New leak suggests the iPhone Fold could take inspiration from the Pixel Fold

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-01 07:22:48

Oliver Cragg / Android Authority TL;DR Apple’s upcoming book-style foldable phone will apparently have an outer screen that’s “shorter and fatter” than the OPPO Find N. It’s also believed that the inner screen “unfolds like an iPad.” There could be a big difference in size between the inner and outer screens compared to other foldables. Apple has been working on foldable phones for several years now, but we recently heard purported details about a book-style Apple foldable. Now, it looks lik

T-Mobile users beware: New scam tricks customers into returning ‘free’ phones to fraudsters

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR It looks like scammers are posing as T-Mobile reps, offering “free phones” to loyal customers and tricking them into placing real phone orders. Victims receive a phone, and then the scammer contacts them claiming the wrong model was sent. The victim is asked to return the phone, which ends up in the hands of the scammer, leaving the victim with an unpaid installment balance. T-Mobile users, beware.

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 is implementing support for true HDR screenshots, enabling you to take screenshots of HDR content. This capability is live in Android 16 Beta 2 and builds upon the previous work that Google did to support HDR in Android screenshots. However, HDR screenshots captured by Android aren’t easy to view on other devices. The reason most people take a screenshot on Android is to share what they see with other people, and Android can handle that sor

Apple will finally bring a big iPhone 16 exclusive feature to an older iPhone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-01 09:15:38

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Visual Intelligence is a significant highlight feature of Apple Intelligence, but it can only be launched with the new Camera Control button on the iPhone 16 series. The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max supported Apple Intelligence but not Visual Intelligence, as there was no way to launch it. In a future software update, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max will be able to launch Visual Intelligence through the Control Center and even assign it to the Action Button

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Last year, I wrote a controversial article about my opinion on the Gmail Android app, backed up by everything I had discovered that the Gmail app can’t do that other Android email apps can. While I was writing that Gmail opinion article, I was bouncing between a few different alternative apps, including my usual go-to, Blue Mail, and a terrific open-source app called FairEmail.

Did Samsung just cancel the fancy 3-in-1 charger it showed off at Unpacked?

TL;DR Samsung has pulled the product page for its recently announced three-in-one wireless charger. This suggests that the Galaxy maker may have canceled the accessory, but we’ve asked the company for more information. Samsung quietly announced a new three-in-one wireless charger alongside the Galaxy S25 phones last month. The company didn’t offer many details at the time, but it now looks like this product has vanished. SammyGuru noticed that Samsung recently pulled the official product page

The update will reduce battery capacity, and affected users can claim $50, much like they could with the Pixel 4a. Failure to update may result in a factory reset and data loss.

In fact, many modern high-end phones have ultrasonic in-display sensors with fast, accurate unlocking and the ability to scan wet fingers. However, I recently went back to the Samsung Galaxy S8 while working on a different article, and I realized that I really missed fingerprint scanner gestures on old smartphones.

TL;DR Multiple Galaxy S24 Ultra users are reporting ripped pockets due to the phone’s sharp corners. A phone case can help, but it adds bulk to the already large device. Samsung has softened the corners on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, fixing the design flaw on the new phone. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is considered one of the top Android flagships of its time.

Sony’s next Xperia flagship could go all out with not one, not two, but three Exmor T sensors

Alex Walker-Todd / Android Authority TL;DR A rumor claims the Xperia 1 VII will use Exmor T sensors for all three rear cameras. Last year’s model only had an Exmor T sensor for the main camera. The Exmor T sensors could reduce noise in low-light shots and improve dynamic range. Last year’s Xperia 1 VI did little to improve the rear camera situation from the previous year. The hardware was largely identical to the Xperia V, but with some quality-of-life improvements. But a new rumor suggests

If you’re coming from an iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone XS, Apple’s newest iPhone may look like a downgrade when it comes to the camera. Fortunately, there’s more than meets the eye in Apple’s latest iPhone camera. Way back in 2016, Apple released the iPhone 7 Plus. This was the first model to include two rear-facing cameras.
