With Android 16 Beta 2, Google has added a “Switch users” homescreen widget for Pixel devices.

The Google Wallet app can now be opened with a new shortcut in Android 16 Beta 2. The new method means the Quick Settings button is no longer the fastest way, though it might come as an unnatural change to ditch the camera shortcut.

Samsung is shaking things up in its plans for future releases, even coming off the heels of a somewhat redundant launch event.

Last year’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold proved to be the most impressive generational upgrade we’ve seen in foldables to date, but it certainly wasn’t the “end” of pushing the envelope. Just a few months later, Oppo is now gearing up to launch the Find N5 as the “world’s thinnest” foldable and, after getting my hands on it, I can’t help but drawn comparisons to the Pixel.
