Robert Triggs / Android Authority If there’s one thing I must have in my smartphone camera, it is a robust long-distance zoom that brings me closer to the action. Today’s best Android phones offer a wide range of zoom options, with different zoom levels, lens apertures, and sensor sizes contributing to some rather different capabilities. Just because it has a 5x periscope camera doesn’t mean they’re all the same. To test what this means for actual photos, I’ve grabbed the Pixel 9 Pro, Galaxy S

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Strings found in MIUI firmware suggest Xiaomi is developing a ‘Chip performance dashboard’ feature. This dashboard would allow users to adjust CPU and GPU frequencies and voltages within safe parameters. Changes would require a reboot and will undergo system checks to ensure that the phone works well enough. Most Android flagships these days come with overkill processors, and frankly, most of us don’t need that much processing power for our everyday ta

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET The first time I used an anti-reflective display on a personal device was last year when I reviewed the Galaxy S24 Ultra. I was amazed by the quality-of-life improvements it brought to my daily use -- and I wanted to see it on more devices. Therefore, I wasn't too pleased when Apple priced its nano-texture iPad Pro out of budget by limiting it to the 1TB variant. I wanted a flagship iPad with an anti-reflective screen, but that price made the feature inaccessible. Finally,
