*based on leaks and rumors
When Samsung launched the Galaxy Watch Ultra back in 2024, many people thought the device looked similar to the Apple Watch Ultra. We don't think that's the case; Samsung created its own design for the rugged smartwatch—a circle inside a square (a squircle if you like), and it's quite a distinct look.The Galaxy Watch Ultra comes in one size (47.4 mm), and it's made of titanium. There's sapphire crystal on top of the display for extra protection; it has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, so only diamond-like objects can scratch it. The weight of the watch is around 60 grams, but with the rather hefty band included, it fattens up to 93 grams! That's a lot of weight on your wrist.
Another key design difference is the lack of a rotating crown on the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The device relies on two buttons for navigation and an additional customizable Quick Button. Onto the Apple Watch Ultra 3 .
Now, we're into the speculation territory here, but we have a lot of leaked and rumored info about the Apple Watch Ultra 3 . We expect the design to stay largely unchanged compared to the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The bigger screen that's expected could result in an even larger size; the previous model measured 49 x 44 mm and weighed around 62 grams, so we expect the same ballpark for the Apple Watch Ultra 3 . Material-wise, the same titanium + sapphire crystal sandwich is expected on the Ultra 3, so it's pretty similar to what Samsung is doing with the Galaxy Watch Ultra in that regard.

Android Chrome and Photos apps both get a makeover courtesy of Google
Material 3 redesign for the Chrome settings page in Android. | Image credit-Android Police Google is also making some changes to the Google Photos app with the Pixel 10 series about to be unveiled in just days. The changes are in line with Google's Material 3 Expressive design makeovers. The new look was discovered in the app code for version 7.41 of the Google Photos app. Another look at the Material 3 redesigned Chrome settings page for Android. | Image credit-Android Police The Material 3 redesign will allow you to replace the circle that contains an image of your face in Google Photos with various shapes (this is the Material 3 face picker). After selecting the new shape of the "box" you want to contain your photo, you can change the name that the Google Photos app uses to refer to you. This is a more streamlined way to change your name than the current method, which requires you to find your photo under the People and Pets collection and type your name twice. Google doesn't include any hint of these directions anywhere in the app. Google Photos face picker. | Image credit-Forbes New tabs found on the top of the app will allow you to filter out all albums except for those shared by others, or those you've created yourself. Using these filters will stop you from having to scroll through a long list of albums or search for albums by typing in album names in the search bar, and taxing your memory. New filters found on the Material 3 redesign of Google Photos. | Image credit-Forbes The update containing the new Google Photos Material 3 Expressive redesign is rolling out now, although it seems that the Material 3 face picker might need some more work before Google releases it.

Google Messages unsend feature now widely available
Google is slowly making a push with its Messages app and ever since it started supporting RCS messaging, the app gained quite a bit of features, including the ability to send photos in original quality. The most recent one is important, though, as it allows you to unsend messages. Google Messages' delete message prompt Thanks to the RCS (Rich Communication Services) protocol, Google is making it possible to delete sent messages not just on your screen but on the recipient's too. Hints of the feature were first spotted a few months ago in the source code, but Google is now making it available to all Google Messages users. Once you try to delete a message by selecting the message and tapping on the trash can icon, a prompt will pop up asking you to choose between "Delete for everyone" and "Delete for me". Sure, it's a feature that's been available on numerous other messaging apps, but it's a big deal for those who use the native Google Messages app for communication. Via
