Quick Share-AirDrop interoperability is coming to all Android phones soon

Google delighted its Pixel users last year by introducing an updated version of Quick Share that worked with Apple's AirDrop, but it has remained exclusive to the Pixel 10 series with a promise to bring it to older Pixel phones as well. Now Eric Kay, Vice President of Engineering at Google, confirmed that Quick Share compatibility with Apple's AirDrop is coming to a wider range of Android devices. Maybe the signs were there all along after Google upgraded the Quick Share Extension from a system app to a full-fledged APK that can be found on Google Play. This was a clear sign that...

More details on ChromeOS's planned phase out emerge

Google is preparing a shakeup of its operating system landscape and ChromeOS is getting the short end of the stick. According to recently surfaced court documents from the US vs. Google antitrust case obtained by The Verge, Google is planning to phase out ChromeOS completely by 2034. Why that year specifically? Well, Google’s last major ChromeOS hardware platform release was in 2023 and that means it will have to honor its ten-year support obligation through 2033-2034. The new development comes from a transcript from the case where Google lawyers confirmed that their client was looking...

It's the end of the line for Samsung's Galaxy S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra

While Samsung's latest flagships receive seven years of security updates (and seven major Android OS updates), that hasn't always been the case. And so, five years after their release, the Galaxy S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra are no longer going to receive any updates from this point forward. The trio launched in January of 2021, and they were each promised to receive four major Android updates and five years of security patches. Those five years are up now. So, if you own one of these three phones, perhaps now is the best time to start looking for a replacement, seeing as how you won't be...

Google confirmed it is closing free YouTube background playback loopholes

Most users tend to associate and purchase YouTube Premium to remove ads on the popular platform. However, there are a few other features Google locks behind that paywall as well. Most notably – background playback. That said, for quite some time now, crafty developers and their respective users have enjoyed ways of getting the feature for free. The simplest approach was to use a third-party browser like Samsung Internet, Brave or Vivaldi (to name a few) to play content in the background. After an avalanche of user reports over the past few days, Google has finally confirmed that it is...

Huawei FreeClip 2 review

Huawei is no stranger to experimenting with device form factors and its FreeClip 2 are a prime example.

The second-gen FreeClips come with a noticeably smaller footprint for both the earbuds and case, alongside updated sound which Huawei proudly claims offers 100% stronger volume output. Despite the sleeker size, Huawei still claims up to 9 hours of usage from the buds on a single charge and up to...

Ayaneo reveals the chipset powering its Pocket Play smartphone

Ayaneo started teasing the Pocket Play, its first smartphone, back in November, and then in December it showed us what it would look like, Sony Ericsson Xperia Play vibes and all. Today, Ayaneo has finally revealed the chipset sitting at the helm of the Pocket Play. It's MediaTek's Dimensity 9300. That's an odd choice, given that the SoC in question came out in 2023. Sure, it was MediaTek's top dog of 2023, but it's more than two years old. And if, we assume for pricing purposes, Ayaneo wanted to go with MediaTek instead of Qualcomm (since MediaTek's top of the line SoCs are always...
