Survey says more than half of Pixel 9 owners aren’t always happy with their camera

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-23 15:00:26

Over the weekend, I published an article discussing my frustration with my Pixel 9 Pro’s cameras, especially in darker and warmer environments . I showcased several examples, from the least noticeable to the most glaring, where the photo that I see in the viewfinder on my phone and the final image I get after processing are so different that it feels jarring to witness that transformation. My conclusion was that the Pixel camera seems to be working extra hard to fake a white balance that isn’t

AI Won’t Boost Human Productivity Just Yet, a New Paper From the Federal Reserve Says

gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2025-12-23 16:00:13

Generative AI is not just another tech hype cycle that is bound to die down but is instead a game-changer for human productivity, according to the Federal Reserve. The big caveat, though, is the road to get there will be “inherently slow” and “fraught with risk.” In a recent paper published by the Fed Board of Governors, researchers suggest that the hype around generative AI is probably not a bubble in the long run and that the technology will be a serious macroeconomic force, proving to have r

New iPhone 17 Pro Max Rumors Emerge, and Now 7 Features Might Sway My Upgrade Decision

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-23 15:00:17

We're a little more than a month out from the expected reveal of the new iPhone 17 models, and rumors about what's coming are hard to ignore. So although I try to wait calmly each year, what I'm hearing about the iPhone 17 Pro Max is making me impatient. They're also causing me to second-guess my longstanding stance on buying the standard-size iPhone Pro, since historically the Max model has gotten some new features ahead of the regular model, like the 5x zoom introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro M

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Nothing has defended criticism about the Phone 3’s price by saying that the device isn’t meant for every region. Specifically, a Nothing spokesperson told Bloomberg that the company’s largest market isn’t the core focus for Phone 3 — a statement fans might find problematic. The company also noted it has no plans to lower the price of the device. The Nothing Phone 3 is proving to be divisive by design…literally. Its offbeat camera layout, new Glyph Mat
