QD-OLED monitors are known for delivering deep blacks by turning off individual pixels completely. In real-world use, though, that advantage doesn’t always hold up. Ambient light reflecting off the screen can wash out those blacks, but Samsung now has a solution. How is Samsung fixing reflections and washed-out blacks on QD-OLED monitors?

Android 17 is shaping up to be quite an important update, especially if you care about camera quality across apps. Google is introducing a new way for phone makers to extend their custom camera features system-wide, which could finally close the gap between stock camera apps and third-party ones. How is Android changing camera access for apps? Up until now, Android has offered a limited set of standard camera extensions like HDR and Night mode to third-party apps. While useful, they barely scratch the surface of what modern smartphone cameras can actually do. With Android 17 Beta 3, Google has…
Android 17 has a cool new trick to keep AI assistants from screaming in your ears, and it fixes a problem that becomes obvious the moment it happens. You turn up your music on headphones, then a voice reply hits at the same level and cuts through everything. The latest beta changes that behavior. Assistant audio no longer rises and falls with your media, so increasing volume for a song or video won’t suddenly make Gemini or another assistant louder too. The effect is immediate in daily use, as voice replies stay at a steady level even when your media…

Android 17 is fixing one of the most irritating parts of using your phone, its internet controls. If you’ve ever tried to switch off Wi-Fi quickly and got pulled into an extra menu instead, this update is aimed right at that moment. In Android 17 Beta 3, Google is changing how those toggles work in Quick Settings. Instead of grouping everything under a single tile, the system now separates Wi-Fi and mobile data, so you can manage each one without going through another screen. It’s a small interface tweak, but it clears up a long-standing usability issue that’s been slowing…
