Amazon Is Going All In, The Galaxy S25 Ultra Is Nearly Twice as Cheap as on Samsung’s Official Site

Apple may be the go-to brand on Prime Day with Amazon discounting everything (except the iPhone 16) but in smartphones, there’s yet another giant worth noting—Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Released back in January, the S25 Ultra is the definition of Android top-shelf and until today, it’s hung tough at its MSRP on Samsung’s home page. But on Prime Day, Amazon is coming huge for Prime members, offering a massive $350 instant discount on this premium device: That brings the price down to just $949 fo

I Tried the First Full-Scale, AI-Powered Gym. It's Great, but Humans Are Still Required.

When you walk into Los Angeles's newly opened Fred Fitness, you wouldn't think, "This place runs on AI." The space is open and welcoming, with warm wood beams, plant life scattered throughout, a comfy couch, window seating and even a community table where members can work between workouts. But as you venture further into the space, that's when you see it's filled with AI-powered machines and fitness tech designed to maximize your fitness journey. Even on the window seats that look out onto the

How scientists are trying to use AI to unlock the human mind

Compared with conventional psychological models, which use simple math equations, Centaur did a far better job of predicting behavior. Accurate predictions of how humans respond in psychology experiments are valuable in and of themselves: For example, scientists could use Centaur to pilot their experiments on a computer before recruiting, and paying, human participants. In their paper, however, the researchers propose that Centaur could be more than just a prediction machine. By interrogating th

OnePlus announces Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 with specs tuned to global markets

I’ve reviewed smartphones for 10 years. These are the 5 Android phones I would buy on Prime Day

Joe Maring / Android Authority Amazon Prime Day is officially upon us, and just like every year, that means there’s a mountain of deals to sift through, including seemingly endless discounts on Android phones. Some of them are great, others are just fine, and there are some you should avoid altogether. As you might imagine, this can make finding the best Android phone deals a pain in the butt. And that’s where I come in. I’ve been reviewing and testing smartphones for over 10 years, and I’ve

Here’s what I like and dislike about Android’s new Expressive design

Joe Maring / Android Authority If you’ve installed the stable version of Android 16 on your Pixel, you might be disappointed to find that the big visual refresh Google announced on May 13 is conspicuous by its absence. An unfortunate consequence of the new platform release schedule is that some of the more notable new Android 16 features won’t be arriving until the Android 16 QPR1 update in early September. That means that even though there’s plenty of goodness in the initial stable release — l

iPhone 17 Air to get a ‘barely blue’ color option, suggests leaker

A leaker with a mixed track record has suggested that the “main” color option for the upcoming iPhone 17 Air will be a “very light” blue. They go on to say that the color will be so faint that it will simply appear to be white in some lights. This seems reminiscent of “barely blue” colors we’ve seen from Apple before … Fixed focus digital posted on Weibo: Blue is probably the main color of iPhone 17 Air this time. It is different from all the blue colors released by Apple in the past. The blu

Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Going After ‘Chemtrails’ With New Bill to Ban Weather Modification

House Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is the latest lawmaker to seemingly go after the fictional threat of chemtrails. Over the weekend, Greene stated she will soon introduce a federal bill aimed at banning substances from being injected into the atmosphere. Greene announced the proposed bill in an X post published Saturday. The legislation would reportedly bar chemicals from being released into the air for the “express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight

Don't Buy a New iPhone Right Now. Here's Why You Should Wait

If you're ready to upgrade your iPhone, you might want to wait just a bit longer. Apple tends to unveil its new phones in September, as it did last year with the iPhone 16 lineup.

The OnePlus Nord 5's Marble Design Is My Favorite Thing About This Phone

It's a little shallow that my favorite thing about the OnePlus Nord 5 -- and its cheaper sibling the Nord CE5 -- is the design on the back of the phone. But in a world where most budget-focused phones are identical gray slabs, it's refreshing to see something a bit different. The back of the Nord 5 has an unusual design that looks like marble. I don't know how OnePlus has done it, but the way that the material catches the light makes it look deeply three dimensional. Running your finger across

A Samsung Tri-Fold Phone Could Be Coming, According to a Leak

While Samsung has been showing off mobile display concepts with three screens at trade events like CES for several years, it might finally be bringing one to market if a leaked UI animation is any indicator. An animated image from a software build of One UI 8 appears to show what some are dubbing a "Galaxy G Fold" device with three display panels, as reported by Android Authority last week. The screens would be capable of displaying different information or working in unison as one large displa

Wait, Are We Really Not Supposed to Drink Coffee in the Summer?

As heat waves roll through large parts of the country, staying cool and hydrated is more important than ever. That's why a recent post from the National Weather Service in Las Vegas made headlines when it warned residents across parts of Nevada, Arizona and California to avoid caffeine during extreme heat. The concern? Caffeine may speed up dehydration, which increases your risk for heat exhaustion or even heat stroke. The advisory quickly took off online, with some headlines claiming that coffe

‘Yearners’ Are Sick of Playing It Cool on Dating Apps

On TikTok, Gyasi Alexander likes to hold “yap sessions” about all sorts of vulnerable topics—self-image issues, anxiety, why you shouldn’t romanticize forgiveness. He started posting videos like that last summer, following the end of an 11-year relationship, after a group of friends encouraged him to use the platform as an outlet to talk about his healing process. Lately, though, the 28-year-old retail sales worker who lives in Providence, Rhode Island, has decided to fully embrace, and talk abo

5 Best Prime Day Fitness Tracker Deals and Smart Ring Sales (2025)
