If you've been following the Android smartphone industry closely, you will know that it's all about performance and speed, particularly with high-end devices. Almost every major Android flagship today barring the Google Pixel 8 series is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, with Samsung using a special "For Galaxy" version of the SoC in its high-end phones. We've recently learned that Qualcomm will debut its next-gen chip, aptly named the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, during the annual Snapdragon Summit in October. We're now gaining some early intel on this upcoming chipset, specifically about its GPU performance.

The Tile Pro and the Chipolo One are two of the most popular smart tags that are platform-agnostic, which means they are compatible with Android and iOS devices.

You will find a lot of other similarities between the two smart trackers. However, which of the two is most beneficial? Lets find out.

After spending 13 years as the top dog, something shocking happened in worldwide smartphone sales. Samsung slipped to second behind Apple, a surprising result considering Samsungs more diverse lineup.

Google Messages rolled out a big redesign for its text field back in January, with the field being split into two lines rather than just one. The idea here was to give users easy access to the multiple shortcuts available in the messaging app while also trying to retain the same text field size. However, this change didn't go down well with many of the app's users. Back in April, we learned that the company may be working on a reversal of this particular text-field redesign. It now looks like the single-line text field is rolling out to some users with the Google Messages beta release.

Whether you work the third shift, sleep next to a snoring partner, or are routinely woken up by the gentle morning sounds of heavy construction machinery, if youre part of the poor sleep club, you know the agony of prolonged sleep deprivation. Thankfully, sleeping headphones are a great tool we unwilling insomniacs can use to finally catch that elusive REM.

The Galaxy S24 series is doing well for Samsung, and that's no surprise. While each model is an iterative upgrade over the S23 series from last year, all three phones in the series are excellent. They weren't created equal, though. The S24 Ultra switched to Gorilla Armor for its display, eliminating 75% of reflections compared to the Victus 2 used by the S24 and S24+. The anti-reflective glass is one of our favorite parts of the S24 Ultra, and you can replicate most of that experience on the S24 and S24+ for just $30.

Although it might feel like last year's Pixel 8 launch was just a few weeks ago, believe it or not, we've already made it to the next high-profile Google event. Google I/O kicks off from the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View on Tuesday, May 14, and unlike last year, we're expecting to hear about nothing more than AI for nearly two hours straight. That might sound a little exhausting, but if you're at all interested in seeing the future of Google and the future of Android this year's keynote is the one to watch.
