TL;DR
A leak suggested Google could reinstate the Active Edge feature on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. However, upon further examination, it seems the rumor was a false alarm. The leaked case listings for the phones also mention a Pixel 5 feature, but it’s unclear if that’s also a false alarm. Update, September 14, 2021 (11:30 AM ET): It looks like the news below may have been a false alarm.
In March of 2013, Samsung unveiled its newest smartphone: the Samsung Galaxy S4. After the runaway success of the Galaxy S3 from the prior year, Samsung had high hopes for the new flagship. Little did it know that the Galaxy S4 would go on to be not only its best-selling smartphone of all time, but the best-selling phone of Android’s entire history, with sales in excess of 80 million units.
As tablets continue to grow in popularity, we’ve seen many manufacturers turn towards the children’s tablet market. The end result is a near-countless number of kid-friendly options, though most of the devices tend to be from lesser known players in the Android world. This could be changing, as it looks like Samsung may soon introduce a kid-friendly tablet of its own, the Galaxy Tab 3 Kids.
Details of the Tab 3 Kids comes from a newly leaked image (seen in full below), courtesy of Korean retailer MovePlayer.
Samsung is getting into high gear with its wearable devices this year, notably with the release of three smartwatches as successors to 2013’s Galaxy Gear line. The Samsung Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit all run the company’s proprietary Tizen platform, although each device is targeted at different market segments.
We earlier reviewed the Samsung Gear 2, which we found to be a more refined smartwatch than its predecessor, although with a relatively higher price than comparable offerings.

While you can still watch a few Disney movies for kids on Netflix at the moment, this list will go over the absolute best family movies on Netflix.
Don’t worry, I’m not suggesting anything as earth-shattering as quitting Facebook. Just quitting the official Facebook app. Among tech aficionados, the Facebook app is the one app you would never put on a new device because of how bloated and resource-hungry it is, but there are plenty of folks out there that do have it installed. However, a recent ground-swell of anti-Facebook sentiment is seeing more and more people try life without the official app, and liking what they see.
Square Enix seems bound and determined to bring pretty much all aspects of its Final Fantasy universe to mobile. We previously told you about Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition and now Square Enix is back with another release, King’s Knight: Wrath of the Dark Dragon. King’s Knight, a mini game in FFXV, was originally developed in 1986 for Nintendo. The updated version is a vertical scrolling shooter with beautiful visuals.

MediaTek was in the news last month after tracking firm Omdia found that it was the world’s biggest smartphone chipset vendor in 2020. This would be the first time the Taiwanese chipmaker has achieved this goal, with its success attributed to low-end and mid-range segments.
This news got us wondering whether Android Authority readers would be eyeing a MediaTek-powered phone in 2021. We posted a poll last week and here’s how you voted.
Ainol made a big splash last year when it delivered the first tablet to come out with ICS, and, equally impressive, costing only $100.
Google worked with the Chinese company to help them release such a cheap tablet that came with the latest version of Android so soon after release. Now Ainol is doing it again with, Novo 7 Crystal, a new dual-core tablet that is released with Jelly Bean out of the box and has a 7-inch IPS display at 1024×600 resolution.
Though the OnePlus 3T may be an affordable gadget, we all know the Chinese startup is not one to skimp on anything. Their phones offer top-quality experiences for prices that simply can’t be beat. That’s still true of the 3T, even if it’s no longer the latest OnePlus flagship. The OnePlus 3T happens to have a gorgeous unimetal design that competes with the best in the industry. You don’t want to see this investment damaged, right?
