Staffers don’t know whether the site will shut down — but managing editor Derrek Lee confirms to The Verge that all remaining staff were laid off today. EIC Shruti Shekar confirms she’s been laid off, senior editor Harish Jonnalagadda and senior content producer Nicolas Sutrich wrote they’d been laid off, and senior editor Namarah Saud Fatmi also appears to be gone.

Android Central’s masthead was already down to six staffers after layoffs earlier this year. Earlier today, owner Future PLC announced it would pause its share buyback and focus on reducing debt.

 

After a one and a half year selection process, the new name of the operating system formerly known postmarketOS has been announced during the mystery talk of our very own conference. From now on this project is known as Nura!

Nura comes as an abbreviation of Nuraghe, which are ancient (3000 BC and older) granite structures found in Sardinia in Italy, many of which still stand today. The deeper meaning is the stability and the resistance to millenniums, which fits well with the our project as the idea has been from the start to keep devices our OS runs on useful for a long time. The name was contributed by Davide Depau as part of our initial request for community contributions for the new name. Thanks a lot Davide!

TL;DR

  • Samsung has acknowledged its less-than-frequent Google Play system updates on Galaxy devices.

  • It has said that it only delivers software after testing, refuting Google’s plan to split updates into crucial and optional updates.

  • However, it has said that it will resume updates in January 2026.

Summary:

Basically, this is a hand-on view of the phone which has a 10k battery, 185hz display. A cooling fan in the camera casing. Flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite gen 5 in a body size similar to the Iphone 17 pro Max but with double the battery.

Honor claims it can do 5hrs of continuous gaming without any frame drops – the reviewer refused to verify this claim since apparently he has a life XD.

Anyway, the display has a PWM frequency of 5920hz which is super high. So eye sensitive folks may be good. Alongside 3000nits of high brightness.

The speakers are rated 2nd best according to ben, behind Poco F8 Ultra.

This is a china only launch so software is china centric with lots of bloat and launches with android 15 out of the box.

It has 3 cameras 50mp main shooter, 50mp telephoto, 12mp ultrawide.

The telephoto is good but not flagship territory. Ultrawide is ok.. It also has a 50mp selfie camera being a gaming phone and all for some reason..

Battery can be charged at 80w and supports bypass charging when gaming.

It's named Honor Win for some reason. Maybe, windows game emulation?
