I’m not usually someone who gets overly excited about Android skins, but One UI 8.5 genuinely deserves some credit. Samsung has always been strong on customization, and this update takes things a step further in a way that actually feels useful. There are already plenty of ways to tweak how your phone looks and behaves, but now Samsung is refining the experience where it matters most. The Quick Panel, which you probably swipe down dozens of times a day, is getting even more customization options.  What’s new? Samsung is clearly leaning deeper into personalization with the latest QuickStar update. The…

The Pixel 11 Pro XL is already coming into focus, and if you were hoping for a bold redesign, this leak sets a different tone. Early CAD renders obtained by Android Headlines show a device that sticks closely to Google’s current look, just stretched into a larger frame. That approach feels deliberate. If you already like the Pixel design, this model leans into it instead of reworking it. The main shift is straightforward, it’s bigger. You’re looking at a 6.8-inch display paired with the same horizontal camera bar across the back. The bar remains fully black in the renders, creating…

Your next Android flagship may get a big Gemini Nano 4 boost, and Google’s already laying the groundwork. In a new developer preview, it’s pushing a faster, more efficient AI model that will power upcoming phones later this year. The idea’s simple. Build apps now using the new Gemma 4 model, and that same code will carry over to supported devices when they arrive. It gives developers a head start while Google fine-tunes performance for real hardware. This matters because AI’s becoming central to flagship phones. These models run locally instead of relying on the cloud, which means quicker responses…

Your chatbot doesn’t have feelings, but it may act like it does in ways that matter. New research into Claude AI emotions suggests these internal signals aren’t just surface-level quirks, they can influence how the model responds to you. Anthropic says its Claude model contains patterns that function like simplified versions of emotions such as happiness, fear, and sadness. These aren’t lived experiences, but recurring activity inside the system that activates when it processes certain inputs. Those signals don’t stay in the background. Tests show they can affect tone, effort, and even decision-making, meaning your chatbot’s apparent “mood” can quietly…

Starting April 10 at 4pm PDT, YouTube will livestream both weekends of Coachella 2026 for free, and this year’s setup is the most ambitious one yet. Seven stages will be streamed simultaneously, and the platform is also introducing a new vertical feed shot entirely on Pixel phones, adding a different way to experience the festival. How YouTube is upgrading your Coachella 2026 experience The biggest upgrade is 4K streaming, available for the first time across three stages – the main Coachella Stage, the Outdoor Theatre, and Sahara.…

Seven hours into its journey, Artemis II hit a snag that would feel familiar in any office. The mission commander lost access to Microsoft Outlook on his onboard device, cutting off email mid-flight according to Wired. The issue showed up on a personal computing device used to manage mission data and communications during the 10-day lunar flyby. When both Outlook instances stopped responding, the commander called Houston for help and asked ground teams to check the system. It’s a small moment in a major mission, but it lands clearly. Even on a spacecraft heading farther than humans have traveled in…

If you are hoping AI can rescue your dating life, Rhik Samadder’s latest experiment is probably the reality check you need. In his latest first-person piece, Samadder decided to let AI take the lead on his love life as part of a broader six-week experiment. This had him hand pieces of his daily routine over to AI chatbots, including writing his dating profile, helping with messages, choosing his outfit, and even feeding him conversation prompts during an actual date. And the result was less romantic breakthrough and more social car crash. How bad could it be? The first warning sign…

Windows PCs are about to get a little more touchy. Microsoft is now testing a new kind of interaction in Windows 11 that doesn’t just show you what’s happening on screen, but it lets you feel it too. Rolling out in the latest Insider build, the update introduces haptic feedback for a bunch of everyday actions. It’s subtle, it’s optional, and if done right, it could make Windows feel a lot more responsive. What’s changing in Windows 11 with haptics? With Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26300.8155, Microsoft is adding haptic feedback effects to compatible devices like advanced trackpads and…

Anthropic just pulled a move that’s… let’s just say, not going to win it many fans among power users. One of the most popular ways to supercharge Claude, using OpenClaw, is effectively being paywalled out of existence. And yeah, it’s as messy as it sounds. Anthropic just made OpenClaw way more expensive According to Anthropic Claude Code exec Boris Cherny, Anthropic has changed how Claude subscriptions work. Starting now, your regular Claude subscription no longer covers usage through third-party tools. Instead, that usage gets kicked into a separate pay-as-you-go billing system. Starting tomorrow at 12pm PT, Claude subscriptions will no…
