Google is working on a nifty new Self Share feature for Chrome OS

Samsung's smartphone cameras are up there with the best in the business; the company's flagships are always jockeying with Pixels and iPhones for best smartphone camera honors. Modern Samsung phones have a lot of camera features that aren't entirely obvious at first blush — some squirreled away in a whole second camera app. Looking to make the most of your Galaxy S22 phone's cameras? Here are a few tips to try.

Smartphones are expensive and accidents happen. Now that we've stated the obvious, it is perhaps useful to also mention that most of us carry a lot of private information in our mobile devices. Whether it is a company-issued phone or a flagship purchased after months of savings, odds are that the data within the device is actually more valuable than the device itself.

Google hinted during I/O 2022 that it would introduce native support for braille displays on a future version of Android, and now the company has confirmed the feature will officially debut in the final version of Android 13. Google has confirmed it will also be available in Android 13 Beta 3, which the company says will arrive "in a few weeks."

Businesses don't just rely on health insurance to lure potential workers into their fold. Gym memberships, free snacks or meals, even free fitness trackers — there's no shortage of perks that modern companies can use to win over future employees. Spotify is sick of being on the outside of those benefits, so it's introducing a new program to help businesses entice workers through the promise of free jam sessions.

Google is always optimizing its Android apps for smartphones by introducing new features or enhancing existing ones. But the same couldn’t be said for tablet apps. Until very recently, the company had shown very little interest in the form factor, making any given tablet pretty much an oversized Android phone at best. With Android 12L, Google took a serious interest in the form factor, and ahead of the Pixel tablet launch in 2023, the company shows no signs of slowing down. It has now released an update that makes Google Lens much more intuitive for large screens.

Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest man, who thinks tunnels are immune to natural disasters, is purchasing Twitter. The company confirmed on Monday afternoon that it had accepted the billionaire’s offer. “Twitter, Inc. today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an entity wholly owned by Elon Musk, for $54.20 per share in cash in a transaction valued at approximately $44 billion,” reads the official press release. “Upon completion of the transaction, Twitter will become a privately held company.”

Jeff Bezos, the founder and former CEO of Amazon, and Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and soon-to-be owner of Twitter, don't strike me as best buds. The two men have competed over the past few years for the title of the world's richest man, a title Musk holds. They also sort of compete in space, with Bezos' Blue Origin competing against Musk's SpaceX.

Gone are the days when we relied on cable to watch our favorite shows, movies, and sports events. Streaming services offer live and on-demand content on your phone, computer, and TV—without a pricey cable subscription. The streaming market is filled with dozens of choices and, to be honest, it can be a challenge to find exactly the right one. To make things a little easier, we'vehand-picked top streaming services that deliver the best bang for the buck in their respective genres.

YouTube Music has been on Wear OS watches for less than a year, and new updates are landing to make it a fully-fledged option for listening to the streaming service. The latest change is the ability to listen to music over WiFi or LTE on your smartwatch. Announced in a community post from Google, YouTube Music on Wear OS is set to support streaming music after an update in the coming days. Previously, listeners had to download playlists to listen to them.

After many teasers, the OnePlus Nord 2T has been officially unveiled with fast-charging features that match the very best version of the OnePlus 10 Pro despite being half the price. Announced alongside a European release for the Nord CE 2 Lite, neither of these phones will come to the US. The only device announced during this launch for those in the US is the company's new OnePlus Nord Buds, which it revealed last week.

Editor's Note: This post was originally published in October 2021, shortly before Google announced its Pixel 6-series flagships. The Pixel 6 Pro is Google's most ambitious phone to date, but it got off to a very rocky start. And with the recent Pixel 6a announcement, we're curious to see how will Google market its mid-range offering around the globe. If this understated and unconvential Japanese ad campaign for the Pixel 6 is any indicator, we have a lot to look forward to.

Some homeowners may not want to upgrade to a smart lock as they want to preserve the look and aesthetic of their front door. If that's you, but you want the benefits of smart home integration on your front door, August's new Smart Deadbolt with Wi-Fi may be built for you.

We all have those YouTube videos worth watching again and again. Whether it's a six-hour essay about your favorite obscure 90s Japanese dating sim or a 30-second viral clip of the cutest cats on the web, rewatching old content is a routine part of the site. With a bunch of new features for YouTube, users can finally get to the most replayed parts of any given video without sitting through the rest.

Google kicked off this year with a bombshell announcement: free legacy G Suite accounts were disappearing for good, with affected users forced into considering subscription options to avoid losing access to a decade-plus of purchases. It didn't take long for fan rage and anger to push for a substitution plan, with a survey effectively promising some sort of migration policy for those with less than ten people on a custom domain. After delaying the transition to make time for a finalized plan, a new "no-cost Legacy G Suite" tier is finally here.

The OnePlus Ace only launched a month ago in China — alongside a rebranded model for India — but in the company's race to rival Motorola for "most phones launched in a single year," it's got another handheld ready to go. The company launched a teaser site for the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition, and it's taking its looks from another of its 2022 devices.

WhatsApp hasn't always been completely free — iOS users had to initially pay a one-time fee of $1 to download the app, which in 2013 was replaced by a more universal, subscription-like model where new users were charged the same amount after a year of free usage. However, in 2016, the messaging service went the freeware route, scrapping all forms of payments. It's stayed that way ever since, but hints spotted in the app last month pointed toward WhatsApp working on an optional subscription for Business users with some additional features. While it's known that one of them is extended multi-device support, another premium feature has come to the fore today.

Of all the hardware announced at Google I/O, far and away the most exciting product wasn't the Pixel Watch we've waited almost half a decade for; it was the Pixel Buds Pro. The Pixel Buds (2020) were amazing buds ruined by horrendous connection issues, but they nailed gesture controls better than anyone before — or since. And while the Pixel Buds A-series fixed the connectivity, they also lost the wireless charging and those gesture controls.

Google announced the Pixel Buds Pro at Google I/O earlier this month. The premium wireless earbuds are slated to go up for pre-order on July 21st and hit stores a week later on July 28th. They will be available in four colors: Coral, Lemongrass, Fog, and Charcoal. Google is known for launching its products in limited markets and colors outside the US. The story is a bit different here as the Pixel Buds Pro will be launching in 12 countries. Even better is that the various colorways will be available in most of these markets.

Samsung’s flagship phone lineup has had a three-tier arrangement for years now, with variations not just in size but also in features and, more importantly, price. This is very effective in that it helps cater to the need of a wider audience. So far, though, for its Galaxy Watch series, the company has released only two models every year — regular and Classic, with the latter being the pricier one. But as information from last month showed, there will actually be a third ‘Pro’ variant this year that’ll be even more premium than the other two. While barely anything was known about the said watch at the time, a new rumor sheds some light on how it'll build its material cache.

Custom silicon is all the rage right now. Apple is fully dedicated to its A-series and M-series chips for phones, tablets, and computers alike, while Google teased a next-gen Tensor processor for the Pixel 7 last week. Samsung has designed its own mobile processors for years, but Exynos-branded chips aren't just limited to the company's devices. Despite confirmation that an exclusive CPU could arrive for future Galaxy phones, we might be waiting a lot longer than most would expect.
