Nail Sadykov, who posts his leaks on Telegram, was able to get the controls showing on the screen of a Pixel device. He took screenshots showing the Flashlight turned off in Quick Settings, and another showing the Flashlight turned on in Quick Settings with a percentage indicator showing the intensity level of the light at 46%. The middle image had a slider for the flashlight titled "Flashlight Strength."
To make the flashlight brighter and increase the intensity of the light, you swipe your finger to the right on the slider. To reduce the intensity of the flashlight, you swipe your finger to the left on the slider. However, there is a strong possibility that the final version of this feature will have controls that don't look anything like the ones that we are seeing now.
Pixel users hope that they don't have to wait for the September Pixel Feature Drop to increase the intensity of the flashlight on their devices because the default setting for the "torch" on a Pixel phone is only a dim 50%. But what if we told you that there is a way to hike the intensity of your Pixel's flashlight right now without having to wait for the update? It's a simple hack and you'll be able to increase your Pixel's flashlight intensity to 100% right now.
Use the Google Magnifying app to increase the intensity of your Pixel's flashlight app to 100%" | Image credit-PhoneArena The first step requires you to install the Google Magnifying app on your Pixel. Once you've done that, open the app, tap the flashlight icon along the lower right corner of the screen, and swipe up on the white flashlight icon all the way to the top. You should notice an immediate improvement in the intensity of your Pixel's flashlight and you can adjust it if the ight is too bright.

iPhone 17 Pro now rumored to have a cleaner design with improved connectivity
Receive the latest iOS news Subscribe By subscribing you agree to our terms and conditions and privacy policy iPhone 17 Apple will apparently take advantage of the larger iPhone 17 Pro camera island to improve connectivity and the overall Bu, who has been the source of many iPhone leaks, claims that the iPhone 17 Pro will borrow a structural design cue from the Apple Watch Ultra . On the wearable, antennas are integrated strategically to optimize reception and signal the moment, the iPhone's antennas are placed on the frames. These antenna lines are quite visible and, quite frankly, not a great even if you don't mind the placement of the antennas, they can interfere with 5G and Wi-Fi 7 signals, as their position makes them susceptible to getting covered by a user's hands. Additionally, most users slap cases on their devices, which can again lead to signal issues. Internal metal components can also interfere with the radiation patternThat's perhaps why Apple has decided to relocate the antennas around the camera module, which is going to be bigger than the one on the iPhone 16 Pro , and will thus have more space for repositioning should lead to better signal reception, particularly in dense areas. We can also look forward to lower latency, which should speed up streaming and data will also make for a clear side frame design with fewer breaks. The freed-up space might be utilized for other components, such as the thermal Majin Bu has a respectable track record, they don't always get things right, so this rumor is best taken with a pinch of is shaping up to be a pretty decent upgrade. In addition to a new rear design, the new device is also likely to feature an improved camera system and a faster changes will come at a cost , though, with multiple rumors indicating that the new handsets will be pricier than the current generation.

T-Mobile asked by review board to drop unclear savings ads in ongoing carrier battle
T-Mobile has been asked to stop making certain "switch and save" claims after an advertising review panel found they could mislead customers. The decision came from the National Advertising Review Board (NARB) following a challenge from Verizon. At the center of the case were ads stating, "Families can switch and save 20% vs. the other big guys plans plus streaming services" and "Switch and save versus AT&T and Verizon 's comparable plans plus streaming." NARB found that these claims, while suggesting significant savings, were unclear about how those savings were calculated. The review followed an earlier case from the National Advertising Division (NAD), which also raised concerns. NAD determined that the phrase "plus streaming" did not make it clear that T-Mobile was adding the cost of optional streaming subscriptions to competitors' monthly plan prices to make its own prices appear lower. According to the panel, many customers could reasonably believe the comparison was based on the cost of the mobile service alone. T-Mobile made some changes during the process, including adding more explicit references to streaming services and updating disclosures. But NARB agreed with NAD that these changes were not enough. The panel said the "plus streaming" wording was too vague and did not clearly explain how the price comparisons worked. NARB also recommended that T-Mobile avoid implying that: All T-Mobile plans cost less than similar AT&T or Verizon plans plans cost less than similar or plans Every customer would save money or save 20% by switching The panel did not support one NAD finding that the ads implied Verizon charged a mandatory "similar streaming services" fee. T-Mobile said it disagreed with the panel's decision but would follow its recommendations. Major carriers regularly run ads comparing their prices, coverage, and perks to rivals. These claims can be persuasive for customers deciding whether to switch. However, they also attract close scrutiny from competitors and watchdog groups. Similar disputes have been brought against AT&T and Verizon in the past, showing that challenges over marketing language are common in the telecom industry. For us consumers, this ruling is a reminder that savings claims often depend on extra factors like streaming subscriptions or limited-time promotions. While T-Mobile still offers competitive value, comparing only headline prices can be misleading. Reading the details and understanding what is included remains the best way to decide if switching is truly worth it.
