With CapCut moving certain functions behind a paywall in recent months, Edits, the free video editor from Instagram, is now officially available on Android.

It appears that turning Android into a desktop operating system is Google’s next big consumer initiative. To put it bluntly, I think this effort fails if all they’re doing is making a one-to-one Windows, Mac, or ChromeOS competitor.

Motorola is expected to announce the Razr 60 and Razr 60 Ultra in a couple of days. Prior to that, new leaked promo materials give a high-quality look at the more affordable of the two phones.

One UI 7 has done nothing but take the spotlight over the last few months with multiple delays, and the Galaxy Watch hasn’t seen much action in that time. A new report indicates that Samsung’s One UI 7 Watch, based on Wear OS 6, for the Galaxy Watch is finally beginning to show signs of life.

As has become a yearly tradition, Samsung is now offering its last-gen flagship phones, the Galaxy S24 series, as a “Certified Re-Newed” device with prices starting at $620.

As Google sits in the hot seat for paying companies to utilize its products in place of any competition, court testimony reveals that Google did the same thing with Gemini. Samsung was reportedly paid a lot of money to push Gemini as a preinstalled app in One UI.
