The zoom ring of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition may feel “loose”, but Xiaomi describes this as intentional mechanical tolerance to withstand drops and prevent jamming from dust or liquids, without compromising IP resistance or functionality.

A atualização Samsung Health 6.31 melhora a deteção de ressonar ao filtrar ruído ambiente (ventoinhas, trânsito), mas apaga os clipes de áudio antigos. Mantém gráficos e histórico de métricas. Afeta sobretudo quem usa Galaxy Watch 4 ou mais recente para monitorizar o sono.

Apple Health iPhone tips start with connecting your sources (Apple Watch, accessories and apps), organising your dashboard for what matters, controlling permissions and making the most of Trends/Highlights. The result is less noise and more practical decisions based on consistent data.

Os lançamentos Apple 2026 apontam para um ano de transição: iPhone dobrável, iPhone 18 Pro com mudanças de ecrã, Macs com M5 e um MacBook mais barato, além de um salto grande no software com Siri baseada em LLM. Se se confirmar, mexe em compras, upgrades e compatibilidades.

iOS features 26 refine three areas that affect everyday life: battery (adaptive management), notifications (less noise, more context) and accessibility (smarter controls and feedback). The impact is felt especially by those who use iPhone intensively and want less friction.

O suporte Apple Home para aspiradores robô iOS 18.4 chega via Matter e permite controlar modelos compatíveis na app Casa e com Siri. Simplifica rotinas e automações, mas ainda deixa funções avançadas (mapas e zonas) nas apps dos fabricantes.

iOS 26 brings three small but useful improvements to iPhone: more reliable card AutoFill across the system, Visited Places in Apple Maps with end-to-end encryption, and pinned music in Apple Music. These are minor changes that reduce everyday friction.

O iOS 26.2 adiciona ao AirDrop uma camada extra de confirmação: um “código” para emparelhar emissor e recetor. A mudança reduz envios acidentais e ajuda a evitar partilhas indesejadas em locais públicos, afetando quem usa AirDrop com frequência fora de casa.

Before resetting Android to factory settings, first remove all Google accounts from the phone. The reset erases local content, but it can leave the device ‘haunted’ on your Google Account (Play Store, Find Hub and device activity), causing confusion and privacy risks.

A Samsung tem um conjunto de opções “escondidas” chamado Intelligent Wi‑Fi que ajuda o Galaxy a trocar automaticamente entre Wi‑Fi e dados móveis, ou para uma rede Wi‑Fi melhor. Isto reduz quebras e lentidão sem ter de mudar manualmente de rede.

Windows 11 already has tools to work better, be more secure and reduce friction in day-to-day use, but many are hidden in menus and shortcuts. These tricks, from Snap Layouts to passkeys and Copilot, help you get the most out of the system without installing anything.

At a ‘Limitless’ exhibition dedicated to Banksy in London, some touch screens displayed a Windows activation warning. The episode is a public embarrassment and a practical reminder: digital signage and kiosks need licensing, management and maintenance to avoid failing in full view of everyone.

For 2026, Android’s ‘wishlist’ points to seven fronts: equally large batteries across all markets, iPhone-level video, cooler high-end chips, more affordable foldables, telephoto in the mid-range, Pixels without battery problems, and more phones with Linux desktop apps.

As “7 vontades” para Android em 2026 apontam para autonomia igual em todos os mercados, vídeo ao nível do iPhone, menos aquecimento nos topos de gama, dobráveis mais acessíveis, zoom em médios, Pixels sem problemas de bateria e mais telefones capazes de correr apps Linux.

A Google Pixel fan points out five issues Google needs to fix in 2026: audio, ‘safe’ photography, mid-range and formats, persistent bugs, and Tensor performance/efficiency. This matters because it affects daily reliability and the perceived value of a flagship device.

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra was released in China with a clear focus on photography: a physical control ring (on the Leica Edition), a main 1-inch sensor and a 200 MP periscope telephoto lens. It combines a very bright display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and a large battery in a slim body.

A survey in the US suggests that nearly half of people say they are ‘addicted’ to their phone, and that the habit of checking it is constant throughout the day. The issue matters because it affects productivity, sleep, road safety and even decisions about buying and upgrading a smartphone.

A new “dumbphone mode” is gaining traction: instead of ditching the smartphone, many users (especially Gen Z) are simplifying it with launchers, lock screens and iOS/Android features. The idea is to reduce scrolling and notifications without giving up maps, calls and messages.

Xiaomi has launched the Buds 6 in China with Harman tuning and Snapdragon Sound (aptX Lossless), promising better audio quality and up to 35 hours with the case. The announcement is relevant for anyone looking for “half in-ear” earbuds with a focus on sound and noise cancellation.

A Xiaomi anunciou o Watch 5 com ecrã AMOLED circular de 1,54”, eSIM e uma arquitetura de dois chips. Importa porque junta conectividade “quase independente” do telemóvel com sensores de saúde avançados e promessa de autonomia até 6 dias, mirando utilizadores ativos e quem quer menos dependência do smartphone.
