Best Samsung Galaxy S22+ screen protectors in 2023
Your Galaxy S22+ has a nice large screen that needs protecting against nice large cracks
The Galaxy S22+ might not claim the crown as Samsung’s ultimate smartphone, but it holds a special place in the hearts of many.

The latest Android 14 beta includes a handy tweak to the At a Glance widget
Swipe between pages directly from the lock screen
Among the myriad benefits of owning a Pixel smartphone is access to exclusive features like At a Glance — Google's dedicated lock screen and home screen widget — offering quick access to information on local weather, package deliveries, doorbells, upcoming events, and several other metrics. In its current form on Android 13, the At a Glance home screen widget provides swipeable pages when there is more than one alert pending in the stack. But users are unable to do so with the Always On Display (AOD) enabled or from the lock screen. But that seems to be changing now, at least with Android 14 Beta 4, with the At a Glance lock screen widget gaining swipeable cards, denoted with dots when there's more than one alert pending.

Smartphones are personal objects. We carry them around all day and use them to manage the minutiae of our lives via calendars, contacts, and social media.

The Paranoid Android team began working on the Android 13 version of their ROM shortly after the release of the OS in August 2022.

The Nord N30 is a scratch magnet, so you'll want options to protect it
While the OnePlus Nord N30's performance holds its own with the best budget Android devices of 2023, its build quality leaves a lot to be desired.

The Google Chrome pop-up blocker is useful for blocking annoying ads. But sometimes, it can be the problem instead of the solution.
