The Galaxy S8 reminded me of a very useful but almost abandoned Android feature

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-17 12:00:59

Today’s top Android phones all have in-display fingerprint sensors, and this tech has made major strides over the years. In fact, many modern high-end phones have ultrasonic in-display sensors with fast, accurate unlocking and the ability to scan wet fingers. However, I recently went back to the Samsung Galaxy S8 while working on a different article, and I realized that I really missed fingerprint scanner gestures on old smartphones. Not just a biometric unlocking option Many phones in the mi

Galaxy Buds 3 Pro charging flaw leaves users with one dead earbud

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-17 16:05:58

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Multiple Galaxy Buds 3 Pro owners claim to be experiencing an issue where one of their earbuds isn’t charging. It appears this issue has been a common one for the last few months. Some users have found a temporary solution. When Samsung launched the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro last year, there were a few hiccups in the quality control department. The tech giant even had to temporarily suspend shipments at one point. While some issues have been fixed since then, it

Why there’s more than meets the eye in Apple’s latest iPhone camera

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-11-17 10:00:00

If you’re coming from an iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone XS, Apple’s newest iPhone may look like a downgrade when it comes to the camera. Fortunately, there’s more than meets the eye in Apple’s latest iPhone camera. Way back in 2016, Apple released the iPhone 7 Plus. This was the first model to include two rear-facing cameras. In addition to the standard wide-angle camera, iPhone 7 Plus included Apple’s first telephoto lens. This enabled 2x optical zoom without the image degradation associated with di

The iPhone 16e lacks support for MagSafe charging, an omission that has dominated conversations about Apple’s cheapest iPhone model this week. Initially, there was speculation that MagSafe might have been excluded due to interference with Apple’s C1 chip, which is its first-ever cellular modem designed for the iPhone. Yesterday, Apple confirmed that the C1 has nothing to do with the omission of MagSafe on the iPhone 16e. New testing conducted by an iPhone case accessory manufacturer and shared

Oppo's new foldable phone is one of the thinnest I've seen - and I hope OnePlus and Samsung follow suit

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2025-11-17 08:00:19

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET The world's thinnest book-style foldable, the Oppo Find N5, is finally here. I've had it for a week, and it has surprised me in more ways than one -- both positively and negatively. At 8.93mm thick when folded, it's closer to slab phones than any other foldable has ever been. But that slimness didn't come without compromises. Judging by the on-paper camera specifications, I expected it to be underwhelming, but it's better than other foldable phones in almost every regard.

Two years ago, oil and gas company Occidental bought carbon capture startup Carbon Engineering.
