Your Android phone is about to get an AI-powered anti-theft upgrade that can keep your personal information safe. In May of this year, Google teased a new Theft Detection Lock tool for Android phones. Expected to debut with Android 15, the feature would sense a device's motion -- such as someone snatching a phone and then running, biking, or driving away -- and immediately lock the screen, Google said.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to feature significant design changes, according to leaks from a well-known tipster on X. The device is expected to have a revamped screen-to-body ratio, with a narrower aspect ratio, slimmer bezels, and more rounded corners for improved comfort. The renders circulating online show a sleeker design that aims to address the criticisms of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which had a horizontal screen-to-body ratio that contributed to an uncomfortable hand feel.

Apps Are Slow (Or Outright Don't Work) Even the best Android device will eventually get old. My present smartphone is an LG K41S. It was good when it was new, but now at the four-year mark since its release, the performance issues are non-stop. Upgrading is what makes the most sense. If your Android device is getting on, here are the issues to look out for.

My Android Phone Is 4 Years Old: Here Are the Signs It’s Getting Too Much

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 Sounds Urgent Warning To Kill This Setting On Your Android Phone
