Framesira/Shutterstock When you talk on a modern smartphone, the screen turns off as soon as you raise the handset to your ear. This feature is intended to prevent accidental taps or interactions with the screen. Smartphones use proximity sensors that measure the distance between objects and the screen to determine whether to turn off the screen. This is a process that many users may take for granted. If you own a Samsung phone, you may have noticed the proximity sensor in action without knowing what it was. This little flashing…
Framesira/Shutterstock If you have an Android tablet, chances are it comes with a USB-C port. Most modern devices, including laptops, smartphones, and tablets, now have USB-C ports for charging and other uses. But for most people, the USB-C port still only serves one purpose: charging.

It offers faster charging speeds and higher power consumption. And it’s reversible, ending…

Unfolded, it measures 171.3 x 74.0 x 7.3 mm. The construction is what you would expect at this price. It has an aluminum frame that holds everything together, while the back is finished…
Samuel Boivin/Shutterstock Apple’s tight control over devices in its ecosystem may not impress everyone, but it allows the company to offer useful features like Handoff, which lets you seamlessly resume a task you started on one Apple device on another nearby Apple device. iPhone owners have long appreciated the Handoff feature, transferring their browsing session to an iPad or Mac, or switching their FaceTime calls from a Mac to an iPhone. Android owners have, until now, relied on third-party apps or their manufacturer’s limited implementation to emulate parts of the…

Elvard/Shutterstock Project Carriers have offered voicemail support for years, a feature that many people may take for granted. But Google decided last year to redesign voicemail and make it even more useful. The company launched a feature called Take a Message with the Pixel 10 series in 2025, integrating AI to improve the calling experience for Pixel users by allowing them to screen calls in real-time. Take a Message behaves more like a traditional answering machine connected to a landline phone, with one key difference. The AI would also generate…
