Though newer Galaxy Watches have built-in battery protection, choosing the right time of day to charge your watch will get you the best results.

Knowing how long your phone will get updates is important for deciding when to upgrade.

Your Android device will only receive updates for so long, and it might have already left its support period without you realizing.

Your Samsung phone has features to help keep the battery healthy, so you'll see an icon when they're kicking in.

A global rollout will follow, although we don't yet know the details.

If your Samsung phone is acting strangely, you can test just about any element of the phone's hardware using this test.

The iPhone Duo has an IP68 dust and water resistance rating, beating Samsung and tying Google.


Samsung's latest Galaxy Z Fold8 models have an IP48 dust and water resistance rating, which means they aren't able to hold up to dust as well. Google's Pixel 11 Pro Fold also has an IP68 rating.

IP6X for dust means the ‌iPhone Duo‌ is "dust-tight" and no dust is able to get in. The IPX8 rating for water means it is protected from water deeper than 1 meter. Apple says the device can handle a maximum depth of 6 meters for up to 30 minutes. IP68 is the same dust and water resistance rating as other iPhones, and dust matters because it can get into the hinges of foldables and cause damage.

Apple warns that water and dust resistance "are not permanent conditions," and resistance can decrease as a result of normal wear. iFixit will likely do a teardown on the ‌iPhone Duo‌, and we'll see how it holds up to dust.

The ‌iPhone Duo‌ has other durability features, including a titanium frame, titanium hinge cover, and 10-layer display.

Apple's first foldable competes well with the Z Fold 8, at least in terms of specs.

It can be tough to preserve the quality of your images when sending them from Android to iPhone, but these tried-and-true methods keep them crystal clear.

Samsung's Z Fold series has improved the foldable phone form factor over time, but there remains an issue that the rumored iPhone Ultra may not remedy.

Samsung may have as many as five different foldable phones next year.

On the plus side, it wasn’t as bad as last year. On the minus side, it was still pretty bad.

I disagree. Trevor Noah war absolut „chill“; Trevor Noah ist nicht das Problem.

Egal ob Apple, Samsung, OpenAI oder Google: Alle produzieren inzwischen lupenreine Infomercials – lediglich unterschiedlich verpackt.

Ob man auf solchen Events oder über Influencer:innen von neuen Produkten erfährt, ist inzwischen austauschbar; eine tatsächlich kritische Auseinandersetzung folgt ohnehin erst viel später.

Ich kann Werbeveranstaltungen mit Celebrities, wie in dieser Woche bei Google, wenig abgewinnen, quäle mich aber andererseits auch nicht durch Live-Coding-Sessions auf OpenAI-Keynotes.

Apples Hochglanz-Spots fehlt inzwischen der Glanz und das Neue aus den Anfangszeiten. Mit schnellen Cuts schätze ich dort jedoch weiterhin die komprimierte Informationsvermittlung.

Eine Rückkehr zu früheren Live-Präsentationen erscheint mir für Apple weiterhin unrealistisch. Sie mögen ihr fehlerfreies Format, auch wenn sie sich die Möglichkeit offenhalten, in einem kleineren Rahmen persönlich auf Bühnen zu treten.

Verklärte Vergangenheit: Die Rufe nach Live-Präsentationen vergessen, wie zäh selbst einige Steve-Jobs-Keynotes waren – insbesondere die Demos. Andererseits fehlt genau dieser Steve Jobs, der selbst eine Werbeveranstaltung zum Samstagabendprogramm machen konnte.

Aber genau wie das Samstagabendprogramm haben auch Tech-Keynotes heute nicht mehr diesen Stellenwert.

If you're not yet using the digital wallet -- Apple Wallet or Google Wallet -- on your phone, there are some good reasons to start.

If you're considering ditching iOS for an Android device, make sure you know what you might be losing.

If you can't find the watch face you want in the Play Store, you can create your own Galaxy Watch face from scratch.`

Some Android users find the security feature to be too restrictive. Here's how to disable it and what you risk by doing so.

Hopefully the Z Fold 8's new design is a sign of things to come.

Samsung's smartphone lineup pits a jack of all trades against a master of one.

Thinner watches, wider foldables, higher prices.
