3 carriers with international features that rival Google Fi

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-18 09:00:52

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Google Fi has long been the go-to choice for travelers thanks to its unlimited plans with international roaming and calling perks. In fact, it often outperforms even the most expensive options from the big three postpaid carriers. The downside is that Fi’s “unlimited” data is not truly unlimited, with speeds dropping dramatically after 30 to 100GB of use. Add in premium pricing and a mixed reputation for customer service, and it is clear Google Fi is not perf

There was a time when smartphones packed everything and the kitchen sink, including headphone jacks, removable batteries, notification LEDs, and IR blasters. While those first three have largely fallen by the wayside, there are a few notable Android smartphones that still include the infrared projector. IR blasters are super useful for controlling other devices, like TVs and audio equipment. We’ve tested a slew of Android phones in 2025, but only a handful include IR blasters that are worth you

Andy Walker / Android Authority I’ve used almost every major Android launcher in recent years, some for a few days for testing purposes and others for years as the backbone of my smartphone’s home screen. These launchers range from the now-deprecated Nova Launcher to hot new properties like Octopi Launcher.

I’m a Pixel and foldable fan, but the Pixel 10 Pro Fold isn’t for me

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold If you want the flexibility of a folding phone with all the conveniences of Google's Pixel software, there's nothing else quite like the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. It's supremely durable, fun to use, and has great battery life, too. However, lacking design innovation, a limiting chipset, and lackluster cameras make recommending the $1,799 Pixel 10 Pro Fold somewhat difficult to anyone except die-hard Pixel fans.

Hello you fine Internet folks! Today we are looking at AMD’s largest client APU to date, Strix Halo. This is an APU designed to be a true all-in-one mobile processor, able to handle high end CPU and GPU workloads without compromise. Offering a TDP range of 55W to 120W, the chip targets a far higher power envelope compared to standard Strix Point, but eschews the need for dedicated graphics.

But the average American lives in sprawling suburban comfort that only the wealthy of other developed countries can attain. America has chosen a different life
