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

These 8 iPhone 17 Pro Max Feature Rumors Have Me Questioning My Earlier Phone Choices

Apple's phone lineup is usually split between the more-affordable iPhone and the extras-added iPhone Pro models, but this year we could see another split, and I'm not talking about a possible iPhone 17 Air. Whereas the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are basically the same phones but with different size screens and bodies, the iPhone 17 Pro Max expected to be announced at Apple's "Awe dropping" event next week on Sept. 9 could set itself apart from the regular-size iPhone 17 Pro.

AI has become a staple of just about every new phone, but that doesn't mean it's a centerpiece of most people's lives. A CNET survey finds that just 11% of US smartphone owners choose to upgrade their devices because of AI features, a 7% drop from a similar survey last year. Further, about 3 in 10 people don't find mobile AI helpful and don't want to see more features added. Don't miss any of our unbiased tech content and lab-based reviews.

The best MagSafe power banks for your iPhone

One of the first guides I ever worked on for Engadget was about power banks. In the years since, I’ve tested more than 50 portable batteries to keep our top picks as up-to-date as possible. Now that the iPhone 17 is on the horizon — and rumored to be the thinnest ever — we wanted to devote some space to MagSafe battery packs in particular. I gathered up a new crop of batteries to test and compared the results with our existing data to pick the best MagSafe-compatible battery out there. As we

What Does 'Awe Dropping' Even Mean? Decoding Apple's iPhone 17 Event Announcement

Apple's big fall event is less than a week away, and we're still puzzling over the tagline and animated logo that accompanied invitations to the Sept. 9 "Awe dropping" gathering. Is the iconic Apple logo on fire? Does it portend a new heat-sensing feature of the Vision Pro that will make you feel like a Predator hunting prey through the jungle? Or maybe a designer at Apple just came up with a cool-looking effect and thought it would be fun to use it? Nah, the company has a history of enigmatic

TL;DR A new report from Korean media highlights a slightly different launch timeline for the Galaxy TriFold than previously rumored.

Joe Maring / Android Authority Losing your Android phone or having it stolen is never fun. While Google’s Find Hub can make the ordeal a lot less stressful, it isn’t a 100% foolproof solution to recovering a lost device. As with all things in life, having a backup plan is a good idea. In addition to Find Hub, lost Samsung phones also have the option of being found via Samsung’s SmartThings Find service.

I’d be more excited about the Pixel 10 Pro if it had this iPhone camera feature

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-25 12:00:07

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority The Pixel 10 Pro sits in quite an awkward spot this year. The main differentiator between the standard Pixel and the Pro model has long been the third camera, but that gap closed with the Pixel 10 also rocking a three-cam setup this time. Getting a solid telephoto camera on a $200 cheaper phone already sabotages the 10 Pro’s position as the real ‘Pro’ for most people. Since Google’s phones are known for cameras — they are called Pixels after all — the Pixel 10

It looks like the tipster is referring to the Xiaomi 16 Pro, vivo X300 Pro, and OPPO Find X9 Pro. The OPPO Find X9 Pro in particular could offer a 7,550mAh battery.

For people who miss the days of low-cost, tinkering-friendly Nexus phones, Google's vision is moving ever further away from that, but the attention to detail and overall polish of the Pixel experience continue with the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL.
