Google's Pixel 9 family came with one unique feature in the Android world - the ability to copy data from another device at any point, even past the initial setup. This will finally make it to other Android devices in 2025, Google has announced today. It will be part of a suite of improvements that Google is brining to the Android Switch experience. Google says this will allow you to "check out your new phone first and transfer your data later", so you can "quickly complete your initial setup and get your data when you're ready". Whenever you do feel like you're ready, you can...
WhatsApp is currently testing a new feature that will let you mention group chats in status updates. This is now live in the latest beta version of the app found in the Google Play Store for Android. This comes after WhatsApp previously started testing allowing you to mention contacts in status updates, so mentioning group chats can be seen as an expansion of that feature. When a contact is mentioned, they receive a notification and a message in your chat with them. With the ability to mention group chats in a status update, you will be able to notify entire groups in one step,...
Android tablets haven't seen anywhere near as much success as Apple's iPads, and Google's wares are included in that assessment. The company gave up on tablets in 2019 before it teased the Pixel Tablet in 2022 and then released it last year, and now it looks like it's ready to give up on the form factor yet again. According to a new report supposedly coming from "multiple industry sources close to the project", Google has decided to cancel the development of the Pixel Tablet 3, codenamed internally as Kiyomi. The decision was apparently made last week, which is when all of the teams...
HMD unveiled the Fusion smartphone with a modular design back in September, and last month it received a Venom Smart Outfit. Now, it's getting ready to land in India. The phone is being teased by Amazon, and so you'll be able to buy it from that retailer when it does arrive in India. The launch date is still a mystery, but since the teaser campaign has started, it really can't be long now. The HMD Fusion comes with a 6.56-inch 720x1612 LCD touchscreen with 90 Hz refresh rate, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset at the helm, 4/6/8GB of RAM, 128/256GB of storage, a 108 MP rear camera with...
We’re less than a week away from the Huawei Mate 70 series announcement, and the teaser campaign is in full swing. The latest piece to the puzzle details an important camera development that may shape up to be one of the key upgrades on the new phones. Huawei will bring a dedicated spectral imaging sensor dubbed “Red Maple” to its Mate 70 series phones. The brief teaser video shows the new sensor in action alongside a few samples highlighting natural color rendition. Unlike traditional red, green, green, blue (RGGB) color sensors or red, yellow, yellow, blue (RYYB) on...
Perhaps one of the more sensible alternatives to the Apple Pencil stylus for iPads is the SonarPen and it's now getting a second generation. The SonarPen 2's key selling point is its battery-free design and the support for some advanced features at a fraction of the Apple Pencil's price. The SonarPen 2 is powered by a cable that you plug into the iPad's USB-C port, which is a bit of an inconvenience, but it's a pretty simple and straightforward solution. That's what makes it cheap and particularly useful for classrooms that use iPads, for example. You don't have to charge all the...

Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra may end up costing more than its predecessor, according to a very recent rumor. It's also been constantly rumored to arrive with a more rounded case shape compared to the very angular S24 Ultra, and today a new leak is purportedly showing us some S25 Ultra dummy units.

Redmi's next flagship line of smartphones is coming to China very soon - on November 27, if the leak you can see below is to be believed. A promo image for the upcoming K80 and K80 Pro has been leaked over in China, and it clearly shows the date in question. We also get a look at the design of the upcoming handsets, and it seems to be slightly inspired by that of the Xiaomi 14 Civi which launched back in June, with a circular camera island that's off to the left on the phone's back. The Redmi K80 models do however have a linear LED flash strip to the right of it. Redmi K80 series is...
