Machha/Shutterstock There are plenty of reasons to like the Pixel 10, the main ones being its price range and the stripped-down approach to Android it offers compared to some brands like Samsung and Motorola. However, over the past few years, Google has worked to make the Pixel line stand out more from other Android smartphones, and has even followed in Apple’s footsteps to create its own chipset to power the smartphone line. As we move forward into the year and prepare for the Pixel 11 to arrive, many users and…
Will your phone benefit from the upgrade? Adnan Ahmed for Woozad Siri has never been the smartest virtual assistant, but what’s particularly disappointing is how it has refused to evolve despite Apple’s aggressive push for Apple Intelligence. Two major versions of iOS have disappeared without the supercharged Siri Apple originally promised. Apple finally announced an improved version of Siri during its WWDC 2026 keynote, and it looks like the virtual assistant is finally living up to the expectations the company set years ago. We used Siri AI and found it really useful for answering complex queries…
Eko Sasmito/Shutterstock Overcharging your smartphone was once a widespread fear among users. Many thought that charging your smartphone overnight was detrimental. But that’s simply not true anymore, as smartphones have become more durable with built-in protection. Smartphones rely on built-in mechanisms to protect themselves from continuing to charge beyond the cap, which is typically set by the charger as well as the phone’s hardware and software. For example, iPhones have an 80% charge limit found in the Battery and Charging settings. But many other phones, including Android devices, have something…
Framesira/Shutterstock Using Samsung Galaxy Secure Folder, a useful privacy feature on Android phones, is the first step that any business user should take after purchasing a new device from the brand, mainly to protect their privacy on a daily basis. This feature can create an isolated space on the device, protected by a PIN or similar method, where apps, photos, and files remain out of reach of anyone with access to the phone. Thus, it provides users with an extra layer of security. Anything you place in the Samsung Galaxy…
Your Samsung Galaxy phone is already an impressive productivity tool out of the box. This is partly because most of its core features are enabled by default, making them much more accessible to you. For example, you can automatically split your screen into two apps as soon as you set up your device. Multi-control, which allows you to control all your Galaxy devices at the same time with a single keyboard and mouse, is also enabled. Then you have Circle to Search, where you can use what’s on your screen as a search query…
Images Tada/Shutterstock Another week and another bug for Pixel owners to contend with. Unfortunately, this time it seems that the latest bug affecting Pixel users concerns one of the most basic services that smartphones are designed for: phone calls. Specifically, users of Pixel smartphones like the Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 9, Pixel 8, and even the Pixel 6a have started posting online on their devices, seemingly silencing phone calls despite the increased ringtone and volume. Although it has been reported several times, reports about the issue suggest that it is…
The second iOS 27 developer beta apparently hints at a new Apple product, according to code discovered by app designer and developer Sam Henri Gold. The code mentions a product called B790 that can relay “two images from cameras on either side of the user’s head.” Gold speculated that the code could refer to Apple’s smart glasses, but another possibility involves AirPods with cameras, which are apparently further along in development. The AirPods Pro 3 were codenamed B788. Apple is rumored to be working on both “AirPods Ultra” and smart glasses with cameras, and visual intelligence is expected to be…
Rumor has it that development of Apple’s camera-equipped AirPods Pro has been halted, according to the leaker and prototype collector known as “Kosutami.” In a direct message on No further details were provided. This statement is rather surprising, given that Bloomberg reported in May that the camera-equipped AirPods Pro were almost complete and had reached an “advanced” stage of testing, suggesting that a first mass production could be imminent. That said, the same report also notes that Apple could also choose to wait until the AirPods launch if it was unhappy with the quality of the Visual Intelligence features in…
