Early look: Circle to Search’s translation feature is in for a massive upgrade (APK teardown)

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing a live translation functionality in Circle to Search. Unlike the current translation function, the live functionality is likely to translate dynamic screens, such as moving webpages or videos. The Live Translate functionality can be used per app, for the entire screen, or a smaller, selected portion of it. Google’s Circle to Search is a stellar search feature that allows you to look up information about anything on the screen. Beside

iOS 26 tweaks iPhone Always On Display in a way you might not like

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-11-13 20:52:32

Apple’s Always On Display has been fairly consistent since it debuted on iPhone 14 Pro. With iOS 26, Apple has quietly changed how it works in a way that may not be obvious. Always On Display modes Instead of simply dimming your Lock Screen wallpaper, the system now blurs it by default. The tweak makes the clock and widgets stand out more, but it also defeats the purpose of displaying a photo if that’s what you like about the feature.

This excellent Samsung Good Lock feature should come to all Android phones

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority Say what you will about Samsung One UI, but it makes a strong argument for being one of the most feature-rich Android skins on the market. That’s in large part due to the company’s Good Lock suite of apps, which allows you to deeply customize various aspects of your phone.

Activities like watching videos and using navigation apps tend to drain your battery faster than usual, as do certain software and apps. Older phones also generally have shorter battery life.

With individual pixels that are able to be turned completely off, an OLED display is able to produce perfect black levels for an infinite contrast ratio.

The Fairphone 5, for example, had a mediocre camera and so-so performance. I've now been using The Fairphone (Gen. 6) for two weeks, and I don't feel like the phone is seve
