Test du Google Pixel 11 : pourquoi le modèle de base reste mon préféré, même cette année
Google propose des fonctionnalités intelligentes qui font que le Pixel de base reste le modèle à privilégier pour la plupart des utilisateurs. Aveux : j’ai passé ces deux dernières semaines à faire du « speed-dating ». Pas avec des gens, mais avec des téléphones. Certains étaient d’un luxe excessif, proposant des fonctionnalités tape-à-l’œil et des promesses audacieuses qui étaient tout simplement trop somptueuses pour mon mode de vie. D’autres étaient discrètement séduisants. Le nouveau…

How to save money on your phone bill with an MVNO
Lower cost doesn't always mean lower quality. Using a popular postpaid plan with one of the three major phone carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon) isn't cheap. Most of them cost at least $50 per month and can get close to $100/month for a single person. You have to join the priciest plans to take advantage of many "on us" phone deals, and they frequently inflate the cost with bundled extras you might not even…

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is a solid upgrade, but after testing it against other foldables, I wish Google had gone a bit further
Last year's Pixel 10 Pro Fold debuted a few surprising firsts for a foldable. It was the first foldable with IP68 water and dust resistance, and the first with Qi2 magnets inside. And while those were certainly cool, the thick and heavy build was a bit off-putting, and the cameras were more than a little disappointing. This year, Google is slimming everything down, dropping the weight, and upgrading plenty more. While the cameras aren't…

Xiaomi 18 Pro : voici à quoi ressemblent les options de l’écran anti-espion piqué à Samsung
Le leaker polonais Kacper Skrzypek a mis en ligne sur X des captures d’écran (dont un enregistrement vidéo) montrant une fonction que Xiaomi appellerait « Smart privacy display ». En français, cela se traduirait par « Affichage confidentiel intelligent ». En d’autres termes : cette option permettrait de réduire la lisibilité de l’écran pour les personnes autour de vous (en réduisant les angles de vision) sans gêner votre expérience lorsque vous êtes bien face…

XREAL has set the perfect stage for Android XR
