The Nothing Phone 3 is a fun, flawed, but overall worthy semi-flagship

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-24 04:51:59

Nothing Phone 3 The Nothing Phone 3 tries to be an Android flagship while skipping out on just a few key areas like the chipset and top-end materials. But, with new perks like faster wired charging, improved cameras, and official US carrier support, as well as that signature hardware and software design flair, this is the easiest Nothing Phone to recommend to date. What even is a flagship Android phone these days? Sometimes, I think I know. Other times, I have to shrug and wonder. And yet, not

Pixel 9 Pro Fold one year later: How Google caught up to Samsung in just two generations

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-24 04:00:08

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold was one of my favorite gadgets of 2024 to the point where it even landed on our list of the biggest winners of the year. Not only was it a worthy alternative to Samsung's long-running Galaxy Z Fold phones, its straightforward design once again proved that keeping things simple is often the wisest way to go. It turns out, the best approach to foldable phone design is to make something that's the same size and shape as a regular handset, but just happens to have a big flexible

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Photos is letting some users clean up their cloud storage with a Tinder-style interface. Users can swipe left to delete large files and blurry photos or swipe right to keep them. This seems to be a limited release for now, and there’s seemingly no way to activate it.
