Samsung’s 60W Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrade is exciting, but I have concerns

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-23 17:00:28

As a proponent of fast charging convenience, the report that Samsung will increase the power of next year’s Galaxy S26 Ultra to 60W is music to my ears. The current 45W power level is already in a sweet spot, taking just under an hour to fully charge the phone. Still, that extra boost will undoubtedly come in handy when you need to bring the phone back from the brink quickly. More juice in fewer minutes is always welcome when you’re in a hurry. And yet, I feel a sting of hesitation — a faster-

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

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-24 03:00:26

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

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.
