The OnePlus 15 has officially arrived, and let me tell you, it's got the tech world talking for all the right reasons, and some of the wrong ones too. This is not just another incremental update. OnePlus has positioned this flagship as a serious performance monster that directly challenges established players like Samsung and Apple, shifting the value equation in premium smartphones.

Samsung just pulled back the curtain on its most ambitious foldable project yet, and the timing could not be more strategic. The company's tri-fold smartphone prototype made its public debut at the K-Tech Showcase in South Korea, the first time we have seen Samsung officially acknowledge what industry watchers have been anticipating for months (Lowyat). The device sat behind protective glass, sure, but this was the clearest look yet at what could be called either the Galaxy G Fold or Galaxy Z...

After years of Google's smartwatch efforts falling just short of greatness, the Pixel Watch 4 finally delivers the complete package that Android users have been waiting for. It arrives with meaningful hardware upgrades, sharper AI integration, and design fixes to long-standing complaints. Reviews indicate this is Google's most polished smartwatch yet, pairing real battery endurance with a striking new display and artificial intelligence features that pull their weight.

Google is quietly working on something that could fundamentally change how we interact with our phones when they are "sleeping." Most of us know the basic always-on display that shows a clock and a few notifications. Android 17 appears ready to turn that into something far more powerful. The upcoming version will introduce a feature called "Min Mode" that allows applications to display their own simplified interfaces on your phone's always-on display, according to Android Authority. This is not...

Google's announcement about blocking over 10 billion malicious communications monthly through artificial intelligence marks a real milestone in the fight against mobile fraud. Instead of simply filtering obvious threats, Google built a defense ecosystem where multiple AI systems work together, each studying a different communication layer and attack vector. According to Google's security blog, this integrated approach delivers something rare, a proactive system that can identify and neutralize...

If you're keeping an eye on the smartphone landscape, there's a deal brewing that deserves your attention. Boost Mobile is positioning itself to offer the upcoming Galaxy S26 for free, and yes, you read that right. Here's the kicker: Samsung hasn't even officially announced the Galaxy S26 yet. That uncertainty is exactly why this window is interesting for people who like to move early.

Samsung's mobile browser is jumping to bigger screens, and it is bringing some compelling features along for the ride. The company is rolling out a comprehensive desktop version that blends cross-device functionality with artificial intelligence capabilities (The Verge). It is a big swing for a browser that has served mobile users for over a decade (Windows Forum). The desktop release also adds cross-platform synchronization so you can move between phone and computer without losing your place...

Google's been quietly working on something that could change how we think about spreadsheets. The latest Gemini update for Sheets is not just another AI feature, but a fundamental shift toward natural language data manipulation that could make complex spreadsheet tasks accessible to anyone. The rollout began around mid-October 2025, introducing capabilities that let users handle complex multi-step operations through simple conversational prompts. Google's enhanced AI can now execute multiple...

OnePlus has officially revealed that its upcoming flagship device will feature an enormous 7,300mAh battery powered by the company's advanced Glacier Battery technology, according to Android Central. That is serious capacity. The battery will be paired with 120W wired "Super Flash" charging and 50W wireless charging, reports suggest. The device is scheduled to launch first in China on October 27, with global markets expected shortly after, though the exact timing is unconfirmed.

Samsung's Galaxy S26 lineup is shaping up to be the company's most dramatic flagship overhaul in years. What started as whispers about a potential "Pro" model has ballooned into a full rethink of how Samsung positions its premium phones. The most surprising twist? The rumored Galaxy S26 Pro may replace the standard Galaxy S26, according to current leaks.

Magic Leap and Google are making waves again with their latest collaboration, bringing serious hardware innovation to the forefront of AR technology. The two tech giants recently showcased a prototype that merges Magic Leap's renowned optical expertise with Google's cutting-edge display technology, according to Android Central.

Samsung's latest earnings call just dropped some major hints about what's coming with the Galaxy S26 series, and the waiting game just got a lot more interesting. During their Q3 2025 financial discussion, Samsung officially confirmed that the upcoming lineup will pack significant upgrades across three key areas. Meanwhile, the rumor mill is split on whether we'll actually see a Galaxy S26 Edge or if Samsung is playing a different game entirely. Here's where things stand.

Something's brewing in the Android ecosystem that still feels under the radar, and it is worth a closer look. Google's Play Store has quietly started revealing what is coming for Android XR, and the timing is no accident. Just days before Samsung's official Galaxy XR headset debut, application listings are appearing with specialized XR tags, according to TechRadar. That early peek suggests Google and Samsung have been coordinating to launch with real content, not a barren storefront, a clear...

When Google first introduced ultra-wideband technology to its Pixel lineup back in 2021, it felt like the company was laying the groundwork for something big. The promise was clear: enhanced spatial awareness, precise tracking capabilities, and a new level of interaction between your phone and the world around it. Then reality hit: many Pixel owners cannot actually use UWB for what should be its most practical application.

Picture this: you are trying to perfect a vacation photo, and you bounce between Samsung's Object Eraser to remove that random photobomber, then Generative Edit to clean up the background. Sound familiar? Samsung has been listening to those collective sighs of frustration, and they are finally doing something about it.

OnePlus has just dropped some exciting news that's shaking up the typical smartphone launch calendar. The brand is accelerating its timeline in a major way, bringing its latest flagship to global markets much sooner than anyone expected. That is a clear shift from the delayed international rollouts that have frustrated fans for years. The OnePlus 15 will launch globally on November 13, a break from past patterns that typically saw months-long gaps between regional releases.

The Pixel Watch 4 quietly reshapes how we interact with AI assistants. Yes, it also brings better battery life, faster charging, improved repairability, and a gorgeous display, according to Android Authority. What stuck with me is the Raise to Talk gesture that activates Gemini.

OnePlus just dropped a bombshell, the kind that might make Samsung sweat. The company officially announced through Weibo that the OnePlus 15 will pack a massive 7,300mAh battery. Not just impressive; it flips the script and makes the Galaxy S25 Ultra's expected 5,000mAh pack look quaint by comparison.

Hurricane season brings a familiar anxiety to millions of Android users across storm-prone regions. Your phone's built-in weather app might say rain is coming. Fine for a picnic. Not so helpful when a Category 3 hurricane is bearing down on your neighborhood. In that moment, you want more punch. You want specialized weather apps that turn your Android into a command center.

Think of Google Wallet as your digital assistant that's always watching your back. Picture that mad dash at JFK, one hand on a roller bag, the other balancing coffee, while the gate agent calls final boarding. Your phone buzzes. There's the pass. No digging. No panic.

Samsung's latest move should not surprise anyone who has watched the ultra-thin smartphone saga unfold. The company has reportedly shelved the Galaxy S26 Edge after seeing the Galaxy S25 Edge struggle to gain traction with consumers. Samsung has decided to abandon its ultra-thin smartphone experiment following disappointing market performance, according to Times of India. The company will return to its traditional three-model strategy for next year's flagship series, the outlet reports. Even...

Recent Microsoft 365 outages have created a pivotal moment for organizations to reconsider their productivity platform dependencies. As businesses increasingly rely on cloud-based collaboration tools, the fragility of centralized systems has become painfully apparent. Recent analysis reveals how infrastructure failures can cascade across entire ecosystems, affecting millions of users globally. These disruptions are not just technical inconveniences. They raise hard questions about business...

When Oppenheimer raised its price target on Alphabet (GOOGL) from $270 to $300, it wasn't just another routine analyst adjustment, it was a clear signal that one of Wall Street's most respected voices sees significant upside ahead for Google's parent company. The investment firm's decision to maintain its "outperform" rating while boosting expectations reflects growing confidence in Alphabet's market position and growth trajectory, particularly as regulatory uncertainties have begun to clear....

Xiaomi just planted a flag in the Android update race, officially launching HyperOS 3 with Android 16 to users worldwide. Not another incremental patch. It is Xiaomi putting itself next to Google and Samsung as one of the first big names to deliver Android 16 to consumers globally. The rollout kicked off with the Xiaomi 15T series in Europe, and what stands out is Xiaomi’s evolved software play, speed without tossing stability aside across a sprawling device lineup.

Samsung's One UI 8 rollout stumbled, forcing a pause, but the Android 16-based update is now back on Galaxy S23 and S24 phones. After hitting the brakes earlier this month (Android Authority), Samsung has restarted in South Korea and says more regions are next. This is not just another patch cycle, it is a reset of trust and process, especially after the messy One UI 7 launch that knocked confidence in the company's update pipeline.

Recent leaks about Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 series point to a generation focused on refinement, not revolution. Boring on paper. Useful in practice, because it clarifies the compact-phone question. Samsung still is not going small, which is exactly why grabbing a Galaxy S25 right now makes a lot of sense.

If you'd asked me a few months ago whether Apple would ever officially support Android app development using Swift, I would have laughed. Yet here we are in late 2025, and that once-unthinkable scenario is real. Apple just unveiled the ability to build Android apps using Swift, its own programming language. Wild.

YouTube's transformation is happening right now, and it's bigger than most people realize. The platform has launched multiple interface updates that represent the most significant visual overhaul in more than a decade, according to Tom's Guide. The redesign touches everything, from player controls to how you save and browse, and it landed right after major mobile interface changes that rolled out less than two weeks earlier. The timing isn't a coincidence. YouTube is modernizing its entire...

When you are scrolling through your Google Wallet app, you might notice something new tucked alongside your payment cards and transit passes. Google has been quietly rolling out support for Play Points as a loyalty card within the Wallet app, according to Android Authority. It makes sense once you think about it, your Play Points are just another kind of digital reward card, so why not keep them with everything else?

You've probably heard about ultra-thin smartphones becoming the next big thing in mobile tech, but Samsung's latest strategic reversal shows how tricky that niche really is. What began as an ambitious swing at redefining flagship design with the Galaxy S25 Edge ended with the Galaxy S26 Edge getting cancelled, before it even launched. Not a minor hiccup; a loud warning about what happens when engineering flair drifts away from what buyers actually want.

The Pixel 10 Pro's impressive 100x zoom capability has a serious flaw that Google didn't advertise; fortunately, it is one you can solve at home. The phone nails long-distance stills that would make wildlife photographers jealous. Zoom video, though, can lurch and stutter, especially as you cross lens ranges. Thinking you need to return your $999 phone or wait months for a fix? You don't.

OnePlus is talking a big game about its next flagship, pitching the OnePlus 15's display as a straight upgrade. Peek under the hood of leaks and official teasers, and the story gets more layered. The company's president Li Jie Louis has been teasing an "ultra-high" refresh rate display, according to NotebookCheck, and leaks point to 165Hz, the highest the brand has tried.
