News & Reviews:   Android 16

Looks like Nothing Phone fans are in for some pleasant news. The Nothing OS version 4.0 is being offered to Nothing phone users in stages starting today. So, what should you know about it?

Most PCs are powered by Microsoft Windows, with the majority using Intel CPUs. AMD pulls in at second place, while Qualcomm holds some market share now (estimated 9%) with its Snapdragon X Elite CPUs. But what's interesting is that Qualcomm could enable Android PCs.

Since Nothing launched its first smartphone, the industry has considered the company's Nothing OS one of the best UIs around. It's minimalist, clean, and free from the bloatware you typically see in Chinese phones. However, that's no longer the case with the next update.

2025 is the year of AI-powered smartphone UIs. More brands are integrating AI features into their devices, and OnePlus is no different. Recently, the company launched the latest version of OxygenOS - OxygenOS 16. This new version has a heavier focus on AI, while promising a smoother user experience.

Today, Google has officially launched Android 16, and it's rolling out to Pixel devices first. There are a couple of new features, such as Live Updates, accessibility improvements, stronger security, and windowed multitasking.

Google is developing a new feature called " Battery Health Assistance", which is expected to launch with Android 16. So, what should you know about it?

Android 16 will have a desktop mode similar to Samsung DeX. This was revealed a few months ago after the Android 16 Beta was given to developers. Yesterday, Google finally showed the final design for this desktop mode and some of the features it will support. So, what should you know about it?

Arriving earlier than usual, Google has officially announced the stable release of Android 16. The schedule is for Q2 of 2025, with indications pointing to a potential rollout on 3 June.

For some people, the alternative to laptops is the tablet. But what if you want to work on a mobile app and the tablet's screen is still not big enough? In that case, mirroring your phone to a larger display could be the solution. Samsung DeX works like this, but a more universal option is allegedly being developed.

According to Sammobile, Samsung may launch the Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 with OneUI 8 based on Android 16. This is great news for Samsung fans. So, what should you know about it?
