Just like all the leaks and renders predicted, the device will have flat sides with only the buttons sitting on a protruding bit, like the Galaxy A15 and Galaxy A25. The phone will have three cameras with no island at the back whatsoever, and we can see the Yellow color looks lovely in real life. The frame, however, is a more muted hue due to being made of metal, instead of plastic like the Galaxy A54.…

Is Cher’s $1 million royalties claim against Mary Bono strong enough? A judge seems to think so.   At a court hearing Monday, a federal judge said he believes Cher is entitled to receive ongoing composition royalties from songs including “I Got U Babe” and “The Beat Goes On” as outlined in her 1978 divorce agreement with Sonny Bono – despite Sonny’s heirs exercising their right to recapture his underlying copyrights under the federal Copyright Act.

Mere hours ago some CAD-based renders of the upcoming Google Pixel 9 Pro were outed, and now it's time for its smaller and more affordable sibling to get the exact same treatment. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Google Pixel 9. Right off the bat, one thing clearly stands out. Unlike the Pixel 8, the Pixel 9 has three cameras on the rear, one of which obviously has a periscope zoom lens.
