Android 16 QPR2 may let you flip your Pixel’s navigation bar like on Samsung phones

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-19 00:27:58

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is adding a long-awaited option to Pixel phones that lets users reverse the order of the three-button navigation bar. This feature allows users to switch to the “Recents, Home, Back” layout, which is the default on Samsung Galaxy phones. We discovered evidence for the new setting in Android 16 QPR2 Beta 2, but the setting isn’t live yet. For years, Samsung phones have defaulted to a three-button navigation layout where the back button is on the

Android 16 now makes a stronger Material 3 Expressive first impression with latest QPR beta

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-19 07:12:07

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 QPR2 Beta 2 adds a new Material 3 Expressive look to the Setup Wizard. The redesigned Setup Wizard includes thicker buttons and a cleaner card-like UI on certain screens. Most users are likely to miss the changes as the Setup Wizard only appears on new or wiped devices, but a refresh was much needed to make a strong first impression. Google recently rolled out Android 16 QPR2 Beta 2 for supported Pixel phones, packing in many key changes,

Oakley Meta Vanguard are the smart glasses athletes might actually want

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-19 16:15:11

When Meta announced its first pair of Oakley-branded sunglasses, the HSTN frames, earlier this year, it called them "performance AI" glasses even though they only came with modest upgrades compared with Meta's Ray-Ban lineup. But the new Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses, which were just unveiled at Connect, are much more clearly aimed at serious athletes and they have the features to back it up. The $499 sunglasses feature Oakley's familiar wraparound frames and shiny (swappable) lenses. They are t

Nothing’s New Wireless Earbuds Have a ‘Talk’ Button, and I Need to Know What That Means

Buttons are in right now—at least if you’re a designer at Nothing, they are. On its Headphone 1 (the first pair of Nothing-made over-ear headphones), there are all sorts of doodads. A paddle for track selection; a tic-tac-shaped wheel/button for volume and ANC; a pairing button (okay, this one is boring, but still, it’s a button). Even on its recently released Phone 3, there’s a button on the back of the phone for doing really useful stuff with its “Glyph Matrix,” like… playing spin the bottle.

Apple launches new TechWoven material for iPhone 17 cases

‘Kirby Air Riders’ on Switch 2 Makes a Better Case for the GameCube Than Nintendo Ever Did
