Weekly poll: Would you be getting the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 if it weren't a China-exclusive?

Xiaomi announced its high-end foldable earlier this week, the Mix Fold 3, and it's certainly shaping to be one of the best foldables for 2023. Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Fold5, the Mix Fold 3 offers a substantial hardware upgrade over its predecessor. It didn't quite match the Honor Magic V2 for the thinnest foldable on the market, but at 10.9mm when folded (5.3mm unfolded) the Xiaomi flagship still shaves a 0.3mm compared to its predecessor despite packing a 4,800 mAh battery from 4,500 mAh on the Mix Fold 2. Xiaomi even found some space for wireless charging coils, as the handset now...

Weekly poll results: Android Auto is the fan favorite, Apple CarPlay also has its fans

The results from last week’s poll are in and it’s clear that Android Auto is the leading car software choice for those of you that drive. Google’s solution captured over 50% of all votes while Apple CarPlay comes at a distant second with just over 17% of the pie. Android Auto and CarPlay are clearly important considerations when buying a new vehicle. This comes as no surprise as both systems offer a greater app selection than the built-in apps on most vehicles’ infotainment systems. They also tend to work smoother and offer a sleek and modern experience but there’s always the question...

The Google Camera app is getting a major UI overhaul with the Pixel 8 series

A source related to Android AUthority shared screenshots of the new Google Camera UI redesign, which will likely be introduced with the upcoming Pixel 8 lineup this fall. The last big design overhaul was back in 2019, so it's interesting to see what Google has in store for its Pixel users. The first thing to notice is the clear separation between the Photo and Video modes. A dedicated toggle at the very bottom of the app lets you choose whether you want to take a still or record a video. Only then can you choose the corresponding mode from the carousel. Previously, all modes were mixed in...

One UI 6 based on Android 14 beta for Galaxy S22 series is inching closer to launch

One could argue that this is a teaser for the upcoming beta program for Galaxy S22 users.
