androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-26 20:19:10

AssembleDebug / Android Authority TL;DR • Google’s “Calling Cards” feature is now widely rolling out in v188 of the Phone app, allowing Android users to personalize incoming/outgoing call screens with full-screen photos and styling options. Calling Cards differs from Apple’s Contact Posters in that it gives you full control over how each contact appears on your device — you set one card per contact manually. Alongside Calling Cards, the updated app introduces major UI changes, including a new

‘The Wizard of Oz’ at the Sphere Has a Shocking 2-Second Cameo: David Zaslav

The Sphere’s version of The Wizard of Oz has already drawn controversy over its use of AI. Now we know another unsettling element has been introduced into the Hollywood classic: a likeness of Warner Bros. Discovery CEO and president David Zaslav. No, really: the exec, along with the Sphere’s executive chairman and CEO, James Dolan, will be superimposed on the faces of uncredited background characters in what are apparently blink-and-you’ll-miss-them appearances.

DJI Mic 3 Review: The Best Wireless Mic Gets Better

wired.com Sam Kieldsen 2025-10-27 04:00:00

When DJI announced the Mic 3 just 18 months after the excellent Mic 2, I didn’t really get it. The Mic 2 has been my own go-to wireless microphone (bought with my own money, no less) for over a year now, and it still feels new to me. What could justify yet another iteration so soon? It took about five seconds with the Mic 3 in my hands to understand exactly what DJI was thinking. The transmitter units are dramatically smaller and lighter than those on the Mic 2, so much so that they feel like e

The 11 Best Greens Powders, Tested and Reviewed (2025)

I took a deep dive on my hunt for the best greens powders, speaking with dietitians and trying popular brands to uncover whether or not they're worth the money. The health supplement market is booming. Thanks to a 1994 FDA ruling that supplements are food and not medicine, it's also unregulated—people are purchasing products that may or may not work, and which could have almost anything in them. Spoiler alert: Greens powders aren’t harmful, ultimately, but the dietitians I spoke to agreed that

Google adds iPhone-like ‘Calling Cards’ to its Phone app

theverge.com Jess Weatherbed 2025-10-27 03:39:25

Google’s Phone app is adding “Calling Cards” that let you customize the appearance of contact screens for incoming calls. They’re similar to the Contact Poster feature that iPhone users have had since 2023, allowing Google Phone app users to replace the teeny contact photos that appear when someone is calling you with full-screen images and stylized names. The update is part of Android’s Material 3 Expressive design language overhaul, which Google used to test a revamped Phone app interface in
