-party option.

If you own a Samsung phone and enjoy rooting or modding your device, flashing official firmware can be very useful. Odin is Samsung's own internal program for loading such updates for testing purposes, and it's quite easy to use for your own custom modification needs.

A great way to incorporate a healthy exercise routine is by taking lots of steps throughout the day. While most smartphones can track and report your steps via a third-party app, you can check them right from your home screen if you have a OnePlus phone.

Besides obvious features like a touchscreen and biometric sensors, the modern smartphone comes with an array of state-of-the-art hardware in the form of various sensors that help your device sense the environment around it. And if you have a Samsung handset, chances are, you have a handy feature built in that enables you to check if these sensors are functioning 100 percent.

When I got my first smartphone, it didn't take long before my friends and I created a game that we liked to call "Paste-Send." You see, instead of having to use T9 to type out text messages, the touch-based interface made copying and pasting incredibly easy. So that meant we could copy a piece of text, then paste it into text messages in rapid succession to text bomb the annoyed recipient. It was all in good fun, of course, and it usually evoked a stream of swear words from the guy on the other...

If you're using the default Samsung Keyboard on a Samsung Galaxy smartphone or Gboard on a Google Pixel or any other Android device, here's a cool trick you should know about.
