Both Pixel Watch 2 and Galaxy Watch 7 are great devices but the latter is a tad bit better at everything. Samsung Health is more comprehensive and completely free whereas Fitbit has fewer features, some of which are locked behind subscriptions. The Pixel Watch 2 is slightly more accurate in terms of tracking, but Galaxy Watches are not far off and more than makes up with Samsung Health's features. Overall, the Galaxy Watch 7 is a better pick.

Minecraft has a lot of biomes and there are some I feel need changing in the 1.22 update. The first Minecraft biome I think needs to be changed is the forest biome. It is very bland and some fallen trees and stumps will help greatly. Desert is intentionally barren, but it should be also more interesting with new cactus flower textures, palm trees and meerkats. Many ocean biomes are dull and should get more colorful plants and mobs. Keep reading to know them all and my suggestions here.
I would really love Minecraft 1.22 to be the End update and in this article I'll be sharing five features I'd love to see in it. For starters, the End biomes should be improved drastically and enhanced with new blocks, mobs and vibes. The building and decorative blocks should represent the alien world and be filled with colors and patterns. There should be new mobs that have unique characteristics and can teleport. Imagine a new structure over the void with the new mace variant, armored wings, smithing template or an epic music disc inside.

If you're trying to look for a good reliable compact phone under $800, the Galaxy S24 beats the Pixel 9 to emerge victorious. From a better LTPO-backed display to way more power with the Exynos 2400 and even slightly better cameras, the Galaxy S24 has got you covered on all fronts. It's a much more versatile device than the Pixel 9, thereby making it an easy suggestion. The only things that the Pixel 9 has going for it are a refreshing new design and those cool new AI features.
The Pixel 9 is easily one of the best Pixels we have received. However, when you start looking at the big problems that Pixels have been infested with, it just feels like a phone that's the best of the worst. The slightly improved connectivity, better design and slew of AI features are just not enough to overlook the miserly upgrade in performance and underwhelming cameras. For more details, read our in-depth review here!
Enough is Enough: Google, This Wear OS Feature Needs a Fix ASAP

Wear OS is cut for my usage but one thing I despise about the smartwatches is the unresponsive or excessively responsive tilt-to-wake features. It not only affects the battery life but could be quite annoying when it doesn't work. However, one of the best solutions to this is to add a tilt-to-wake sensitivity setting to Wear OS.
In this list, we dig into all the new features that are introduced on WhatsApp in the month of August.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Gen have similar features but differ in design and sound quality. The Buds 3 Pro has a more angular design and superior sound quality due to its high-quality audio codec, while the AirPods Pro 2nd Gen has a more comfortable fit and better spatial audio. Both have excellent noise cancellation and transparency modes, with the Buds 3 Pro having a longer battery life.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro boast an overhauled design, improved mic pickup, and high-quality sound. They support SBC, AAC, Samsung Scalable, and Samsung Seamless codecs for high-res audio streaming. The Adaptive Noise Cancellation is impressive, while the Ambient mode can be unreliable. The Live Interpreter AI feature is a hit-or-miss. Battery life lasts for more than 6 hours with ANC turned on.

I have been a devoted Dota 2 players with over 10000 hours in the game while also having enough experience in the shooter genre.
