This optional mode activates various safeguards, such as blocking app sideloading, preventing USB data access, and disabling 2G network connections.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority OnePlus 13 OnePlus has seen better days in the US, but it’s still one of the best alternative brands in the market. Between the cutting-edge hardware and competitive pricing, these Android phones are great rivals to Samsung and Google’s devices. However, two US lawmakers have reportedly asked the Commerce Department to investigate whether OnePlus phones are sending data to China.

Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event is a week away and I expect to see new foldable phones such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 as well as new Galaxy Watches. Remember when July was a quiet month for tech? Not anymore.

Samsung’s One UI 8 Watch update is so good, I might give up on the Pixel Watch

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-20 07:40:05

Ryan Haines / Android Authority One UI 8 beta is already rolling out to Galaxy Watches, and I’m equally annoyed by and in awe of it. The reason is that I was a Galaxy Watch 4 user back in 2021, but I migrated to Google’s wearable when the first Pixel Watch launched. My decision was mostly guided by my desire to stay within Fitbit’s ecosystem, which had many years of my personal activity and health data. Since then, I’ve had the first, second, and third Pixel Watch, and I thought that this year,
