Samsung crushing the Selfie Game with monstrous 50MP front camera

Samsung is about to crush the selfie camera game with a 50MP sensor in an upcoming handset. Samsung is expected to soon unveil the Galaxy M55 5G, a rebadged variant of Galaxy A55, with some hardware differences.
MSPowerUser reports that Samsung fueled the Galaxy M55 5G with a monstrous 50MP selfie camera. Rather than Exynos, it’s equipped with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor and will likely expand beyond the Indian market.
Pay attention, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is equipped with a 40MP selfie camera. With the Galaxy S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra, Samsung left the megapixel race and introduced a 12MP front camera with improved performance.
If the report is true, Galaxy M55 5G will become the highest resolution front camera phone in Samsung’s history. To be noted, the Galaxy A55 5G uses a 32MP front shooter, the same as its predecessors.
The report also reveals that the Galaxy M55 5G will have a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ screen with Full HD+ resolution, supporting peak brightness of up to 1,000 nits and 120Hz refresh rate.

Google updates Gboard emoji kitchen and Android Auto with new features

Google is bringing some fresh updates to make Gboard and Android Auto even better.
Starting with Gboard, the Emoji Kitchen now has a new “Browse” section. This makes it easier for users to find different emoji sticker combos. You can tap on any emoji and instantly see all the creative mixes available. Plus, there’s a search bar to help you look for specific stickers. This new feature is rolling out first to Pixel devices, with other Android phones expected to get it in the coming months.
On the other hand, Android Auto is now getting the 14.3 beta update. Although there are no big changes yet, this version mainly focuses on fixing bugs and improving performance. Testers have noticed slight speed improvements, but no new features have been spotted so far. Google might be preparing for bigger changes in future updates.
Both these updates show that Google is working hard to make its apps smoother and easier to use. Gboard’s new browsing tool will make messaging more fun, while Android Auto’s small fixes are important for a better driving experience.
If you have a Pixel phone or are part of the Android Auto beta program, you might already see these updates. Otherwise, they should be available to more users soon.

Android’s Find My Device speeds up with UWB coming soon

Google’s Find My Device network for Android has gotten a big boost, making it much quicker to locate misplaced items. Recent checks show it’s now four times faster than it used to be, keeping up with Apple’s AirTags in crowded spots like malls or events. For instance, at CES 2025, a tracker tucked in a bag updated its location just as fast as an AirTag nearby. This speed-up is thanks to more Android users turning on tracking for all locations, not only busy areas, which helps the system spot items more reliably.
In less crowded places, the network can still have trouble since fewer Android phones are nearby to share location signals. But Google’s working on this by nudging users through app alerts to enable tracking in quieter spots. Plus, recent updates to tracker software and apps have made connections more stable and accurate.
Looking ahead, Google’s gearing up to roll out ultra-wideband (UWB) technology. This will let you find items with pinpoint accuracy, even within a room, using cool augmented reality (AR) visuals, much like Apple’s setup. The Moto Tag, a tracker ready for UWB, is already available, just waiting for Google to activate this feature. Not all Android phones support UWB yet, but future models like the Pixel 10 might include it. These changes prove Google’s determined to make its Find My Device network a top choice for tracking lost stuff.
Gmail and Google Photos get new design and useful updates

Google is giving Gmail and Google Photos some fresh updates to make things easier and more user-friendly.
First, Gmail on the web is now getting a new layout option. You can choose between “Cozy,” “Comfortable,” or “Compact” views based on how much space you want between your emails. Google is also adding a setting to control whether your inbox and labels stay on screen or only show up when needed. These changes make it easier to personalize how Gmail looks and feels.
Meanwhile, Gmail for iPhone is getting a visual upgrade. The app now uses Google’s updated design style called “Material 3.” You’ll notice a cleaner look with a rounded search bar at the top, smoother icons, and better spacing. Although the bottom bar and buttons look mostly the same, the overall design feels more modern and easier on the eyes.
Lastly, Google Photos is bringing back a helpful feature. The classic search shortcut that appears in the bottom bar is returning, making it quicker to find your photos. Before this, the shortcut had been removed when Google added the new “Memories” tab. Now, both features work together, letting you browse memories and search with ease.
These updates aim to make Google’s apps feel more useful, clean, and easier to use on both desktop and mobile.
