Google’s answer to Apple’s Handoff is coming with a welcome upgrade for Android (Updated)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-10 04:46:55

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on an Android-wide “Handoff” feature for multi-device syncing. This feature will enable access to apps and media across your devices, and even sync notifications between them. Apple has a similar Continuity feature called Handoff, albeit without notification syncing. Update, July 1, 2025 (04:46 AM ET): We’ve managed to enable the UI for the Handoff feature within Cross-device services. The feature is still a work in progress and doe

Lil Katz / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s Nest smart speakers with Gemini-backed Google Assistant are getting new voices. The three new voices are also named after plants, as were the seven previously made available by Google in December 2024. Gemini-powered Google Assistant is still an experimental feature, available only in the US. Google’s ongoing mission to replace the traditional Google Assistant with Gemini has largely been limited to Android phones. Other devices, such as smart spea

Someone brought Flappy Bird back to Android, but there’s a good reason you shouldn’t download it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-10 05:00:23

Joe Maring / Android Authority If, like me, you had an Android phone in the 2010s, you almost certainly played Flappy Bird. And all these years later, I still occasionally find myself itching to play a few rounds. Unfortunately, playing the original Flappy Bird in 2025 is all but impossible. But thanks to one developer, Flappy Bird is back. Recently, a new developer got the attention of the r/Android subreddit by announcing they had reverse-engineered the original Flappy Bird to run on a 64-bi

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-10 05:30:25

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung seems to be developing a new “Alert Center” in One UI 8 to notify users about sneaky apps, security risks, and aging account settings. Code strings describing “Alert Center” and its features were discovered in an internal One UI 8 build. It’s unclear when Samsung will launch the new security hub, but it should be available in your phone’s Settings when and if it goes live.

Google is playing a dangerous game with the Pixel 10 Pro

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority We’re less than two months out from when we expect Google to launch the Pixel 10 series, and yesterday, we saw one of the most significant leaks yet. Android Headlines published “official” specifications for the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL, and assuming they’re accurate, they paint a worrying picture for this year’s Pro Pixel phones. It’s not that the specs are bad, per se, but they’re virtually identical to the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL. The displa

At the time, users could choose between upgrading or remaining on the original version of the platform.
