I love Nothing’s Android phones, but it’s getting harder to trust them

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-29 07:00:05

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Since the launch of the Nothing Phone 1 in 2022, Nothing has marketed itself as “not like the other phone brands.” From product design to offbeat videos showing CEO Carl Pei reacting to reviews, the company has constantly tried to demonstrate how it stands apart from other smartphone makers. However, Nothing has recently been involved in a photo-fakery scandal. Between this latest controversy and previous ones, it’s clear that Nothing isn’t really different from

Google Maps will finally ask how you want Motion Photos handled (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-29 07:59:34

TL;DR Motion Photos combine a still picture with a short video clip. Currently when uploading a Motion Photo to Google Maps, it only works as a still pic. The app appears to be working on support for letting users choose to upload Motion Photos as videos. Motion Photos may be one of the coolest camera options available to us that we just don’t pay nearly enough attention to, able to fuse short video clips with our still photos in order to better preserve the whole vibe of a moment.

iOS 26 fixed the Photos app and it’s more powerful than ever

9to5mac.com Fernando Silva 2025-10-29 05:44:03

Last year, with iOS 18, Apple tried to shake up the Photos App by making it more streamlined. They put everything under one view, and for most people, it was a flop. Instead of making it simpler to navigate, it was actually even more tedious to use. It felt like nothing really had its own place, and everything was just on one never-ending page. Apple seemed to have heard us and changed up the look and feel of the Photos App with iOS 26 and I think they nailed it. They took the best parts of the

Google Photos adds image background removal for custom stickers, only on iOS

9to5mac.com Ben Schoon 2025-10-29 07:07:43

Google Photos is rolling out support for making custom stickers from your photos, but it only works on iOS with seemingly no plans to bring it to Android. If you open up certain photos in your Google Photos library on iOS, you might notice the ability to turn those photos into a sticker by removing the background. A ring around the photo subject will appear after a second or two, indicating that you can use the photo to make a sticker. After that, you can either copy it to your clipboard or sha

I Tested Honor's Rival to Samsung's Z Fold 7 and It's a Skinny Powerhouse

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-29 06:30:03

At only 4.1mm thick at its thinnest unfolded point, the Honor Magic V5 is incredibly skinny. In fact, the company has said it's the world's thinnest foldable measuring in just 0.1mm skinnier than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7. That claim is debated -- it depends whether you include the built-in screen protector or not -- but we're almost literally splitting hairs at this point. World's thinnest or not, it's mind-blowingly svelte. Well, it blew my mind, anyway. The other foldables I've been using re

Google Photos is letting you lift subjects as stickers — but only on iOS (Update: Announcement)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-29 11:05:21

Update, August 28, 2025 (10:05 AM ET): Just days after we first got word of this new sticker tool in Photos hitting iOS users, Google has gone ahead and formally announced the feature. The company confirms that for the moment, at least, sticker generation is going to remain an iOS exclusive. That said, Google tells us that “Android support hasn’t rolled out yet, but we’ll keep you posted when that changes,” so just have a little patience.

Apple's iPhone 17 'Awe dropping' event is on September 9 — Here's what we expect

One of the most devastating parts of grief is how it can strike out of nowhere. There you are, doing a perfectly normal, everyday thing, and then that perfectly normal, everyday thing reminds you of something or someone who is no longer there. And when that presence you lost was intimately connected with your life, well, those moments happen frequently and unexpectedly.

Honor’s Magic V5 is the thinnest foldable yet, but that’s not why it matters

theverge.com Dominic Preston 2025-10-29 11:30:00

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Honor’s Magic V5 is the thinnest book-style foldable in the world, but you probably couldn’t tell. It’s just 0.1mm thinner — that’s four-thousandths of an inch — than the Oppo Find N5 or Samsung’s recent Galaxy Z Fold 7. If that’s a difference you claim to perceive, then I’m afraid I simply don’t believe you. I’ve put the V5 side by side with the Find N5 and I can barely feel the difference, let alone see i

Honor’s slim Magic V5 foldable is fun to use, minus the huge camera bump

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-10-29 11:30:00

There is a spec war going on among companies to claim the crown of thinnest foldable. Phone manufacturers are playing with fractions of millimeters to boast about their phone’s thickness. Honor is winning this race on a theoretical basis with its 8.8mm (when folded) thick Magic V5 foldable. I’m saying theoretical because there is a huge, camera-bump-sized caveat to this.

I edited my first Pixel 10 Pro pictures with Ask Photos, here’s how it went

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-29 15:00:11

I love the camera on my Pixel 10 Pro. I’ve trusted Google’s extremely natural approach to image processing for years, reaching for its lifelike tones over Samsung’s punchy reds and greens ever since I switched from the Galaxy S10 to the Pixel 5. However, I’ve always had one little problem with Google’s realistic approach: Sometimes I feel like my images are missing some character. So, when Google announced Ask Photos as a brand-new way to edit my entire camera roll of thoroughly average snaps,

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Much ink has been spilled around the Pixel 10’s SIM situation. In the US, the three main phones — Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL — ship without a physical SIM slot. You can use two eSIMs at the same time, and some of us think that’s fine. While I do love my eSIMs, I’m not ready to adopt them full time just yet, so you can’t imagine my relief when we learned that the rest of the world gets to keep the slot.

Pixel 10's US Launch Might Be the Moment That eSIM Finally Becomes Easy

Google's choice to go eSIM-only in the US for the Pixel 10 might actually be a well-timed move by the company. While I was initially concerned that an eSIM-only phone might be a frustrating roadblock for the Pixel 10, several advances in how the US carriers support eSIM, along with a new iOS 26 feature, might actually make it easier than ever to switch your phone.
