At the start of December, Google reported that Android 16 adoption was low. However, our tech-savvy audience is ahead of the curve and most of the people who voted in last week’s poll have version 16 running on their phone. For some (7%), it’s because they bought a new phone recently and it came with Android 16 out of the box. The majority of voters (55%), however, received version 16 as an update. Around a third of voters are still on an older version – either because they are still waiting (some brands take longer than others) or because support for their phone has come to an...

WhatsApp might soon let all users send messages automatically in chats, as it's working on a message-scheduling feature expected to work in both individual and group chats.

This feature, which might be called Scheduled Messages, would allow users to automatically send messages by scheduling them in advance.

The mid-range smartphone market in the US is not in a good place – the most exciting launch in a while happened earlier this week with the unveiling of the Google Pixel 10a (though note that the phone will become available a couple of weeks from now). The Google Pixel 10a is mostly the same as the 9a. It uses the same 6.3” 1080p+ display (slightly brighter) now with Gorilla Glass 7i (replacing GG3), runs on the same Tensor G4 chipset and has the same 48+13MP camera. The battery capacity is the same too, 5,100mAh, though Google increased the wired (from 23W to 30W) and wireless (from 7.5W...

Internal research at Samsung revealed that the majority of users, nearly 8 in 10, regularly use more than two AI agents. The company is working on improving Galaxy AI for the AI future.

If you are looking to pick up a shiny new Galaxy S26 Ultra, you will likely get a choice between four colors: Black, Cobalt Violet, Sky Blue, and White. And just like every year, there will be some online...
