Google is partnering with Meta to "fix" Instagram on Android 17. Here's what that means: ✅ Videos captured and uploaded using flagship Android 17 phones will have "the same or better" video quality than iPhone ✅ Ultra HDR capture and playback ✅ Built-in video stabilisation ✅ Built-in Night mode ✅ More optimised for Android tablets It is also said that they have optimised the capture-to-upload pipeline to ensure that photos and videos remain sharp after they are posted.

I tried to capture this fidget spinner using the Huawei Pura70 Ultra to test its capability in handling fast-moving subjects. The result is truly impressive.

Now this is an awesome new attention to detail on iOS 18. When you press a volume button, there's an effect that makes it look as if the screen bezel is expanding.

For those of you who are using iOS 26 Dev Beta 1, here's what you can do to get a better experience of using your iPhone. 1. If you don't like the new default behaviour of showing the toolbar when taking a screenshot, you can go to Settings -> General -> Screen capture -> Disable Full-screen Previews

People are complaining about iOS 26 having bugs even though it is still in its Dev Beta 1 stage. How about you tell Samsung to fix this buggy interface that has been on One UI 7 phones for 5 months?

Android 🤝 Apple Kudos to Google for making file-sharing between the Android world and Apple devices much easier, all without having to install an extra app. On top of that, the transfer speed is extremely fast and the entire process is reliable.

The visual effects on OPPO's new ColorOS 16 is just too good. For example: Look at that lock screen clock transition from 19 59 to 20 00.

I saw the Huawei Pura X Max in person, and I actually like this form factor. I usually use my foldable phones for productivity (typing, photo editing, etc.) more than content consumption. But with this form factor, it is more suitable for content consumption, like watching movies or YouTube videos, for example. And I also love how compact it is compared to other book-style foldable phones. Now I'm also excited about the upcoming iPhone Fold and Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide if they have a similar form factor as this Huawei phone. If it had already been available to buy before my flight home, I would've bought this phone already.

These Samsung fanboys just don't realise that Tecno's tele sensor is just much bigger than Samsung's (1/2.76" vs 1/4"). I tried capturing the same scene with the Galaxy S26 and Tecno Camon 50 Pro, and this time I recorded the process. The result is still the same. You can't defy physics by beating a phone with *much better* hardware just with better software (in this case, we're talking about the tele lens).

The lens switching transition on the vivo X300 Pro has to be the best I’ve ever seen on an Android phone so far. In some ways, it is even smoother than my iPhone 17 Pro due to the fact that the X300 Pro does not feel jumpy when the lens is being switched.

Meet the new Huawei Pura80 Ultra. It features the world's largest telephoto sensor in a smartphone, with a 1/1.28" size. It is also the world's first smartphone to have a switchable telephoto lens structure, with 3.7x and 9.4x optical zoom levels. The hardware is truly outstanding.

Here's a subtle but interesting new thing in One UI 8 running on the Galaxy Z Fold7/Flip7. It has a new customisation option that allows the date & clock to be wrapped around the subject in a wallpaper that you use. You can also place it literally anywhere in the lock screen.

Even after almost 2 days of using this Honor Magic8 Pro Air, I still can't help but think "How is it even possible?" Small, thin, light, nice to hold, big battery for the form factor, can be charged quickly, very good triple camera system, very nice stereo speakers. How????
