Are you familiar with Smart Stay, one of Samsung’s features that keeps the display on if you’re looking at it? XDA-Developers reported on Wednesday that Google is toying around with something similar in Android Q beta 4. Called “Screen Attention,” the feature will use the front camera to see what your eyes are looking at. If you’re staring at your screen, the software will know to keep the screen on. If you’re staring into the distance, however, the display will time out as it normally would.

TL;DR Three new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 teasers hit YouTube today. Each teaser focuses on an aspect of the Note 9: its battery life, storage capacity, and processing speed.

However, we have so much leaked info on the device already that you don’t need much of an imagination to know what it will look like, at least probably.

David Imel / Android Authority TL;DR Google has confirmed that the Pixel 5’s screen gaps are part of the phone design. Owners feared that the gaps, which are noticeable between the screen and body, are a defect. The firm also confirmed that the gaps do not impact the Pixel 5’s water and dust resistance. Soon after the Google Pixel 5 made its debut last month, buyers took to online forums over concerns about a possible design defect — gaps were spotted between the phone’s screen and body.

Have you just got the HTC 10 and can’t work out where the SIM and microSD cards go? Maybe you need to take either out as you’re selling your phone or want to transfer media to your computer? If you’re in a muddle, fear not as our quick and easy guide will talk you through everything you need to know.

It can get really frustrating.

Nothing is more refreshing than having the chance to take a peek at different local places or even distant parts of the world without actually having to deal with the hassles of traveling. Say for example, you want to see the recently opened Sky Tree Tower in Japan, but you don’t have the luxury of time to go out of the country and leave your job. Perhaps you’d settle on just letting it pass, while hoping that someday, the chance would come knocking on your door.
