What you need to know Halliday G2 uses the company's new Meeting Flow feature to provide real-time prompts and context as conversations happen. Meeting Flow helps you stay engaged without reaching for your phone, offering live captions, translations, instant recaps, contextual research, and confidence-rated answers through the glasses. The AI spots topic drift, flags unclear decisions, identifies incomplete action items, and generates structured summaries with transcripts after meetings. Most AI meeting assistants have become pretty good at telling you what already happened. Halliday thinks that is solving the wrong problem and has unveiled the Halliday G2, a new breed of AI smart glasses based on a feature called Meeting Flow, which gives you live prompts and contextual information during a conversation rather than producing notes after everyone’s left the room. The new glasses are availabl...

What you need to know A tipster reportedly discovered a new accessibility feature that Google is working on for Gboard called "Sign-to-text." This feature would leverage the user's camera and Google's AI to "translate" sign language into written text for messages or online searches and more. Android has several common accessibility features, and Android 16 helped to refine the hearing aid experience for Bluetooth LE-based models and more. There are a few important accessibility features present on Android that help make devices useful. However, a recent rumor claims that Google is working on another, and it could be its most significant. "Sign-to-text" is a feature that Android Authority claims Google is working on for its keyboard app, Gboard. Within the code of a recent Gboard app version, the publication claims it found a welcome pop-up for "Sign-to-...

Smartphones have become the place where people manage their money, store their memories, organise their travel plans, access work accounts and stay connected with friends and family. With so much personal information concentrated in one place, Android security has naturally become more important than ever, but luckily, strengthening protection doesn't have to involve dramatic lifestyle changes, technical expertise, or constantly worrying about the latest online threat. In fact, some of the most effective ways to improve security occur in the background, helping users stay protected while they continue to browse, message, shop, and work exactly as they always have. TL;DR: Android security is most effective when it works without disrupting everyday usage. Features such as web protection across apps, scam filtering, secure browsing on public Wi-Fi and background threat monitoring help reduce ris...

What you need to know Google Maps is finally bringing a live speedometer to Android Auto, closing a long-standing feature gap with Android phones and Apple CarPlay. The rollout is currently very limited, with reports pointing to a server-side release for select Google Maps beta users on version 26.29.02.946673643. The speedometer appears next to the speed limit indicator and changes color when you exceed the posted limit, making it easier to monitor your speed at a glance. Google is finally checking off one of Android Auto users’ oldest wish list items. Google Maps has had a live speedometer feature on Android phones for a long time and even brought it to Apple CarPlay in 2024, but now it’s starting to show your speed on Android Auto as well. It seems like the rollout is very limited for now. User reports from Reddit suggest that the feature is rolling out to a small number of beta users runnin...

Charging devices can get out of hand, particularly if you have a few phones, notebooks, tablets, and accessories. You can just use the charger that comes in the box with the phone (which in itself is vanishingly rare these days), but a much better choice is to get a dedicated charging station. Going this route will allow you to charge all of your devices at once, and you get much more power than with a single charger — I use UGREEN's Nexode 500W charging station , and its six ports allow me to charge all of my tech with ease. Cuktech is a Chinese charging brand that's slowly gaining momentum; I use its 15 Ultra power bank and 140W charger daily, and its products are just as reliable as UGREEN and Anker. The brand is now making charging stations, and I've been testing the 300W 30 Ultra for the better part of a month now. The 30 Ultra retails for $159 on Amazon , and while that is costl...

Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold All-round upgrades Google is slated to bring a ton of exciting upgrades to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. It is touted to be thinner and lighter, and the switch to a brand-new 2nm platform should solve long-standing performance issues. With Google also set to roll out new imaging modules, the foldable should take great photos. It will need to do all these things to hold its own against the Razr Fold. Motorola Razr Fold ...

I use several chargers throughout the house, and I still rely on the 500W Nexode as my go-to charging station in the office. As good as it is, the charging station is bulky, so I don't use it on my desk. I instead prefer a smaller charger that still gives me the flexibility to charge up to four devices at once, and in recent months, I used Baseus' excellent Nomos 2 , which also has a Qi 2.2 mat. That was before Satechi rolled out its latest GaN charger. The ChargeView 140W is a 4-port charger that's roughly the same size as a regular 140W wall charger, but you get four charging ports in total, and Satechi even managed to fit a tiny panel onto it that shows real-time charging details. The best part is that it costs just $99 on Amazon , which is similar to other 140W chargers I used in recent months. Here are three reasons why the ChargeView 140W is now my go-to desk charger. The Charg...

The budget IEM category has countless choices, and it's the entry-level where things are particularly interesting. ddHiFi is a well-known Chinese outfit, and its latest collaboration with India's Headphone Zone has resulted in the Skyfall and Iris, two IEMs that target the same category. The Iris has a 10mm dynamic driver and costs ₹2,699 ($28) , and the Skyfall has the same 10mm driver alongside a BA driver, and it comes in at ₹3,699 ($38) . Both usually cost ₹300 ($3) more, but with Headphone Zone having a sale , now is the best time to get your hands on either if you're interested. (Image credit: Apoorva Bhardwaj / Android Central) I've used both IEMs interchangeably over the course of the last month, and I tested both with my Fiio M21. I'll get to the sound in a little but, but before that, I want to highlight the design. The Iris has a green hue that looks great, and the ...
