Motorola is finally beating Samsung at its own game

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-30 23:30:34

Ryan Haines / Android Authority When you buy a smartphone in 2025, it’s often rare that you pay the full MSRP of the phone you’re looking at. Between trade-in deals, price discounts, store credits, and more, virtually every smartphone brand is always running some kind of promotion on its Android handsets. For years, Samsung has been one of the best at this game. Even for phones that are still in the pre-order phase or have just recently launched, it’s not uncommon to find Samsung throwing in f

Samsung could finally tackle shutter lag with this Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrade

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-31 18:28:32

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A long-time leaker has claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will retain the same 200MP main camera as its predecessors. This main camera sensor will apparently be accompanied by a wider aperture. This latest leak comes after a wild rumor that the S26 Ultra would offer a larger 200MP sensor. The Galaxy S25 Ultra has been on the market for just over six months, but we’ve already encountered a ton of Galaxy S26 Ultra leaks. We previously heard that the new pho

Google will use AI to organize search results with Web Guide

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-01 17:11:35

Google's latest AI adventure is a new option for search. Web Guide is a new way that Google will organize search results based on analysis by a dedicated version of its Gemini artificial intelligence tool. The claim in the announcement is that AI can help surface the most relevant content, but it could also be a new way for Google to control what websites get prime billing in results.

Google on Thursday is launching a new AI-powered feature called Web Guide for organizing Google Search results. Web Guide is a Search Labs experiment that leverages AI technology to organize the search results page by grouping pages related to specific aspects of the search query.

Study sheds light on why some people keep self-sabotaging

Most people, after suffering consequences for a bad decision, will alter their future behavior to avoid a similar negative outcome. That's just common sense. But many social circles have that one friend who never seems to learn from those consequences, repeatedly self-sabotaging themselves with the same bad decisions. When it comes to especially destructive behaviors, like addictions, the consequences can be severe or downright tragic. Why do they do this? Researchers at the University of New S

iPadOS 26 preview: The rare software update that makes (most) old hardware feel new

The Mac and the iPad are different devices that do different things. This has been the line from Apple executives, from its initial introduction to the advent of touchscreen PCs to just last month when Apple’s Craig Federighi talked to us about iPadOS 26’s new multitasking features. But it sometimes feels like this internal commitment to keeping the devices separate has held the iPad back as its hardware has become more capable. A mouse cursor?

TL;DR Galaxy Watch Ultra’s exclusive watch faces (Simple Ultra and Ultra Analog) can now be unofficially installed on non-Ultra Galaxy Watch models via APK sideloading. Recent One UI Watch versions had blocked the installation of these watch faces, but that limitation appears to have been removed recently. It’s unclear if this change would be permanent.

A prominent leaker notes that Samsung will source the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chips from TSMC instead of using the ones it is rumored to manufacture itself.

Galaxy S26 Ultra charging speed leaks: A big jump (for Samsung)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could get 60W wired charging speeds. Two other leakers claim that the phone will actually get 65W charging. Either option would be a significant upgrade over previous Samsung Ultra phones, which topped out at 45W.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A new report reveals that the Galaxy S25 Ultra costs a little more to make than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Samsung reportedly spent an estimated 21% more on the phone’s processor. The report also found that camera, casing, and RF costs were lower than last year’s phone. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra launched way back in January, and it maintains the same $1,299 price tag as last year’s phone. However, a report suggests that the latest Ultra phone costs more to

In a study published July 10 in The Seismic Record, seismologists confirmed previous research indicating that the southern part of the large earthquake’s rupture, or fracture, took place at astounding speeds of up to between 3.1 and 3.7 miles per second (5 to 6 kilometers per second)—at supershear velocity.
