Here’s why people are putting grip tape on their $2,000 Galaxy Z Fold 7

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-03 20:41:38

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Despite largely positive reviews, several Galaxy Z Fold 7 users report difficulty opening the device due to its ultra-thin sides and strong magnets. Community members have tried cases, skins, grip tape, and techniques like optimal thumb placement as workarounds. Some suggest hardware changes, like grippier textures or indentations, could improve usability without compromising the design too much. Chinese foldables have dominated the last few years, mai

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority TL;DR Nintendo Switch emulator Eden just dropped v0.0.3 release candidate. It brings performance improvements, plus key new features to make setup easier. The growing team also teased a few upcoming features, including EmuReady integration. Nintendo Switch emulation hit some big setbacks last year with Nintendo effectively shutting down Yuzu and Ryujinx, but more recently things have really started to heat up.

5 Samsung DeX features I’ll miss if they don’t return in One UI 8

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-03 21:00:42

I’ll admit it: I’ve never been the biggest Samsung DeX user. Not because I don’t like it — I think it’s the gold standard for casting your phone to an external display — but because I spend far too much time with non-Samsung phones in my pocket. The funny thing is that every time I leave the Galaxy ecosystem behind, that’s precisely when I need DeX most. And now that it’s about to undergo significant changes as part of One UI 8, I’m a little worried. I don’t want to lose certain DeX features, e

I was a Niagara Launcher doubter until I built my ultimate productivity home screen

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-03 21:30:33

Andy Walker / Android Authority There was a time when Nova Launcher was the only home screen app I’d consider using on my Android phones. It was the pinnacle of the genre, offering a dizzying array of customization options and a wealth of search features. However, as my need for a launcher that enhances focus and productivity grew, Nova fell off my radar. I began exploring the many alternatives available. My current launcher choice is Kvaesitso, thanks to its unique vertically biased design an

I returned to Pokémon Go after 4 years, and it’s just as painful to play as ever

Megan Ellis / Android Authority I’ve been playing Pokémon Go on and off since the day the mobile game came out in 2016. As a result, I’ve seen its changes over the years — from the introduction of new creatures to catch, the launch of community days and raids, and plenty of other new features. But there’s a reason that I would take breaks from the game, including my four-year pause between 2021 and 2025. Pokémon Go has an accessibility problem.

5 apps you should use instead of Obsidian

Additionally, the US has recently revived a bill very similar to the British legislation.

Considering Samsung's new Z Flip 7? Why I recommend waiting for next year's model

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Having spent a few days with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, I can easily say that it's Samsung's most polished clamshell foldable to date. The expanded cover screen finally feels complete, DeX support is an incredible bonus on such a tiny footprint, and its battery life got a solid bump up.

In June, a fuel delivery to a Johns Hopkins Hospital campus went terribly awry, spilling 2,000 gallons of diesel into Baltimore’s harbor. As the Maryland capital raced to contain the mess, responders discovered a problem: They didn’t have access to reliable power at the waterfront site.

Seriously, Why Do Some AI Chatbot Subscriptions Cost More Than $200?

Why does OpenAI’s monthly subscription for ChatGPT Pro cost $200? Because CEO Sam Altman said so. “I personally chose the price and thought we would make some money,” Altman wrote on X. Launched late last year, the plan designed for power users includes almost unlimited access to ChatGPT as well as first dibs on feature launches, like OpenAI’s new agent.

This Star System Contains 5 Potentially Habitable Planets

A team of astronomers from the University of Montreal has discovered a new potentially habitable exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf star L 98-59, 35 light-years from Earth. This discovery means there are now five confirmed planets in this solar system’s “temperate” or “habitable” zone, the region in a solar system where liquid water could exist on planets’ surfaces.
