When the Galaxy S25 was announced at the beginning of the year, one of the headline features was Now Brief, an AI-powered summary of important information you might need throughout your day. That information can include weather, fitness, sleep scores, calendar events,...

Credit: Joe Maring / Android Authority I love my Pixel, but it’s missing a few important features I mentioned in my post that was published yesterday. That got me thinking that I should perhaps switch back to a OnePlus phone, after years of using Pixels. I don’t need...

Don’t let Google know, but I’d be quite lost without YouTube. I use the video platform daily for background noise during the workday and for enjoying my favorite creators’ content in the evenings. The platform doesn’t offer the best user experience, at least not one...

Recently, I’ve been thinking about what my dream phone would include — specifically, which specs, features, and overall design. Let’s start with a massive battery, say 7,500mAh with fast charging to boot. Then, it needs great cameras, such as a 200MP telephoto lens...
