I love Google’s new Calling Cards feature. Here’s how to use it on your Android phone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-16 09:00:20

Joe Maring / Android Authority In late July, Android Authority reported that Google was working on a new “Calling Cards” feature for its Contacts app. Yesterday, it began rolling out widely for everyone to use. When you receive a call on your Android phone, you see a standard incoming call screen with that person’s name, number, and profile picture. Calling Cards let you spruce this up a bit, allowing you to select a full-screen picture and stylized text to display for each of your contacts. I

Android phone backups may soon get an option to save all your downloads (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-16 10:00:57

Damien Wilde / Android Authority TL;DR Android offers convenient built-in backup tools, but these don’t automatically save every file on your phone. Google appears to be working on a new option to explicitly back up downloaded files. At the moment it’s not clear if this would support any and all files types, or be limited to documents. Backing up your data is easily one of the most important thing you can do if you’re looking to avoid a smartphone accident causing you a lot of heartache, but

There's a new smartphone promising to protect your privacy: the Up Phone, from a company called Unplugged. Except it's not new. Unplugged has been around for a few years—the company was cofounded by Erik Prince, the founder of private military company Blackwater—and it originally announced the Up Phone in 2023. But this week, the company claims it's “relaunching” the phone, under new leadership. Like the original, the Up Phone's UnpluggedOS (formerly LibertOS) is built on the Android Open Sourc

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-08-16 18:29:28

Despite a recent 15% bump, following positive Q3 2025 results and a stunt that brought it tariff relief, Apple’s stock is still 5% in the red for the year. But in a recently published investor note, Morgan Stanley says it believes momentum will keep shifting. In the note (via CNBC), analyst Erik Woodring said that “the Apple story could be turning the corner.” This comes after the bank’s China team recently raised its iPhone build forecast for the September quarter by 8%, which in turn came aft

iPhone 17 release is rumored for September: Here's what to know ahead of Apple's fall event

The Apple iPhone event is right around the corner, which means the huge tech company will finally reveal its iPhone 17 lineup. The latest iOS 26 features will come preinstalled on the new models, as well as any additional features Apple reveals at the launch event. But since we still have to wait a few weeks (presumably) until the iPhone event, we can at least speculate what the new phones will look like.

Sony Xperia 1 VII The Sony Xperia 1 VII packs some of the most powerful photo and video features on the market into a robust build that finally sees a long-term update pledge to match. Sadly, the camera quality doesn't always live up to the promise, and it struggles to stand out on any other merits.
