Google is finally pushing Android 15 to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), marking a crucial milestone when companies begin prepping their respective software experiences for their smartphones and developers start fine-tuning their apps. As far as a public release, the stable public build of Android 15 will be released for compatible Pixel phones in the coming weeks.

Android 15 has reached a turning point

Growing up. It’s something we all do, and devices do too. While there’s been very little innovation in mainstream smartphones lately, foldable phones have been maturing over the last few years and finally seem to be coming into their own. It’s like they’re in the young adult phase of their lives, while the conventional “candybar” handset has largely been figured out. At least, on the outside, anyway.

"That’s why I left when I saw a Cybertruck charging before me". Whether you like it or not, the Tesla Cybertruck is starting to appear more frequently throughout the U.S. as production of the electric car continues. A lot of Tesla owners who, for various reasons, can't charge their cars at home will rely on nearby Superchargers to keep their vehicles running. However, it's important to be cautious when charging next to a Cybertruck, as one Tesla owner has cautioned.

A year ago, I never expected to write this. Samsung had just launched the Galaxy Z Fold 5 with iterative changes over the Z Fold 4, and Google’s first attempt at a folding phone left a lot to be desired. Google had phenomenal software features like Call Screen and Live Transcribe, but Samsung had much better hardware, the S-Pen, and incredible productivity tools.

I love the Galaxy Z Fold 6, but the Pixel 9 Pro Fold may change that

Rumor has it that the likely Pixel 9a will come rocking the same Tensor G4 as its bigger, badder siblings. Assuming that much is true, we’re looking at some decent power under the hood and some very competent AI abilities to boot. That all sounds great, and if my time with the latest, greatest from Google is any measure, I’d say the Pixel 9a will be a very solid performer all around.

 Once the stuff of science-fiction, the best foldable phones give you all the useful features of a giant screen, in a device that folds down into a handy, more pocket-friendly size.Because they’re more complex than regular phones, and because you’re essentially getting two devices in one, foldables tend to cost considerably more than your average mobile. Samsung’s best folding phone, the Galaxy Z fold 6, starts at £1,799, for example. As the tech becomes cheaper to manufacture, however, we’re beginning to see some excellent foldable phones for less than £1,000, such as the Motorola razr 50 ultra.There are different...

The Pixel 9 is the kind of device you get after a few generations of incremental progress. One minor update after another doesn’t look like much year-over-year. A faster fingerprint sensor? Uniform bezels? Not the stuff of headlines. But eventually, the little stuff adds up to something significant. That’s the feeling I get holding the Pixel 9, and I like it a lot.

Google Pixel 9 review: the phone that Android needs

Google Assistant on your Android device lets you questions, launch apps, and perform different tasks. But there's another tool you might find more useful: Google Gemini. Google's AI can help you gain a deeper understanding of a topic through back-and-forth conversations or summaries in the form of a list, table, or chart. It can also help generate content, correct grammar, and translate other languages. You can ask Gemini to search Gmail, set an alarm or timer, make a phone call, turn off the lights, or take and analyze a photo.

One exciting reveal from the Made by Google 2024 event was the introduction of Gemini Live, Google's natural language AI assistant. It promises to go beyond the average chatbot with a range of features. The company claims Gemini Live is more than an amped-up version of Google Assistant, allowing us to carry on conversations similar to how we interact, as opposed to the question-and-answer style of the current assistant.

The iPhone 16 is (hopefully) only a month or so away, but it feels like we’re getting a new leak with every day that goes by. Many of those come courtesy of Ice Universe, a well-known leaker with a reliable track record. They now say that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have the thinnest bezels of any iPhone ever made.

Over the years, I have used multiple devices from Samsung (Galaxy S23 Ultra), Google (Pixel 6), OnePlus (OnePlus 11) and Apple (iPhone 14 Pro). While I appreciate the Pixel UI's smoothness, OnePlus' blazing-fast charging speeds, and iPhone's polished apps, my primary SIM keeps returning to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
