I absolutely love and recommend these 5 Android games to play with one hand

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority Despite hundreds of thousands of games on the Play Store, very few become comforting escapes from the harsh reality. Games that you can play anywhere and without any special skillset, with one motive: feeling relaxed instead of getting all riled up. With this in mind, I have handpicked games that require no prior experience in mobile gaming and can be picked up immediately. They don’t need gaming chops and can be run on most Android phones or tablets. None of t

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 could finally get rid of one of the worst things about foldables

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-19 12:08:07

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 will apparently use the same “laser-drilled display metal plates” as the foldable iPhone. These parts reportedly enable a crease-free screen on Apple’s device, suggesting the Z Fold 8 won’t have a display crease, either. This would be a major step forward for the industry, as all foldable phones to date have a crease. Samsung has just launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which has a dramatically thinner and lighter form factor than p

Daisy Ridley’s Husband Cast in Adaptation of Former Reylo ‘Star Wars’ Fan Fiction

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-19 19:00:27

The behind-the-scenes story of an upcoming romantic comedy could, on its own, be a pretty fascinating movie. Here’s the pitch. A young Star Wars fan writes a piece of Reylo (that’s Rey and Kylo Ren for the non-shippers out there) alternative universe fanfiction. The fan is approached about turning the story into a novel, only, it can’t be specific to Star Wars anymore. So the names change, but the intention and romance stay the same.

I love anti-reflective displays, but an iPhone one is no big deal

A report yesterday suggested that the two iPhone 17 Pro models could get an anti-reflective display, after Apple’s suppliers managed to overcome production difficulties. I do love anti-reflective displays, and still have very fond memories of my all-time favorite Apple one from way back in 2004, but an iPhone one would have only moderate appeal to me … There was a time when all screens were matte.

CarPlay Ultra began rolling out in May to Aston Martin owners in the United States and Canada. What about other automakers? Here’s what we know.

These listings do not include a review section nor allow users to rate the apps. Users are now starting to see this new format for system services roll out widely.

Can Apple Actually Make a Foldable iPhone With a ‘Crease-Free’ Display?
