This Pixel 9 Pro Is So Clean, It Feels Like the iPhone of Androids

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-15 06:39:00

CNET's key takeaways After months of using Google's Pixel 9 Pro, I like its solid overall performance and quirky new AI skills. The element that stands out most is how easy it is to use. While Android users swear by them, a lot of other people consider Android phones to feel overly complex. The user interface isn't quite as easy to adjust as Apple's offering. And while it may sound unreasonable, Samsung's Galaxy S25 range, for example, has deep menu settings that let you tweak nearly every as

Pour one out for the Galaxy Note line as updates come to an end

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-15 11:15:45

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has finally ended software support for the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra. The August 2025 patch was their final update, leaving them on One UI 5.1. Fans say they’ll keep using the phones, but the Note line is now officially over. The Galaxy Note series was iconic in its day, but time waits for no device, and now the last models have finally been cut off. Samsung has stopped supporting the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra, with the August 202

I tested the Abxylute One Pro, and it nails game streaming (with a catch)

Abxylute One Pro If you want to stream games without tinkering with settings or dealing with Android jank, the Abxylute One Pro is a great pick. But if you want a little more, you can get better performance for the price. If you had asked me six years ago, I would have told you that game streaming was the future of gaming. Now that Stadia is dead and Xbox Cloud Gaming hasn’t made any significant improvements in years, the world seems to have shifted focus to gaming handhelds. But there’s a uni

Samsung’s new DeX drops desktop UI on tablets, and not everyone will be happy

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR In One UI 8, Samsung DeX no longer offers the full desktop interface on tablets unless connected to an external display. The updated version improves ease of switching between regular Android and DeX mode without closing apps. When using the standalone tablet view, traditional navigation buttons and quick settings are absent, resulting in a less mouse-friendly experience.

AI-powered smart glasses are all the rage nowadays. However, despite their potential, one of the main issues with smart glasses is their appearance and feel. Most are usually big, bulky, made with plastic to keep the weight low, and have large stems to hold all the tech. It all adds up to quite an uncomfortable experience and often looks out of place.
