Android 16 review: It’s actually a big update, and I don’t want to hear otherwise

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-18 03:00:53

Today is the big day: Google just released Android 16 to the public. The update is rolling out now to the Pixel 6 and later, and the update’s source code is now available to developers on the Android Open Source Project. While Android 16 is classified as a major update, it certainly doesn’t look or feel like one on the surface. That’s because this initial release lacks many of the marquee features Google announced last month, such as the Material 3 Expressive redesign and the new Desktop Mode e

Android 16 offers an early taste of Live Updates, but its best features will have to wait

TL;DR Live Updates introduce a new way for Android to let apps communicate ongoing processes. With today’s release of Android 16, we start to see support for apps featuring progress-centric notifications. Full Live Updates support, where these notifications are actually handled differently by the system, will not arrive until later this year. Google just released Android 16 stable, and while there’s a lot going on there, there’s also a fair amount that we’re not getting just yet. Google’s del

AOSP isn’t dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developers

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-19 16:11:57

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google has made it harder to build custom Android ROMs for Pixel phones by omitting their device trees and driver binaries from the latest AOSP release. The company says this is because it’s shifting its AOSP reference target from Pixel hardware to a virtual device called “Cuttlefish” to be more neutral. While Google insists AOSP isn’t going away, developers must now reverse-engineer changes, making the process for supporting Pixel devices more difficu

wired.com Kate Knibbs 2025-09-19 02:52:23

There are already dozens of copyright lawsuits against AI companies winding through the US court system—including a class action lawsuit visual artists brought against Midjourney in 2023—but this is the first time major Hollywood studios have jumped into the fray.

The Real Nvidia GPU Lineup: GeForce RTX 5060 is Actually a Mediocre 5050

techspot.com Tim Schiesser 2025-09-18 05:12:00

Nvidia's latest generation of graphics cards might look familiar on the surface, but dig into the specs and a different story emerges. Earlier this year, we were discussing how the GeForce RTX 5080 is actually closer to an RTX 5070 based on its hardware configuration. Since then, Nvidia has released more graphics cards, and the shrinkflation problem continues. The underwhelming RTX 5060 is effectively an RTX 5050, we're going to show you the data to back that up – and even then, it is arguably
