Just had a look at videos of Samsung’s launch of their One UI 6 beta programme and it appears that things are getting better in terms of the overall UI experience – yeah, I’m one of these strange people who focus on usability rather than fixating for almost an hour over the camera setup. After…

I was hoping that Nothing OS 2.0 would be Android 14 based but with the launch of the Nothing Phone 2.0 the Nothing OS 2.0 is based on Android 13 which will be coming to the Nothing Phone 1 – it’ll be interesting to see whether the kernel is upgraded to a newer version but…

Safari has also been updated to 16.6 however I am still…
