androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-29 06:20:25

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority When I first started using a smartphone, the choice between Android and iOS felt like an easy one. Sure, Apple had an attractive UI, and an early lead on third-party software support, but going the iPhone route meant living in Apple’s walled garden. And while there are absolutely benefits to that kind of approach, it just fundamentally felt wrong to me: I viewed smartphones as the next phase of general-purpose computers, and wasn’t interested in a platform loc

C.

While we absolutely prioritize things like performance, features, and pricing when evaluating which phone we want to buy next, we don’t talk nearly as much about another still-very-important consideration: how the phone feels in your hand.

Samsung will unveil new phones and devices for its Galaxy line during a Sept. 4 virtual event. The upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event is timed just ahead of the IFA 2025 conference, a consumer tech event held in Berlin.

How Marvel’s Huge Budget for ‘Eternals’ Actually Worked Against It

Chloé Zhao is currently promoting her follow-up to Marvel Studios’ Eternals, an adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s novel Hamnet. The 2020 book is based on William Shakespeare and his wife as they grieve the loss of one of their children, which would go on to inspire Hamlet. It makes sense that after making a movie where the Academy Award-winning director’s voice felt pulled in many directions, a more intimate movie would be her next choice.
