To enable the feature click on the gear icon at the top of the website. Select the “Enable Dark mode” option and the interface should change to the new theme.

TL;DR
The Pixel 7 series will likely feature the exact same displays as the 6 series. The only significant change will be a slightly smaller Pixel 7 display compared to the 6. Users hoping for a new-fangled display for the Pixel 7 series may be in for a disappointment, with new rumors indicating the display will be largely unchanged. The Pixel 6 series featured a significant upgrade to the display tech Google used compared to previous versions of the Pixel line.

TL;DR
A new report details smartphone brands’ performance across each region of the globe. Samsung continued to lead in most regions, while Apple was the most dominant in its home market. 2020 was a tough year for smartphone companies, and the shipment figures prove it. But while some firms weathered the storm and in some cases saw exponential growth, others fell further down the pecking order.
Update, February 27: After dropping the TV services requirement from its unlimited plan a couple of weeks ago, AT&T has now added two new ways to enjoy unlimited data.
AT&T Unlimited Plus is the option for those who still want video services like DirecTV, DirecTV Now or U-verse TV. This starts at $90 for the first line and includes HD video streaming, 10 GB of tethering (down to 128 Kbps after the first 10 GB), and LTE speeds for the first 22 GB of data (throttled thereafter).
Update, May 9: Here’s a handful of hands-on images with the new red Samsung Galaxy S9, courtesy of Ice Universe over on Weibo.
The device is being marketed by Chinese celebrities and comes with matching red Yves Saint Laurent lipstick — what appears to be an attempt to position it as a luxury device for women.
While there is no news of an international release, it makes sense for China, where the color red symbolizes good luck.
When Barnes & Noble announced that it had partnered with Samsung to try and salvage its endangered Nook line of e-book readers, things seemed mildly interesting. Samsung has an untold number of tablets available for purchase, so the prospect of a dedicated book reader seemed like it had some potential promise.
After the dust settled however, it was clear the results weren’t quite what some had hoped: the Galaxy Tab Nook was simply a standard Galaxy Tab 4 pre-loaded with B&N Nook software and the Nook UI replacing TouchWiz.
