androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-27 02:30:01

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority It’s a known fact that ChatGPT, Gemini, and most AI chatbots hallucinate answers sometimes. They make up things out of thin air, lie to please you, and contort their answers the moment you challenge them. Although those are becoming more rare instances, they still happen, and they completely ruin trust. If I never know when Gemini is saying the truth and when it’s lying to me, what’s the point of even using it? That’s why I mostly gravitate towards Perplexity

Andy Walker / Android Authority Choosing a web browser is a deeply personal decision, as I’ve learned from reading spicy comments on various forums over the years. I’ve been loyal to Firefox for a long time, but Mozilla’s recent missteps and the browser’s growing flaws have started to bitter my experience. So, I explored the Play Store for sweeter alternatives and stumbled across a potential candidate: Banana Browser. What Chromium-based browser do you use? 60 votes I use Google Chrome. 43 % I

Users can soon register up to four devices at once and switch between them using the PS and action button combination.

The S25 Ultra is more expensive to make than the S24 Ultra, and it’s thanks to this part

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-27 04:04:31

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

Android’s Apple-inspired Handoff feature is moving closer to completion (APK teardown)

Google TL;DR Android’s Handoff functionality is taking shape, with new options for cross-device file sharing now visible. We also saw glimpses of app sharing, which could allow you to access apps installed on other devices. The toggles and buttons are not active, which suggests that Google may still modify how these features function. Apple’s ecosystem is one of its most compelling selling points, and Google is eyeing the same success by working on its adaptation in Android. Some of the feat

Odd camera designs are all the rage right now, and the latest HUAWEI flagship is jumping right into this trend. The Pura 80 Ultra is the Chinese company’s latest effort, and once again, it doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the photographic experience… but it comes with a familiar set of caveats for anyone keeping up with HUAWEI’s situation.

When two or more buses are scheduled at regular intervals on the same route, planners may expect that each will make the same progress, pausing at each stop for the same interval (1). But if Bus B is delayed by traffic congestion (2), it incurs a penalty: Because it arrives late to the next stop, it will pick up some passengers who’d planned to take Bus C (3). Accommodating these passengers delays Bus B even longer, putting it even further behind schedule. Meanwhile, Bus C begins to make unusual

Tesla’s Nightmare Continues as Musk Warns of ‘Rough Quarters’ Ahead

Revenue fell 12% to $22.5 billion from $25.5 billion a year earlier, marking Tesla’s second consecutive quarter of declining profits and revenue this year.
