Samsung's Fold 7 finally made me a believer in foldable phones - 3 reasons why

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Samsung's Fold 7 has reached the point that it's now the same size as flagship phones when closed. The software upgrades in One UI 8 and Android 16 finally take advantage of the productivity potential of foldables. There are multiples modes in the Fold 7 that make it even better than just a phone that transforms into a tablet. It didn't take long for Samsung's Z Fold 7 to change my mind about fold

This guy made his own slider phone out of a broken Z Flip 5 and BlackBerry keyboard

TL;DR A YouTuber attached a BlackBerry Q10 keyboard to a folded Galaxy Z Flip 5 with a broken folding screen. The YouTuber also added a magnetic slider mechanism akin to phones like the Nokia N97. A video shows that the keyboard works in apps like YouTube and in games. What happens if your Galaxy Z Flip‘s folding screen breaks? Well, you could get it repaired, or you could do what one enterprising person did and attach a BlackBerry keyboard to it. YouTuber and inventor Marcin Plaza decided t

AR Fluid Simulation Demo

Fluid Simulation (Demo) 2025 I wanted to see what happens when a fluid simulation collides with real objects. To test this idea I created this demo. To capture the shapes of objects, I mounted a webcam above the screen. A polarization filter blocks the image displayed on the screen, preventing a feedback loop, while still allowing the camera to see anything placed in front of it. The video feed is then aligned with the computer-generated simulation, so the fluid can react to those cutout obj

Your Pixel’s big Android 16 QPR1 update brings more than just Material 3 Expressive

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority Google just announced the September 2025 Pixel Drop, bringing a fresh look and new features to the entire Pixel lineup with the Android 16 QPR1 update. While the announcement highlighted major changes like the revamped UI based on Google’s Material 3 Expressive design, it glossed over several other significant additions. For example, the update also introduces a preview of Google’s DeX-like desktop mode, Live Updates, and much more. Here’s a look at every new

The Instagram iPad App Is Finally Here

Apple debuted the iconic and now wildly popular iPad in 2010. A few months later, Instagram landed on the App Store to rapid success. But for 15 years, Instagram hasn't bothered to optimize its app layout for the iPad's larger screen. That's finally changing today: There's now a dedicated Instagram iPad app available globally on the App Store. It has been a long time coming. Even before Apple began splitting its mobile operating system from iOS into iOS and iPadOS, countless apps adopted a fre

The first ten things I changed on my Pixel 10!

So you just got your brand new Google Pixel 10. Congratulations! It’s an incredible piece of hardware, and you’re probably itching to download your favorite apps, sign into your accounts, and start snapping photos. Before you dive in, though, a handful of settings can drastically improve your day-to-day experience. Unfortunately, for one reason or another, Google leaves them turned off by default. Changing these settings can do everything from improving your battery’s long-term health, saving y

Own a Samsung phone? Changing these 10 settings gave mine a big performance boost

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. I've been fairly vocal recently that Samsung's One UI 7 is my favorite Android skin. It is fast, responsive, and intuitive. But nothing comes fine-tuned to your experience straight out of the box. You need to personalize your smartphone to make it more appealing. I change almost a dozen settings on every Samsung Galaxy phone to best suit my needs, and I believe these will elevate your user experience, too. Also: The best S

ANBERNIC just put its best screen on a more budget-friendly device

TL;DR The ANBERNIC RG 476H is a new glass-front handheld. The name implies it will have a 4.7-inch screen and Unisoc T820 SoC. Pricing and availability will be announced at a later date. The string of new Android gaming handheld announcements continues, this time with ANBERNIC getting in on the action. Its latest handheld is called the RG 476H, and it might be the best possible combination of the company’s past few handhelds. With an all-glass front, the RG 476H is one of the most modern-loo

ReMarkable Paper Pro Move Review: A Small Yet Mighty Digital Notebook

I love a list. I can happily write the same to-do list in six different places in a single day (good thing I test digital notebooks and paper planners). I often find myself rewriting the little brainstorms in my Notes app because the ideas are still banging around in my brain, asking to be let free onto a page, digital or not. But not every brainstorm or list needs a full-size page. That's where ReMarkable's latest digital notebook comes in. The reMarkable Paper Pro Move ($449) takes the same t

Remarkable’s new digital notepad is smaller than a paperback

A year after Remarkable introduced its Paper Pro digital notebook with an 11.8-inch color E Ink screen, the company is following up with a smaller version that prioritizes portability. The new Remarkable Paper Pro Move feels like what you’d be left with if you were to snap last year’s Paper Pro in half over your knee. With a 7.3-inch screen, it’s

Static sites enable a good time travel experience

Varun wrote about gamifying blogging and personal website maintenance which reminded me of the time when I awarded myself some badges for blogging. I mentioned this to Varun who asked if I had any screenshots of what it looked like on my website. My initial answer was “no”, then I looked at Wayback Machine but there were not pictures of the badges. Then, a bit later it hit me. I don’t need any archived screenshots: my website is built with Eleventy and it's static so I can check out a git comm

As we await the iPhone Fold, Samsung and Huawei move onto trifolds

It seems clear we’re still a year away from the first iPhone Fold, but the rest of the market isn’t standing still. Samsung is planning to launch its first trifold phone this year, and Huawei is already onto its second-generation model. On a pedantic note, I would argue that as they have two sets of hinges, they are bifold rather than trifold, but the industry seems to have adopted the latter term, so I guess we’re stuck with it now … Huawei was first off the block with the Mate XT, shown abov

I recreated one of my favorite Pixel 10 features with this app

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority The Pixel 10 is a fresh new phone series, but its novelty lies mainly in the software, which revolves around features like Magic Cue, on-device AI improvements, scam protection, and more. Even camera improvements over the Pixel 9 series — apart from the newly added telephoto on the base Pixel 10 — largely rest on top of software enhancements. Yes, that includes the new 100x zoom on the Pro models. Don’t want to miss the best from Android Authority? Set us as a

The 35+ best Labor Day TV deals 2025: Save up to 50% on Samsung, LG, and more

AYN’s flagship gaming handheld confirms a massive screen upgrade

AYN TL;DR The AYN Odin 3 will use a bezel-less 6-inch 120Hz HD AMOLED panel. This screen will also be used on the AYN Thor, but it’s unique to AYN. Full specs and pricing for the AYN Odin 3 are expected later this week. Gaming handhelds often live or die by their screens, and AYN has taken a unique approach with its handhelds this year. The dual-screened Thor turned heads for its design and pricing, but the larger 6-inch screen on the top mostly flew under the radar. Now, AYN has announced t

Screen Saver is one of my favorite Pixel 10 features. Here’s how to use it

Joe Maring / Android Authority Among all of the software goodies introduced on the Pixel 10 series, one of my personal favorites is the new “Screen Saver” feature. When your Pixel 10 is charging, Screen Saver can display the current time, weather, and other information as an ambient, pseudo-smart display screen. It’s basically Google’s version of Standby Mode that was added to the iPhone in 2023. However, Screen Saver works a bit differently and with some additional customization options, as y

All the Subtle Changes iOS 26 Brings to Your Lock Screen

Apple released the fifth public beta of iOS 26 on Aug. 25. The beta brought a handful of new features to the iPhones of developers and testers, including a new Liquid Glass design and the ability to screen incoming calls. The update also brings more customization options to your lock screen. With the release of iOS 18, you could remove and change the controls on your lock screen, a welcome upgrade if you ever found yourself accidentally pressing your flashlight control when putting your phone b

How to screenshot on Windows

Windows offers several built-in ways to take screenshots. Sure, you can just hit the Prt Scrn button on your keyboard to capture your entire screen, but if you want to screenshot a portion of your screen, a particular window, or you have multiple monitors there are other ways you can use Windows to achieve this. Whether you're using Windows 11 or a recent update to Windows 10, the tools remain largely consistent and reliable. This guide walks you through the most useful native screenshot method

Android’s improved Quick Share interface is now rolling out, here’s what’s new

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is rolling out a new design for Quick Share. The new UI brings separate “Receive” and “Send” screens. In the “Send” mode, you can now select files directly and preview them before sending. Google’s Quick Share is an effortless way to transfer large files at high speeds from or to Android devices. You can already share files with other Android devices, Windows PCs, or Chromebooks. Google is also working to extend official support to iOS and macO

Changing these 10 settings on my OnePlus phone gave it a big performance boost

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. It's been agreed upon by the ZDNET team that the OnePlus 13 is this year's sleeper hit. At a starting price of $899, the flagship phone can compete against more expensive phones like the Pixel 10 Pro XL and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. And we have OnePlus' clean yet highly customizable software experience to thank for that. Also: You can try Android 16's new lock screen widgets - if you have one of these phones If you switche

Kindle Colorsoft Kids Review (2025): Great for All Ages

The age-old question (if “age-old” can be used for technology developed in the past 20 years) persisted as I tested the newest designed-for-kids Kindle: Should you give kids a screen when you could give them something else? If you are going to give your kids a screen, a reflective e-paper screen that's easier on the eyes than an emissive screen is one of the best ways to go. While a Kindle can't fully replace the experience of turning a page on a physical book, I loved reading from a young age

Google’s Pixel Care Plus includes free screen and battery repair

Google is phasing out its Preferred Care extended warranty plan for the Pixel Care Plus program. Pricing between the two is pretty similar. You’ll still pay $8 per-month, or $159 for a two-year plan on a Pixel 9. For a Pixel 10 Pro Fold, that jumps up to $339 for two years, or $18 per-month, with the optional loss and theft package for a small extra charge. The big changes here are that screen and battery repairs are free, and service fees for other accidental damage are much lower. Under the o

Pixel 10 reminds you not to cheap out on a quality screen protector

TL;DR Google is adding a new step to the Pixel 10 setup to ensure you use a certified screen protector. You can scan the QR code printed on the screen protector’s packaging to verify that it is supported. This ensures the screen protector works flawlessly and does not interfere with the Pixel 10’s fingerprint scanner. Screen protectors, especially those made of glass, are known for not playing well with in-display fingerprint scanners. The added thickness of the glass can interfere with the s

Corsair’s PC-dockable screen helped me monitor my PC components and news feeds

Finding a cheap secondary PC monitor is pretty easy. But if you want one that looks good, is built well, and is easily customizable, you won't find those qualities in a budget screen from a no-name brand on Amazon. Instead, Corsair's Xeneon Edge is a premium alternative that almost justifies its $250 price tag. Corsair Xeneon Edge Specs Size: 14.5 inches Resolution: 2560×720 Refresh Rate: 60 Hz Panel Type: AHVA (Advanced Hyper-Viewing Angle IPS) Dimensions: 14.65×4.72×0.87 inches (372×120×

The dual-screen gaming handheld wars have begun, and I couldn’t be happier

AYN Android gaming handhelds are still relatively new, but lately it feels like there’s a kind of renaissance. We’re seeing new form factors like the sliding ANBERNIC RG Slide and whatever the SUGAR1 is supposed to be, but finally, finally, we are getting to what I consider the holy grail of gaming handhelds: The Nintendo 3DS. Yes, the age of dual-screened Android handhelds is upon us, and several companies are rushing to take the crown. The SUGAR1 is disqualified for bending backwards, but se

Rokid Glasses Hands-On: Smart Glasses, Buggy Voice Assistant

Smart glasses are an exciting idea right now. In theory, they’re a new gadget that does lots of the stuff that our phones do, but in an always-there form factor. They can take pictures, make calls, translate menus, and—if the tech and the investment get there—they might slap a screen right onto eyeballs for notifications, navigation, and maybe even augmented reality à la Pokémon Go. I say “in theory” because just because smart glasses can do all of those things on paper doesn’t mean they can do
