On Samsung could charge $4.99 for Galaxy AI Premium subscription - Android Authority ·
Wait a minute, if you have to pay to use it, and you don't, that means you can delete it, or at least completely disable it. What is up with these ads coming over on top of what I am writing? Stop this!

On Here’s how you can force switch to Google Assistant from Gemini ·
Awesome. Bookmarking to try after I finish my shopping. It would be nice to have my door unlocked when I tell it to, not 75 seconds later, if at all!

On Google Messages is closing in on RCS video call support ·
Nice try, but no it isn't, except for signal, and a couple other "everyone must use our app" apps: https://bestforandroid.com/sms-instant-messaging-apps/

On Google Messages is closing in on RCS video call support ·
No, just no. They can't even do texting correctly, dont even think about video. Since they took over with rcs, they've pretty much botched everything. But now you can change the background color. Who gives a crap! Open the rcs codec and let real developers show you how it's done.

On I've used Android for 15 years — but I'm ready to switch to the iPhone Duo ·
I just made $400 because of this article! I bet 4 of my friends $100 that there will be an article saying I've used Android forever, but the Apple foldable won me over. Predictable as heck. Thanks for the $400, Appl... er, Android Authority! Keep them coming!

On Google Messages has another chat problem users didn’t ask for ·
Gee, never had problems with texting before this rcs crap came about. Never needed any of the 'bonuses' that came along with it, and I sent many texts to groups with androud and apple, as soon as I got a phone that I HAD to enable it, things went south. I'm actually making more phone and video calls than texting now.

On Google's working with your carrier to fix RCS in Messages ·
No, google needs to open the rcs api to real developers so they can make a real messaging app.

On Survey shows a slim minority would consider renting their next Android phone ·
I use a Galaxy Note 8 for my dash cam, and my s22 as a music source for picnics or parties. Why oh why would I want to rent them? Of course I also think leasing a car is ridiculous, but I'm not one who has to have the newest things. Heck, in the last 34 years, I've owned 2 cars, and I look at phones the same way, use them until you can't.

On Google Pixel 11 vs. Galaxy S26: 6 reasons I'm buying Pixel this year ·
Yet the article above this one says pretty much the opposite. I haven't read both articles yet, but it is kind of neat to have different opinions of the same device, on the same site! It allows the readers to look at the device from more than one viewpoint, and maybe it'll help future purchases.
