On Samsung Keyboard could get two new Galaxy AI tools with One UI 9.5 - Android Authority ·
Pretty much the same thing here as well. I haven't used or have never actually used Samsung keyboard I've always downloaded gboard. As for the AI stuff I use Gemini and the Google search. I actually do not think that I use anything that Samsung does AI related at all. Actually I read an article just the other day where they're going to start charging like 499 or 15 bucks a month to have the AI stuff in Gemini anyway and part of it was in Samsung keyboard too.

On Samsung is focusing 70% of its Galaxy S27 production on the Ultra and Pro - Android Authority ·
I actually hate the privacy screen on the s26 ultra. I think it somehow messes up the screen in itself. And supposedly the s27 is supposed to have a completely redesigned privacy screen which is supposed to be even better. And while hardware is not a major concern for myself software is. They removed the read notifications ability to singular change it to briefly and to full details now it has to be for all of it and not as a singular. And then on top of that like clearly cannot separate the read notification as an individual volume level. So if I'm listening to music and I turn the music down low so it can be in the low background it also turned down the notification which then I could potentially miss it. Most of their software is kind of annoying.

The only question that I have is if they're going to be a model without the s pen. I want a Samsung s27 ultra without the s pen. I hate it I don't use it and never will never have. That takes up so much space in my phone right now that could be devoted to something else.

Honestly I don't think I use any of the AI stuff at all. I asked for you gboard and not Samsung keyboard. No I don't know what features they even offer of AI on a keyboard. The rest of the stuff I do not use I hate that now briefing. I don't understand what the point is.

On Google Messages is closing in on RCS video call support ·
As cool as this is it's not really that great. The problem still stems from people who do not use Google messages. We need to skip all of this part proprietary apps and have all company and developers work with a universal messaging and phone system and then different companies can add additional features and skins to them. I'm so sick and tired of not being able to do a phone call from my Android to an iPhone and have live video. It's 2026 and it's getting to be quite annoying.

On The Fairphone Gen 6 Plus is officially available in US, no middleman needed ·
I also want to point out this is the thing concept as those laptops with replaceable parts. The last that I heard they have already made several revisions to the original chassis in which those parts aren't even available anymore. Would you just goes to show that you are purchasing a laptop in which you will likely never upgrade but you're doing it because the idea of upgrading is there. It is a trend it is a fad it is not something that we actually need. If you're retaining a laptop that's more than 10 years old then you are outdated by now.

I think this is stupid. The phones made today are going to last at least until their end of life which for my phone which is an s26 ultra will have 7 years of support and I'm 100% certain that my phone will last not long if not 10 years. At this point in time bones are so much better than they were five or even 10 years ago. Screen don't crack as often and batteries last a super long time. Unless you're keeping your phone for 10 or 20 years there's really no need for any of this replaceable part. By the time your phone reaches 5 to 10 years old it will be so outdated and old that it would be obsolete and not worthy of it. With the changing technology in the speeds of cellular coverage and data your 10-year-old phone that has 2G won't even work anymore. So I don't understand why replaceable phones are on people's minds.? Really the cost should come down rather than being as expensive as they are. My phone $1,200 and I have three of them. I mean that's a substantial investment for the phones. There's no way in hell I would want to replace a part on it.

On Google Messages is getting much stricter about pinning chats ·
This is very similar to the phone app in which you can pin specific people up there as well.

On Storage upgrades cost too much, and we need microSD cards back ·
Laugh out loud. Even if you keep your phone for the 7 years of the Samsung support service. You're never going to deplete the battery or really ruin it as much. I find this laughable in today's age. Now what we do need is bigger batteries but we can't do that because airline restrictions.

I had Google voice for I don't know 15 years or something like that. And then one day I just let it expire. The worst decision ever because that phone number was attached to my Instagram account and it took forever to get my Instagram account back. I finally got it back yet that phone number still lingers even though all my two factor authentications are on my actual phone phone number.

If my phone crops out everything that's important to me it's already backed up via the cloud. I mean and this is a free service. I mean I don't need all the apps for any of the app data. Any photos that I want have already backed up to the cloud. Any Google messages is already backed up to Google. Literally everything is already backed up to Google.
