With the ever-increasing demand for book-style foldables, Google’s latest foldable brings another option into the fold. Despite its mouthful of a name, the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold brings massive changes over what seemed like an outdated design last year.

It’s been 25 minutes and we’re finally seeing the phones.

Google has a post up on its security blog that is half advertisement and half PSA-style announcement for Android users: go into your settings and turn off the "Allow 2G" toggle. This option, added in Android 12 back in 2021, does exactly what it sounds like: it turns off support for 2G cellular networking. Why would you want to do that? Because attackers are using the insecure 2G protocol to spoof phone numbers and send SMS spam.

Google rolls out Pixel 9 phones earlier than usual as AI race with Apple heats up

Google has historically announced its new Android hardware in October, even if it didn't have much new to show. For instance, in 2020 it released the solitary Pixel 5, a basic mid-range phone—but 2024 is the polar opposite. Google has moved up its Pixel unveiling, and the company has a cornucopia of new hardware announcements. There are not one, not two, not three, but four new Pixel phones coming, plus earbuds and a smartwatch. It's a good time to be a Pixel fan.

Thanks to its OLED display (for the price), camera quality, and four major software updates, the Samsung Galaxy A25 5G is one of the best budget Android phones. Although it comes with expandable storage, the built-in space remains at 128GB. The feature-rich One UI and preinstalled apps consume a large chunk of it. While some default apps like Samsung Health, Smart Switch, Smart Things, Samsung Wallet, social media apps from Meta, and productivity solutions from Microsoft are useful and convenient, you can do away with other One UI apps to trim bloatware and free up space.

In some cases, phones sold in other regions include country-specific apps you definitely don’t need.

However, there are some apps that you cannot remove from your phone as a normal user — you will need elevated privileges.
