Is Visible Plus Pro worth the extra $10 a month?

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority I’ve been a big Visible fan for years. While it’s not the only carrier I use, it’s definitely the one I most often come back to. I’m also not the only one in our staff who favors it, as Joe Maring recently left T-Mobile for Visible. There’s a lot to like about Visible, and it only continues to get better. Earlier this spring, the Verizon-owned brand announced a new plan: the confusingly named Visible Plus Pro. Naming aside, I signed up to give it a try and se

Alex Walker-Todd / Android Authority When it comes to the very best foldable phones, Samsung’s name tends to be one of the first that comes to mind. While the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is a fairly iterative update over its predecessor, it does make some notable improvements to AI features, durability, and more. As much as the Fold 6 gets right, there is still plenty of room for Samsung to improve. And thanks to increased competition in the foldable space with devices like the Google Pixel 9 Pro F

Foldables are going to miss out on this major Android 16 multitasking feature

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-22 12:27:33

TL;DR Foldables like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold won’t support on-device windowing in Android 16. Only tablets will have the option of floating app windows, while phones with Desktop Mode will need an external display. Desktop Mode support is optional for OEMs building phones and foldables. If you were still hoping that Android 16 might finally let you run apps in floating windows on your foldable, you might want to temper those expectations.

Type-based vs Value-based Reflection Frequently, whenever the topic of Reflection comes up, I see a lot of complains specifically about the new syntax being added to support Reflection in C++26. I’ve always thought of that as being largely driven by unfamiliarity — this syntax is new, unfamiliar, and thus bad.
