If you were hoping for a last-minute miracle to secure Samsung's most ambitious device yet, you had your chance. The ambitious device I'm talking about is the Galaxy Z Trifold, which went out of stock soon after it was released in the US. It was subsequently discontinued in March 2026, with Samsung quoting high production cost issues. If you weren't able to grab the device during its initial availability run, you were recently in luck.

Netflix isn't content with being one of the primary destinations users go to for long-form content. The streaming giant now also wants to enter the 'doom-scrolling' era and adopt the video format popularized by the likes of TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. This doesn't come as a surprise.

Android has three features that promise to help you focus. For a long time, I had no idea which one to use for what. Do Not Disturb, Focus Mode, and Bedtime Mode live in different parts of Settings. And they mute notifications in slightly different ways. However, Google has never done a good job explaining where one ends and the other begins. I spent months toggling whichever one I found first and hoping for the best. I'd turn on Focus Mode before a meeting, and still get notification sounds.

Google Wallet's ability to autofill details is a convenience, but the same convenience can be a little too eager at times. Imagine a situation where you're trying to fill out a form and your phone starts bringing up sensitive details that haven't been called for. This can be annoying when you're alone, but even more compromising when someone is watching you fill out said form. Google understands that this can be an issue for some, and it is taking relevant action to mitigate the privacy issue.
