Google tests improvement for popular Pixel lock screen feature
What I love about the Pixel line is that it feels as though Google is always looking to improve the UX (User experience). Constantly updating apps to make them easier to use is one example of this, and the Now Playing feature is another. How many times have you heard a song and couldn't remember the title or the name of the artist who performed it? Or perhaps you're hearing a song for the first time, love it, and want to know more about the tune so you can hear it again? I guess if I had to pick one word for what Google offers to users with the Pixel line, it would be convenience .
The update for Now Playing will allow a Pixel user to see album art in a search bar. | Image credit-Android Authority Tapping on the name of the song listed by Now Playing takes you to your Now Playing history page, which lists the songs that the feature has recently heard in the background. But tapping on the song in Now Playing could soon show you something else. Android Authority recently checked out an Android System Intelligence update and found that tapping the song in Now Playing, instead of taking you to your Now Playing history, brings up a bar with the song title and artist name in the middle and the album art on the left.

You can visit your favorites list with a tap on the right side of the bar and easily add or delete a song from that list with a single tap. And you can still get to your Now Playing history with a double tap. This is something that Google is working on, although there is no estimate when it might appear on your Pixel device.

HMD, licensee of the Nokia phone brand, is hanging up on the U.S. phone market
On Threads, Wired's Julian Chokkattu shared a statement from HMD that was released a few days ago. The company is known for licensing the Nokia name since 2016 for use on Android smartphones, feature phones, tablets, and accessories. In the statement, HMD says that it is "scaling back" its U.S. operations. Noting that it has a priority to ensure a seamless transition for its customers and business partners, HMD says it will honor warranties, continue to provide service for existing products, and provide full support globally. The company says that the "challenging geopolitical and economic environment" has led it to cut back on its U.S. operations. We assume that these "geopolitical and economic" issues are related to the tariffs that the U.S. is imposing on products being imported into the United States. While the company is using the phrase "scaling back," it seems more likely that this statement marks the end of HMD's business selling phones and other related consumer electronics in the U.S. HMD also mentioned that it deeply values the contributions of its U.S. colleagues who are affected by the company's action and says that it will continue to help support them during the transition. Some of the Nokia phones built by HMD brought back older, popular Nokia feature phones that were big hits before the iPhone took smartphone popularity to a new level. Those included the Nokia 3310 (originally released in 1997 and re-released by HMD in 2017) and the Nokia 8110 (launched in 1996 and re-released in 2018 as the Nokia 8110 4G). The latter was the "Banana phone" used in "The Matrix." The Nokia 3310 re-issue brought back the iconic "Snake game made famous with the original release. The five 12MP cameras on the back of the 2019 Nokia 9 made by HMD. | Image credit-PhoneArena In 2019, HMD brought back the PureView name originally used on the Nokia 808 PureView in 2012. The Nokia 9 PureView had so many issues, we gave it a 4 out of 10. The processor in this 2019 flagship was from 2018; there were issues with the camera software, and the battery quickly ran out of power during a typical day. In January 2024, HMD decided to stop using the Nokia name and sold its new phones under the HMD moniker, which stands for Human Mobile Devices. The Wired's Julian Chokkattu shares HMD's goodbye message to the U.S. on Threads. | Image credit-Threads HMD's licensing agreement with Nokia ends in 2026. Unless another company wants to give the name another shot in the highly competitive smartphone market, it appears that Nokia will soon join BlackBerry as two early leaders in the smartphone industry that couldn't keep up with the changes to the device that were first made by by Apple in 2007.

The company will shortly be releasing its own internet search browser to tackle Google Chrome and other popular alternatives, in an attempt to further capitalize on various despite its recent actions against ad blocking browser extensions, retains a massive lead in the market. It's simple, has an intuitive user interface, and many people are too entrenched into the Google ecosystem to want to plans to compete by offering consumers a very different way of searching the internet, according to Reuters . Obviously, AI will play a pivotal role in this new experience. The idea is to provide users with answers in a chat box, instead of them having to open websites will also be able to follow up on the search results by asking the AI further questions, and getting concise answers in return. Such a solution, much like the ChatGPT app that currently exists, will also allow the user to get the AI to craft charts, lists, or other elements from the search the fact that an ongoing antitrust trial may force Google to stop being able to pay Apple to remain the default search engine in Safari only adds to the former's woes. However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows on OpenAI's part either, and this proposed browser is likely to face critique and starters, the entire premise further takes away traffic from websites, similar to Google's currently available AI-powered search. I think that it's very likely that there will be an uproar over this, and some users will boycott the new browser out of principle. There's also the possibility that some sites may ban the browser entirely, just like they block OpenAI's web crawlers from exploring their Google can very easily come up with something similar. The company's flagship AI model, Gemini, has improved drastically, and is pretty much on par with ChatGPT. As mentioned above, AI-powered Google search already exists, and it wouldn't be too difficult for the company to quickly make a similar these complications, I think that ChatGPT's soaring usage is enough proof to know that OpenAI's new browser will likely be a commercial success.

iPhone 17 Pro stars in new hands-on images
Vlad, 10 July 2025 The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, coming this September most likely, will bring with them a redesign of the rear, where there's going to be a massive camera island taking up the entire width of the device, Poco-style (in fairness, that's Poco from a while back, the Xiaomi sub-brand has since given up on such designs). Today a couple of new hands-on images have been leaked depicting what is probably an iPhone 17 Pro dummy unit. Regardless of the fact that there are no electronics inside, this should be 1:1 accurate size-wise and design-wise to the final product, so the images are very useful - we can take another look at that camera 'visor' thing. iPhone 17 Pro looks so good — Majin Bu (@MajinBuOfficial) July 10, 2025 The cameras themselves seem to be in the exact same positions as they were in the iPhone 16 Pro, they're just part of a much larger island now. Otherwise, this looks like a recent iPhone, there's not much more to say. It's been rumored to switch to an aluminum frame along with the iPhone 17 Pro Max, ending the years-long experiments with stainless steel and titanium. There will also apparently be a repositioned Apple logo on the back, now centered between the bottom of the phone and the bottom of the camera island in what is surely going to be quite a controversial design decision on the internet.
