Love your new Galaxy Watch 8? Here’s one setting you need to fix immediately

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-31 17:00:26

Joe Maring / Android Authority Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 series officially hit store shelves last Friday, and from what we’ve seen so far, Samsung’s newest wearables are likely among the best Wear OS watches you can buy this year. I’ve been wearing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for the last few days, and while I’m nowhere near ready to review it, my first impressions have been positive. I’ve long been a fan of Samsung smartwatches, particularly those with rotating bezels. As such, going ba

Samsung DeX in One UI 8 has a hidden ‘Immersive’ mode for true full screen

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-01 03:33:17

TL;DR Samsung’s new DeX in One UI 8 has a hidden “Immersive” mode that enables a true full screen experience, hiding the app header and taskbar. To enable it, you must first maximize an app, then long-press the same maximize button to reveal a hidden menu with the “Immersive” option. This unintuitive method initially led users to believe the full screen feature was removed. Samsung made some big changes to DeX in its latest One UI 8 release. The company killed its classic DeX mode in favor of

The Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 Could Be the Best Laptop to Replace Your Desktop Yet

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2026-01-01 03:15:07

2025 The first thing you notice about the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 is the AniMe lights. The pixelated LEDs (also found on devices like the ROG Phone 9), flowing in a rhythm from a back strip like a scar streaked dashingly across a warrior’s eye, let you know what you’re in for before you even crack open the lid. The Strix Scar 18 is a fine gaming laptop with plenty of enticing qualities and one major flaw. But what makes it so appealing isn’t the dancing lights that are only attractive to moths o

Did someone just get caught using the iPhone 17 Pro in the wild?

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-12-31 09:46:40

Here’s one to take with a grain of salt: earlier today, user Fox Puppy on X published a couple of photos that supposedly show someone filming an iPhone 17 Pro on the street, using an iPhone 16 Pro that, for some reason, has its Apple logo covered. ‘This looks legit’ While there’s no way to verify the claims, Fox Puppy says that one of the people accompanying the man filming “was security and trying to go in front of the iPhone to hide it.” Here’s the original post: I just spotted a test deve

“The fun of an Avengers movie is introducing people to each other and seeing how very different personalities get along,” says Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios. “In the case of a movie that involves the threat of worlds literally colliding, it’s fun to see them visit each other’s homes.” Feige was speaking to the official Marvel website about The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is now in theaters.

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's Galaxy smartphones are some of the best Android phones available today, thanks to their responsive and feature-rich software.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is confirmed to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, based on evidence found in the device’s firmware. This does not rule out the existence of an S26 Ultra powered by an Exynos 2600 or a Samsung-made Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, despite lean chances of any of that happening.

Nvidia Geforce RTX 5060 Review: Not Quite There

This should've been Nvidia’s victory lap after a fairly successful round of high-end GPUs. The RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 were expensive and hard to find at launch, but the performance was impressive for those who could get their hands on one. Most people spend less than $500 on a graphics card, and they've been waiting patiently for their turn to go shopping. Unfortunately, the RTX 5060 falls short of its similarly priced AMD counterpart, and the gap gets even worse when any pressure is applied. Si

5 reasons why Firefox is still my favorite browser - and deserves more respect

Finally, there's something to be said for supporting the underdog. In the Windows desktop browser arena, Chrome is still the top dog by far (though some of the upcoming AI-based browsers may start nipping at its heels). Edge is in second place. That puts Firefox in third. But I think the browser should be defined by much more than its third-place status.
