Summary: Android 16 Beta 4 brings a new feature called “robust open/close detection” exclusively to the Pixel Fold and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, helping them better detect their folded state, especially when using magnetic accessories like MagSafe. Designed to prevent glitches like unwanted screen transitions caused by hinge sensor interference, the setting can be enabled under Display & Touch. However, Google warns it may slightly impact battery life.

When Apple announced the iPhone 16e back in February, many of us were puzzled and thought, “who would buy this?” It has a single camera, which is an okay camera but not great. It doesn’t have MagSafe, it has the older notch display, among many other things. It’s also pretty pricey for what it offers, costing $599. But there’s one thing we all forgot – not everyone wants or needs all of these bells and whistles.

Summary: Google is quietly preparing a major visual overhaul for the Android Settings app, bringing bold new colors and a more expressive design — and it looks a lot like ColorOS. While it’s not live in Android 16 Beta 4 by default, hidden flags reveal a redesigned layout with color-coded sections that could debut alongside Material Design 3 at Google I/O.

The Google Pixel 9a is available at Amazon and almost any other retailer you can imagine. There are some great Pixel 9a deals available as well, but one of the advantages to buying from Amazon is the fast shipping and the fact that the phone is unlocked. Meaning that you can use it on any carrier you wish. Amazon is selling the Pixel 9a in all four colors: Iris, Peony, Porcelain, and Obsidian. However, it is only selling the 128GB model.

Perhaps one of the most popular “mid-range” phones on the market is Google’s Pixel a-series. And that’s generally because it offers similar performance to the more expensive Pixel devices, while costing just $499. But this year, the Pixel 9a has grown a bit, while keeping the same price tag. It now has a 6.3-inch display, as well as being thicker with a flush camera, which means that the size and weight has changed. The Google Pixel 9a size is 154.7 x 73.3 x 8.9mm.
