The first public beta of Android 16 came out in January 2025, then the stable version started rolling out to Pixel phones in June. Other manufacturers released OS updates for their phones too, some faster than others and it varied from model to model too (flagships got priority). It’s almost time to go up to the next version – Google has officially confirmed that the first Android 17 beta will be out soon. But let’s rewind a bit – did your phone get Android 16? We’re asking because Google shared an Android version distribution chart a couple of weeks ago…

Much has changed for Jenny Wang, the founder who’s bringing “Clueless” fashion tech to life.  Last year, her company, Alta, raised $11 million in a round led by Menlo Ventures to let users create digital closets and try on their clothes with their own virtual avatars. It’s a tech once seen only in movies, most notably in “Clueless,” where Cher styles and plans her outfits using computer technology. Alta is similar to that, allowing users to plan and style outfits using the latest AI innovations. A slew of big names participated in Atla’s round last year, including models Jasmine Tookes…

Last week, we asked your opinion on two mid-range and two entry-level Motorola phones. We have the results from the poll in front of us now and let’s just say that some have more potential than others. Starting with the most promising model of the four, the Motorola Moto G77 was knocked for its Dimensity 6400 chipset – the 6000-series chips are better-suited for entry-level phones. The €300/£250 price range is home to much more powerful chips than this. The 108MP camera is the standout feature on the Moto G77 and such a high resolution sensor is indeed fairly rare…

Elon Musk is “actively” working to make xAI’s Grok chatbot “more unhinged,” according to a former employee who spoke to The Verge about recent departures from Musk’s AI company. This week, following the announcement that Musk’s SpaceX is acquiring xAI (which previously acquired his social media company X), at least 11 engineers and two co-founders said they’re leaving the company. Some said they’re departing to start something new, and Musk himself suggested this is part of an effort to organize xAI more effectively. But two sources who left the company (at least one of them before the current wave) reportedly…

Most drone comparisons start with specs. Here’s a better test.Imagine you are already on the trip.Which drone do you actually have with you?That is why this comparison matters. Because the best drone is not the one with the prettiest spec sheet. It is the one you fly often, trust in tight spots, and feel confident launching even when the conditions are not perfect.DJI Mini 4 Pro and Autel EVO Lite+ are both excellent. But they are built around two completely different definitions of better.Mini 4 Pro is the low friction choice. Small, travel friendly, and designed to make flying feel…

Samsung is reportedly working on a wide Galaxy Z Fold, and last year, some speculative renders showed us what this foldable smartphone could look like. However, thanks to One UI 9, we are now getting our best look yet at the wide Galaxy Z Fold. One UI 9 test builds for Samsung’s unannounced Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8 recently popped up, and those included a couple of animations, giving us our first sort of official look at the wide Galaxy Z Fold. These animations don’t reveal much, but their presence in the One UI 9 builds confirms that…

The Department of Homeland Security has been increasing pressure on tech companies to identify the owners of social media accounts that criticize Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to The New York Times. This echoes other recent reporting, with Bloomberg pointing to five cases in which Homeland Security sought to identify the owners of anonymous Instagram accounts, with the department withdrawing its subpoenas after the owners sued. And a Washington Post story described Homeland Security’s growing use of administrative subpoenas — which do not require the approval of a judge — to target Americans. Now the NYT says a practice…

This week we found some huge discounts on foldable phones that go up to $500 off. Don’t worry, though, there are plenty of bar phones to go around if you are not a fan of foldables. The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is $300 off at the moment, which makes it cheaper than the Samsung foldable at equal storage levels. The Pixel is down on performance (Tensor G5 vs. Snapdragon 8 Elite), but it does have more RAM than most Z Fold7 configurations (only the 1TB model has 16GB of RAM). The main 48MP camera on the Pixel 10 Pro…
