After a previous partnership announcement, Google has revealed new details on its Google Photos app for Samsung TVs, which is available on the latest models.

Google’s Quick Share has been an important part of Android for a few years now, but it still has a few hidden tricks, including the ability to trigger sharing by simply tapping the phone you want to share to.

If you’re looking for the most customizable out-of-the-box experience on a smartphone today, it’s tough to go wrong with Samsung. Unlike some of the more locked-down launchers you’ll find on Android — sorry, but I’m looking at you, Pixel — the amount of personal touches you can apply to any Galaxy phone can feel endless, and that’s before you install something like Good Lock. However, with One UI 8.5, it seems like Samsung made the rare move to remove some of this functionality in the name of security, and users aren’t pleased.

If you’ve shopped for anything remotely related to computing over the past six months, you know it’s a pretty bad time to be in the market for tech. With AI-fueled RAM and storage shortages continuing with no end in sight, plenty of brands have either enacted or are considering price hikes on their already-available tech. Starting tomorrow, Samsung might be the latest brand to join in the (not so) fun.

The monthly “Google System Release Notes” primarily detail what’s new in Play services, Play Store, and Play system update across Android phones/tablets, Wear OS, Google/Android TV, Auto, and PC. Some features apply to end users, while others are aimed at developers.

After detailing the “advanced flow” for sideloading earlier this month, Google is opening the Android developer verification process to developers today.

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S11 series launched late last year but, out of the blue, Samsung has just launched a new “Pro Keyboard” for the Ultra model, and it’s expensive.

In a year where Apple has switched things up, and Samsung has barely moved an inch, just how does the iPhone 17 Pro Max stack up against the Galaxy S26 Ultra? Is there something Samsung can learn from Cupertino?

Following Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series, more Galaxy phones are set to add cross-compatibility with Apple’s AirDrop and new findings not only reveal a list of devices, but also a way to enable it early – maybe.

Samsung just released a new app called “Hearapy” to reduce motion sickness. It works by playing specific audio frequencies, quelling travel nausea for up to two hours with a quick session.

Google appears to be working on a new tap-based gesture for Quick Share that utilizes NFC to trigger file sharing, with the new feature having appeared in a leaked build of Samsung’s Android 17 update, One UI 9.

Google finally announced its long-awaited “advanced flow” for enabling sideloading from unverified developers last week, set to roll out later this year to all Android phones. It addressed a lot of the concerns we had with the future of installing third-party APKs, but that’s not to say it delivered every answer under the sun. Thankfully, a new FAQ video is going a long way in filling in some of the gaps, including confirming you won’t need to repeat this process when you get a new phone.

The latest data reveals that, roughly a month into sales, Samsung’s new Galaxy Buds 4 Pro are a massive hit, and that’s likely in part because they’re a product that deserves your attention.

As is the case on the Pixel 10 series, the newly rolling out ability to send files via Apple’s AirDrop on the Galaxy S26 series is quick and easy – “it just works.”

After months in beta on the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung’s One UI 8.5 update is now expanding to a host of other Galaxy devices including foldables, last-gen flagships, mid-rangers, and more.

A few days into the rollout, Samsung is expanding AirDrop support over Quick Share to Galaxy S26 series devices in the US market.

Samsung just announced its new mid-range Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 phones and they’re coming to the US, but with a starting price of $449, the Pixel 10a, or even the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, might be more worthwhile.

Google shared today that Android and Chrome have set “new performance records” for mobile web browsing.

Just a few short days after Samsung confirmed it would bring AirDrop support to the Galaxy S26 series, we’re already seeing the update arrive on devices in regions beyond its initial launch. Unfortunately for US readers, you’ll have to keep waiting a little while longer.

Samsung has another book-style foldable in the works this year, with the “Wide” Galaxy Z Fold model now leaking with its shorter and wider design in tow.

Some Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy users have been running into problems with Android Auto as of late, but fixes are now rolling out, Google says.
