Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR This week, early testers spotted Windows 11 ads within File Explorer. Microsoft has now said those ads were “an experimental banner that was not intended to be published externally and was turned off.” Microsoft does not commit one way or the other to keep File Explorer ad-free. Earlier this week, within the latest Windows 11 test build, beta users found an advertisement in File Explorer.

Phones look kind of boring these days, but it wasn’t always this way. In the early 2000s, wacky designs were all the rage and it often felt like no two phones looked the same. Now, in 2020, many are hoping that foldables will once again put the fun back into smartphone design. With all the recent attention on retro-style clamshell foldable phones like the Motorola Razr and Galaxy Z Flip, it begs the question: could we also see the return of some of the more out-of-the-box designs from the pre-smartphone mobile era?

The very first Angry Birds game was launched in December 2009. Since then, it has collected over 100 million downloads in the Google Play Store and currently holds almost 3 million 5-star reviews. This application is off the charts and continues to be one of the most entertaining casual games around, but we do have to say a successor was due after 6 years. We have seen plenty of other Angry Birds iterations, but those were really just themed titles.

Android 6.0 saw the introduction of fingerprint authentication, a new security feature that allows users to confirm their identify with a single touch. While this new security feature is most commonly used to secure the user’s lockscreen, fingerprint authentication can also be a useful addition to your apps, allowing you to secure sensitive features such as in-app payments, or replace password-and-username screens with a much more convenient single-touch sign in.In this article, I’m going to show you exactly how to implement fingerprint authentication in your own apps, by walking you through the process of creating a sample app that registers when the user places their fingertip against their device’s touch sensor, processes their input, and then displays a range of toasts depending on whether the fingerprint authentication has succeeded or failed.

Motorola Moto X Pure EditionEven though it strays pretty far from the original Moto X's philosophy, you really can't go wrong with the Moto X Pure Edition. The winning combination of high-end specs, great build quality, useful software features and an impressive camera make up for the Moto X's few shortcomings. Battery life isn't the greatest and we've experienced a small amount of performance hiccups. But if you can get past that, the new Moto X is probably the phone for you.

Eric Zeman / Android Authority That Samsung has given up on its Note lineup in favor of foldable phones is something we all know by now. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 released last year with a custom S Pen, an under-display camera, higher durability, a water-resistant design, and a $200 price cut compared to its predecessor. It’s still one of the best foldable phones you can buy right now, not only because of all the upgrades it brought but also because it offers the longest software updates in the market.
