Robert Triggs / Android Authority We’re fast approaching the launch of the new Pixel 10 series and iPhone 17, and the one thing I’m really dreading is another year of sluggish charging speeds. While Google’s Pro XL model has gradually increased its charging power to a level close to Samsung’s Ultra, the smaller, more popular flagship phones in the US are stuck charging below 25W. Compared to their fast-charging Chinese counterparts, such as the 80W OnePlus 13, these supposed flagships feel pos

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority TL;DR Google executives say that the Gemini app has over 450 million monthly active users as of Q2 2025. Daily requests in the app have grown over 50% since the first quarter of the year. Gemini is replacing Google Assistant as the default voice assistant on Android phones. Gemini is so big right now, this year it basically ended up taking over Google I/O, pushing Android off to its own separate event. But if you still had any doubts about the popularity of G

SteelSeries Rival 3 Gen 2 Review: Good Budget Gaming Mice

Over the years, computer mice have become expensive. Everything has become expensive. It can be frustrating to look at a list of gaming mice and see even the cheapest options approaching $80, especially when games now cost $80 and new graphics cards regularly pass the $1,000 mark. This is where budget-oriented mice are perfect.

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.

Google DeepMind's Aeneas model can restore fragmented Latin text

At its best, AI is a tool, not an end result. It allows people to do their jobs better, rather than sending them or their colleagues to the breadline. In an example of "the good kind," Google DeepMind has created an AI model that restores and contextualizes ancient inscriptions. Aeneas (no, it's not pronounced like that) is named after the hero in Roman mythology. Best of all, the tool is open-source and free to use. Ancient Romans left behind a plethora of inscriptions.
