Rejoice: The Samsung Galaxy S25 supports seamless updates!

The S25 is the first Samsung flagship to support seamless updates, letting them take OTA updates in the background.

More details on what this means can be found in this article.
Big news: Samsung and Google are working on AR Glasses powered by Android XR to compete with Meta!
BTW: Android 16 Beta 1 might be coming tomorrow…

Google told me that the Pixel 9 will get beta access to Android’s improved LE Audio support for hearing aids tomorrow (Jan 23)…and in their press release, they said these improvements will be available through the Android 16 beta.

That means it's likely Beta 1 is coming tomorrow, though Google wouldn't explicitly confirm that. Still, that’s not too surprising since Google already said it’d come sometime in January.
Samsung's opened pre-orders for the Galaxy S25!

Big news: Google has just announced that Android will soon make ALL apps resizable on large screen devices!

Currently, apps can lock themselves to portrait orientation or certain aspect ratios, which sucks for large screen devices like tablets, Chromebooks, and upcoming XR devices.

On large screen devices, Android 16 will ignore apps' requests to restrict resizing and orientation changes. This behavior applies to apps that target API 36 but doesn't apply to games. Apps can opt out in Android 16 but this opt-out will be removed in the next Android release.

Google is previewing these changes in Android 16 Beta 1.
