As Samsung tests the tri-fold waters, a major rival is readying a second-gen model

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-16 04:45:55

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR HUAWEI is reportedly planning to launch its next-generation tri-fold phone later this year. This successor to the Mate XT Ultimate Design could arrive before Samsung’s first tri-fold even hits the shelves. The new HUAWEI foldable is expected to improve on the Mate XT’s durability and performance. Today’s leaks may have given us clues that Samsung’s first tri-fold foldable is edging closer to release, but it seems like one of its top competitors may alread

Don’t let hype about AI agents get ahead of reality

technologyreview.com Yoav Shoham 2025-08-16 23:00:00

Let’s start with the term “agent” itself. Right now, it’s being slapped on everything from simple scripts to sophisticated AI workflows. There’s no shared definition, which leaves plenty of room for companies to market basic automation as something much more advanced. That kind of “agentwashing” doesn’t just confuse customers; it invites disappointment. We don’t necessarily need a rigid standard, but we do need clearer expectations about what these systems are supposed to do, how autonomously th

5 reasons why Google’s Pixel software is better than Samsung’s One UI

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-17 01:00:27

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority Sorry, Samsung, but I’ve always been a Pixel fan. Although I’ve appreciated a Galaxy device here and there and had a soft spot for Samsung’s hardware ever since I brought home the Galaxy S10 at the end of college, I’ve always been happiest with a Google device in my pocket. For a while, I wasn’t quite sure why I felt so strongly about preferring Google’s experience over Samsung’s, but after a few recent updates, I’ve come around to a simple fact: Google’s Pix

Writing Code Was Never the Bottleneck

news.ycombinator.com Pedro Tavares 2025-08-14 15:43:57

For years, I’ve felt that writing lines of code was never the bottleneck in software engineering. The actual bottlenecks were, and still are, code reviews, knowledge transfer through mentoring and pairing, testing, debugging, and the human overhead of coordination and communication. All of this wrapped inside the labyrinth of tickets, planning meetings, and agile rituals. These processes, meant to drive quality, often slow us down more than the act of writing code itself because they require t

The primary camera on the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to retain a 200MP sensor, potentially marking three generations without a significant upgrade to this component.
