At one point, Android tablets were devices that no one cared for. But they have seen a revival of sorts this year, with more brands starting to release both mid-range and flagship models. As such, Google is looking to make UI improvements for it.

With the release of Android 12, smartphone manufacturers have started working on custom skins for their devices. For Samsung, the beta of One UI 4.0 became available earlier this month and adds plenty of new features. Interestingly, the custom skin will also be available for non-mobile devices.

So last week, there were numerous reports that Windows 11 is causing some performance issues on AMD PCs and laptops. Although both Microsoft and AMD have worked together to resolve it, it seems that the latest update didn't really help much but made it worst than before.

Last week, Windows 11 officially launched and a few new laptops were the first to get access to it. But as always, a new operating system is bound to have bugs and users soon found that AMD PCs had performance issues. Well, looks like that's being fixed.

As you know, Apple released iOS 15 recently, which introduced some new features. Not a lot of people have upgraded to the new version yet, as users might not consider it worth upgrading to. But the new upgrade for the AirPods Pro could be useful for some people.

By now, most of you may have already upgraded your PC or laptop to Windows 11. However, if your model is using an AMD Ryzen mobile processor - you might want to hold off the upgrade because there are reports of performance issues.

If you recall, Android 12 was officially released yesterday. Smartphone brands were quick to announce custom UIs based on the new version. OPPO, Xiaomi, and realme already have their versions, and now Samsung is part of this gang with One UI 4.0 beta.

For Samsung smartphone users, the company's One UI is among the top Android skins these days. In the latest One UI 3, there are even cool features like Multi-Active Window. Now, Samsung is gearing up for the release of the next big version - One UI 4.

When it comes to gaming, we know how addicting it can be especially during this pandemic period. We also know how common (and sometimes annoying) is to have your parents nagging you to sleep and Tencent is taking this on another level. In China, the company launched a facial recognition software system that will lock selected mobile games from 10 PM until 8 AM.

This article will look at why brands that make Android smartphones launch more devices than Apple.
