Pixel setup could soon include a key step to keep scammers off your phone calls (APK teardown) Credit: C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Google seems to be planning to integrate Scam Detection and Call Screen features into the Pixel device setup process. Currently, these protective features need to be manually enabled by users, so there’s a fair chance many people don’t know these features exist on their phones in the first place. This change could thus increase user adoption of these crucial security features. Google announced Scam Detection features for Pixel devices through the Google Phone app in November 2024. This feature alerts the user in real-time about a possible scam happening to them during a call if it detects common patterns associated with scams. Similarly, Pixel’s Call Screen & Spam Protection is an absolute time-saver, allowing Google Assistant/Gemini to screen your calls, answer them with AI-powered replies, and even decline spam calls automaticall...

Deals: Poco F7 arrives, Pixel 9a, Nothing Phone (3a) Pro, Realme GT 7 on sale The Poco F7 launched this week, but there are plenty of phones near its price range that should be considered before committing to a purchase.

We have known that the Infinix Hot 60 family is right around the corner for some time now, but we expected a bit more formal release than a random reader tip in our inbox, informing us that the Hot 60i is already on sale in Bangladesh.

Regardless, the seller has a conveniently rich specs page. The Hot 60i resembles the Hot 50i, or rather the Hot 50, as it features a trio of "camera" modules on the back.

The Poco F7 Series is here, and as usual, Xiaomi has released not one, but two near-flagship killers - the Poco F7 and the Poco F7 Pro.
