This Pixel 9 Pro Is So Clean, It Feels Like the iPhone of Androids

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-17 04:39:00

CNET's key takeaways After months of using Google's Pixel 9 Pro, I like its solid overall performance and quirky new AI skills. The element that stands out most is how easy it is to use. While Android users swear by them, a lot of other people consider Android phones to feel overly complex. The user interface isn't quite as easy to adjust as Apple's offering. And while it may sound unreasonable, Samsung's Galaxy S25 range, for example, has deep menu settings that let you tweak nearly every as

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel Weather app is coming to Wear OS. Pixel Weather on Wear OS has a similar layout to the Weather app, but introduces Material 3 Expressive design. The app is expected to arrive with the Pixel Watch 4, but screenshots are already showing up on the Play Store. Back in 2022, Google gave Wear OS 3 a standalone weather app simply called Weather.

If I’m honest, Google made me a little nervous when it introduced the Pixel 10 series. Not because I thought it was about to ruin the things I love about its flagships, but because it seemed like Google was starting to run out of ideas for clever software features. Everything it hung its hat on, from Magic Cue to the Daily Hub, seemed like a careful copy of someone else’s idea, and it took some of the wind out of my sails. I should have known better.

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 FE ‘Fan Edition’ Is a Cut-Down S25+ For $350 Less

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2025-11-19 09:30:42

You already know what to expect when you see the letter FE following a Samsung product name. Short for “Fan Edition,” FE devices are a Frankenstein of components packaged together and sold for less. In the case of the Galaxy S25 FE announced at IFA 2025, the $650 Android phone has the same size 6.7-inch display as the $1,000 Galaxy S25+, while costing less than the $800 Galaxy S25.

Amazon Finally Confirms Sophie Turner as Lara Croft in ‘Tomb Raider’ Series

In a not-so-surprising announcement, Amazon MGM Studios has named the star of its long-gestating Tomb Raider series: Sophie Turner. The lack of shock is because Turner was known to be “nearly set” to sign on as Lara Croft, according to reports from November of last year. Those same reports noted that Turner had been chosen over the other contender, Bohemian Rhapsody‘s Lucy Boynton, but that the deal wasn’t yet official.
