This privacy-focused budget smartphone wants to fulfill your life-without-Google dreams
Privacy is on everyone's minds these days — even Google's. Android 13 is built from the ground up, focusing on privacy and security above all else, but if that's not enough for you, you'll need to look elsewhere. Murena has been around for a couple of years now, offering a custom OS for devices like the Fairphone 4, but today, it's finally time for the company to unveil its own hardware.

The iPhone 14 may be getting an always-on display, but Android phones perfected it years ago
While we Android users might still be recovering from the whirlwind that was Google I/O, Apple fans are preparing for their own developer conference. WWDC's keynote address is next week, promising an early look at iOS 16 before its launch later this year, and already, rumors are starting to fly. Once again, analysts expect to see always-on display support finally come to iPhones, starting with the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. Unfortunately, all these rumors demonstrate just how behind the times Apple is, with a feature many of our readers rely on daily.

Google's upcoming Pixel tablet may have a stylus in tow
Google is working on a Pixel-branded Android tablet due out next year. It'll run on Android, we know that for sure. But other details have been murky — there was some talk about a smart home focus, but whether it was going to be predominant was doubtful at best with the Pixel name coming to light. So, where's the need for a stylus? Apparently, the company has found one.

What is Amazon Fire OS?
Amazon released its first Kindle Fire tablet in 2011. A budget device aimed at bringing the burgeoning tablet form factor and Amazon services to the masses, the original Kindle Fire was pushed as the first viable iPad alternative. Since 2011 Amazon has continued to release a plethora of devices running Fire OS, from updated Kindle Fire tablets to its Fire TV streaming devices. Fire OS is eleven years old now, but confusion surrounding what it is has continued to persist. Is Fire OS a version of Android? Can I download Android apps on Fire tablets? Does Google services even work on Amazon's tablets? These are questions some have asked since the inception of Fire OS.

In our collective quest to chase the elusive state of inbox zero, some of us (hi) prefer to strictly employ deleterious methods to manage our email. For the rest of us, this may be achieved with the help of folders and labels. But the trick with archival, though, is with finding that one message later on. Gmail, now more than ever, seems eager to help you do just that.

Visual voicemail has been broken in the Phone by Google app for some Pixel owners on the recent Android 13 beta releases, eliminating the ability to see your individual voicemails from the built-in phone app. But, according to an official Google account on Reddit, there's a very simple fix.

Dragon Quest Builders lands on Android as a surprise release
It would appear that Square Enix has managed to do it again. The developer has released yet another hobbled port on mobile, this time for Dragon Quest Builders. It's a surprise release launched in celebration of Dragon Quest's 36th anniversary, and despite the high asking price of $21.99 (that's with a current 20% discount, by the way), controller support was removed, and DLC was added. Yep, $21.99 doesn't even get you the whole game. If you'd like to unlock the new free play build mode exclusive to the mobile release, you'll have to spend more money. Gee, thanks, Square Enix.

Samsung shows off its 200MP camera sensor with the animal we'll be taking the most pics of anyway
There's a good chance that at least a couple components in the phone you're holding right now — regardless of whose name is on the box — are made by Samsung. From displays, to flash storage, to vibration motors, to camera sensors — you name it, and the South Korean company probably has a factory for it already. Even with that kind of success, there's always the temptation to show off — especially when you've got some high-end new hardware on the way. Right now, Samsung's got megapixels on the brain, and it's looking to promote its recently announced 200MP sensor in a spectacular way.

2022 is shaping up to be the most significant expansion to the Pixel franchise yet. At Google I/O, we weren't just treated to official announcements for the Pixel 6a and Pixel Buds Pro — we also saw brief teases of the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, the Pixel Watch, and a Tensor-powered tablet that may just end up sporting the "Pixel" brand name. One long-rumored member of the family — the Pixel foldable — was notably missing from the event, and as we're learning today, we might be waiting even longer than expected.

Here are all the most interesting bits and pieces we found in Chrome 102.

MediaTek wants in on more American phones with its first chipset supporting millimeter wave 5G
The global chip shortage brought upheaval to the mobile sector and continues to rage on and allow MediaTek to claim a golden opportunity. IDC reported the company's systems-on-chips present in an "over 50%" share of the Android market last year while the manufacturer itself says that's a repeat performance from 2020. With rumors that Samsung might turn to outside help for a prominent smartphone release, the middle of 2022 is proving to be an exciting time for the Taiwanese firm. And, just announced, we've got a bunch of new silicon spanning the mid-range and they include the comapny's first crack at millimeter wave 5G.

Earlier this month, Match Group, the company behind dating services Match, Hinge, Tinder, and OKCupid, filed a court complaint against Google, joining numerous other app publishers alleging that the company abuses monopoly power by forcing them to use the Play Store's billing program — and accept divvying away up to 30% of their revenues — in order to be listed on the platform. This week marked a temporary settlement between the parties, but it may only set in place a holding pattern preceding a trial.

Google thinks it knows which speaker you'll want to Cast to
The ability to cast media from an Android phone feels like second nature but legalities get in the way of us taking it for granted and not every app includes it by default. The ones that do, like YouTube and YouTube Music, are very conveniently able to pass their audio, video, or both to the plethora of devices that support the protocol. Now, with a new tweak to the Cast interface, this process is getting even easier for people who have to juggle a lot of screens and speakers.
Android 11 is now the most popular version of the OS according to latest distribution numbers
From religiously updating its Android Platform Distribution chart on a monthly basis, to yearly, and then doing away with it entirely, it's almost as if Google was getting increasingly shy of revealing its state of affairs and with good reason: despite the best efforts of speeding up adoption rates, the platform trails iOS by a mile to this day. Now, instead of uploading that info into a website, Google's been putting it into Android Studio — accessing it sure isn't as convenient as before, but we are just glad we aren't left completely in the dark. Today, we check out the latest numbers through this new means.

The early days of the pandemic saw the internet faced with an unprecedented surge of traffic, with people restricted to their homes relying on going online for both work and entertainment, leading to slower internet across the globe. In a bid to reduce network congestion and prioritize the more essential stuff, streaming services all over started making sacrifices. Those cuts extended in some unexpected ways, like how Google downgraded video quality on certain Nest cameras and reduced Chromecast (and smart display) Ambient Mode photo quality. But with more and more people going back to the office, some of those restrictions are now being reverted.

Samsung Galaxy A53 review: The boring but reliable middle-of-the-road
Samsung makes a ton of competent mid-range phones, but 2021's Galaxy A52 5G was a particularly good value. At $500, it offered a better-than-it-needed-to-be 120Hz display, plus decent performance and cameras. This year's Galaxy A53 looks to strike a similar sweet spot: it's very similar to last year's phone, but it costs $50 less. That'd make for a pretty compelling package — if it weren't also a slightly worse phone.

Ask the internet for opinions on Netflix, and you'll often hear the same thought repeated again and again: the content sucks these days. While you'll often find differing conclusions on what makes up the select "good" shows produced by the company — one man's trash is another man's treasure — it doesn't seem like anyone is fully satisfied with the current output of shows. Netflix has spent the last year working with audiences to better tune its content to fan expectations, sometimes months in advance.

There are a lot of abandoned Android apps out there and it says a lot about indie development
Applications share a high degree of correlation to businesses. Unless it's based around intellectual property that can last, many of them don't last for terribly long. The uphill is steep and many developers aren't equipped to tackle all the challenges along the path unless they receive decent investment or are bought out. While that isn't the story for every app out there, there are plenty of them that will pop up in your app store search results and won't have received an update for months or even years. A new report attempts to shine a light on how many of these so-called "abandoned" apps are out there.

But with Chromebook owners seem keen on seeking utility from Android apps, no matter how broken they can be with malformed UIs in freeform windows, this just-announced addition to Android Studio sounds well overdue.

With just 0.08% market share, it's at risk of becoming well and truly forgotten. Nevertheless (or, perhaps, because of this failure), the company is looking to give it a revival — part of those plans include having a mobile app.
