5 reasons I won’t spend more than $500 on my next phone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-20 00:00:21

Joe Maring / Android Authority The phones we all like to talk about the most are incredibly expensive. The base Galaxy S25 starts at $800, while the Ultra launched at $1,300. The Pixel 9 goes for $800 as well, and you’ll need at least $1,100 for the XL model. That’s a lot of money. And don’t even get me started on foldables. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold goes for $1,800, while the latest Galaxy Z Fold 7 costs even more at $2,000. I love technology, especially phones, but I’m not paying that much for m

YouTube Music is finally syncing your playback progress across devices

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube Music tracks listening history across devices, but so far hasn’t offered a way to resume playback directly. With YouTube Music version 8.26.51, we’re now seeing the app sync playback progress across devices. Listeners are able to continue a playlist where they left off by tapping “Resume.” It’s a fair question: How many of us are big YouTube Music fans, and how many use it because we want YouTube Premium, signed up before Premium Lite was an

I ditched my $1,000 Android phone for Google’s $500 one, and I barely noticed a difference

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-20 00:30:24

Joe Maring / Android Authority In the world of writing about Android phones on the internet, it’s very easy to focus solely on the big flagships — the Google Pixel 9 Pros, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultras, and OnePlus 13s of the world. Those are the phones with the best and flashiest specs, and they’re often the most fun to talk about. But equally important, if not more so, are more affordable handsets. Expensive flagships may be exciting, but they aren’t the phones that everyone is buying. After us

Bored with your phone’s lock screen? This brand lets you replace it with an eye-tracking 3D game

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR Huawei’s flagship Pura 80 Ultra features 3D interactive lock screens that move in sync with the phone’s physical movement. The interactive lock screens also function as games, utilizing hand and eye-tracking features to manipulate objects. While the hand and eye-tracking gestures likely utilize the phone’s front camera, there is no usage indicator, which raises privacy concerns.

Nothing Phone 3 review: Nothing ventured, nothing gained

The last few years have seen several smartphone makers pull back or totally abandon their mobile efforts. UK-based Nothing Technologies, however, is still trying to carve out a niche in the increasingly competitive smartphone market. Its tools have been quirky designs and glowing lights, along with a focus on markets outside the US. With the Nothing Phone 3, the company has brought its "first flagship" phone stateside.

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority TL;DR ChatGPT is working on an Image Styles feature that would add a pre-defined instruction set to your prompt to achieve a specific image style in your results. Users would be able to select from aesthetic styles such as “Anime,” “Cyberpunk,” “Coloring Book,” and more. These styles can be added as instructions for converting existing images or generating new ones. ChatGPT’s image generation capabilities are pretty nifty, and it’s largely credited for spa

The Pigeon River Is Perched, Which Is Geologically Bad News (2020)

news.ycombinator.com Philip Prince 2026-01-15 20:31:27

A reader of the Nantahala Gorge post asked a very relevant question: Is there a stream capture in the Appalachians that is going to happen soon? While “soon” can be a very relative term in geology, there is most definitely a good answer to the question. At Canton, North Carolina, the headwaters of Hominy Creek, a French Broad River tributary, are VERY close to capturing the Pigeon River. In human terms, this is still probably a long way off, but it is most certainly geologically “imminent.” The
