Changing these 7 settings on my Samsung phone improved its battery life by hours

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Samsung's Galaxy smartphones are some of the best Android phones available today, thanks to their responsive and feature-rich software. But most Samsung phones -- especially the flagships like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 7, and Z Flip 7 -- come with over-the-top features that you might not use daily. If your new Galaxy phone isn't lasting an entire day on a single charge, there are ways to make the most of what you

In just a few days, the Apple iPhone 17 event will be here — the "awe dropping" event is officially confirmed for Tuesday, September 9. If Apple follows its past schedule, that could mean we'll get to download iOS 26 and iPad 26 exactly one week after the event. Coming with the OS 26es are huge upgrades to your iPhone and iPad's operating systems. You've heard of Liquid Glass, right? It's like the better-executed version of Windows Vista and definitely one of the cooler features coming this fall

Are you hoping for a live iPhone event on September 9? [Poll]

To say that Apple’s pre-recorded events are divisive is an understatement. What initially seemed like a pandemic-fueled stopgap has become the company’s standard way to make announcements, even though its competitors have largely moved back to live presentations. With the upcoming “Awe Dropping” event, Apple has an opportunity to take a new crack at the live event format. Do you think it’ll take it?

iPhone 17 vs. iPhone 17 Air, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max: New Rumored Specs Compared

While we typically wait until phones are actually released to compare them, Apple's next iPhone models are so highly anticipated that we'll make an exception. We're basing our comparisons on the most credible rumors of what's coming in the iPhone 17 series, including a potential super-thin iPhone 17 Air, to give readers an early sense of how the new series of phones may look. Last year's iPhone 16 series added a handful of upgrades over its predecessors, most notably the new Camera Control key.

Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. iPhone 16 Pro Max: Has Google closed the gap? [Video]

9to5mac.com Damien Wilde 2025-10-28 17:42:35

From jibes to full-blown homage, the Pixel 10 Pro XL owes a lot to the iPhone and, by extension, the 16 Pro Max. Just how does Apple’s best device of last year stack up against Google’s best of this year? Here’s all you need to know. Before we start comparing Apples to Googles, we must acknowledge that things can’t be like-for-like. If you’re an Android person—like us—you probably don’t care about iOS things.

When Google finally revealed the Pixel 10 series last week, I was there.

It was an incredibly exciting time for me, because I’m a huge fan of what Google is trying to do with its Pixel line. But you know who wasn’t so excited about it? A lot of you.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

The company confirms that for the moment, at least, sticker generation is going to remain an iOS exclusive.

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 01:30:00

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.
