The feature in question is Identity Check, a thoughtful addition introduced in Android 15. New findings suggest it’s expanding to smartwatches, offering a more seamless and secure experience.
Don’t miss: This Secret Android Feature Makes Your Phone Hack-Proof
Another year, another Sony Xperia flagship. For 2025, the Japanese company released the Xperia 1 VII (or Xperia 1 mark 7). Once again leaning on the company’s expertise from its camera, audio, and display divisions, is the new Sony phone a true creator’s tool? Let’s find out in this review.
Google has been selling phones for almost a decade, but it has mostly kept a low profile by limiting availability in many markets. This may have been a strategic move to let other Android manufacturers dominate. Despite that, Google’s growth is accelerating, and it now stands as a serious rival to brands like Samsung and Xiaomi. New data suggests it’s currently the fastest-growing premium phone maker.
Apple launched its ultra-thin iPhone, and while it’s a hair thinner than Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge, the latter is winning on price. The Galaxy S25 Edge is now on sale at Amazon, with the base version priced between $837 and $839, down from $1,099. That’s a discount of up to $262 (24%).
Apple has unveiled the new iPhone generation – and is launching four models at once: the regular iPhone 17, the brand new iPhone Air, and the iPhone 17 Pro in two sizes.
Sony launched the Xperia 1 VII in June this year, but the Xperia 10 VII was notably absent from the lineup. It appears the Japanese brand is planning a separate unveiling for its next mid-range device, which could happen soon as the phone continues to surface online. The latest leak reveals a radical new design and confirms key specifications.
Google’s new Pixel 10 (Pro) smartphones are turning heads with powerful features and a sleek design. But beyond the positive upgrades, early users are reporting troubling glitches. Some of these flaws are especially alarming, with one in particular raising serious safety concerns.
Samsung’s Galaxy S25 FE just debuted last week, a more affordable take on the flagship Galaxy S25 series. Right now, you can already score up to $160 in savings through a storage upgrade and a gift card at Amazon, which is 20% off the usual bundle price.
The Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra were standout flagships when they launched, and even today, millions of units are likely still in use. Samsung extended their lifespan by continuing to provide security updates, even though the last major Android OS they received was Android 13 via One UI 5.1. That support has now officially ended, with the final patch arriving last month. This leaves users exposed to an increasingly outdated system.
Samsung just launched the new Galaxy Tab S11 at its Unpacked event yesterday. However, retailers like Amazon are already offering sizeable discounts for the flagship Galaxy tablet. The retailer has the 512 GB Wi-Fi variant listed for $859 from $979, which is a $120 (12%) discount. You can pick from Gray or Silver.
