The tiny Palm phone is no longer just a sidekick
[ad_1] And yes, Palm is using this as an opportunity to improve some of the phone’s other sticking points. Software updates should extend the battery life as well as improve the camera’s color accuracy and low-light shooting. It can even take HDR photos, which isn’t something you’d expect from a device this compact. The stand-alone […]
Mystery Motorola phone could pack four rear cameras
[ad_1] There aren’t many more details at this stage, but there would be a 6.2-inch display with a teardrop notch for the front camera (no hole-punch display this time around) as well as an in-screen fingerprint reader. It’s not going to be a budget phone, then, even though it might not cost as much as […]
New Android Q beta adds reworked gestures and a foldable emulator
[ad_1] The first thing users are likely to notice in the second Android Q beta is the reworked gestures. First introduced in Android Pie but widely considered to be clunky and occasionally unresponsive, button-free navigation has been revamped and feels much more like iOS.

Gmail can schedule messages to send them at a better time
[ad_1] Smart Compose is also learning to adapt to your personal style. The AI-guided feature now knows how to recognize your usual greetings — if you open with a “hey” or “hello,” you won’t have to repeat yourself every time. The feature can also suggest subject lines based on the body text. And while the […]

eBay uses AI to help you shop for similar-looking items
[ad_1] This AI-guided shopping is available in eBay’s Android and iOS apps right now, though it’s currently only available in the US, UK, Australia and Germany.

LG G8 ThinQ will be available in the US April 11th
[ad_1] Whether or not it’s worth the savings over the S10 will likely depend on just how much you like LG’s rather unusual priorities. You don’t get a telephoto lens or 8GB of RAM (‘just’ 6GB) for the money, but you do get party tricks like in-the-air hand gestures, an OLED display that doubles as […]
Telegram users can delete any message in their private chat history
[ad_1] Company founder Pavel Durov noted in his public Telegram channel that the potential for misuse of old messages is getting worse.

This ostensibly gives you “complete control” over conversations, rather than trusting someone else […]
