Designed specifically for the coming generation of autonomous driving cars, Goodyear unveiled two concepts that are miles ahead of today’s tires in terms of technology and safety, one with a shape resembling a children’s kickball that will allow a car to move in all directions.

Most companies are always late to the update game. While Nexus devices and a few others have been running Marshmallow for months, most OEMs are still working to get their flagships updated. Samsung is not the slowest one out there, but they’re far from quick. Thankfully, a Marshmallow update roadmap has leaked that suggests that Samsung’s updates are very close.
A bunch of Samsung devices will reportedly be getting the Marshmallow update in the next few months, even older devices released in 2014. It’s nice to see Samsung supporting older flagships and even non-flagship devices, as Android 6.0 will offer performance improvements and, most importantly, significant security improvements.
Other Samsung devices will be getting the update too, like the Samsung Galaxy A7, but there are no specific times for those devices (or even a concrete list). If you don’t see your device on the list, all hope is not lost.

The team behind Google Photos has announced a new update for the service’s Android app today. This has started rolling out through the Play Store, but since Google loves staging these things it might take a few days before it reaches you.
The new version of Photos brings with it a bottom navigation bar, which lets you quickly jump to the Assistant, Photos, or Albums views. The bottom bar is reminiscent of the one introduced with the latest redesign of the Google+ app for Android, and as such it might not go down well for some, especially since it’s always present.
The other new thing in the latest Photos release is that aforementioned Albums section. This is in fact the old Collections view, only renamed – based on user feedback, it turns out. The Albums area now comes with a scrolling carousel on top, giving you “easy access to your shared albums, people, places, things, animations, collages, movies, and device folders”, according to Google.
All of these changes are on their way to the iOS version of the Google Photos app too, but for now they can only be found on…

A pesar de que se han terminado los lanzamientos de la serie Xperia Z, Sony ha cumplido con su promesa de actualizar la línea de los Z5 a Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Por ello, Sony ha empezado a hacer el update a esta versión en los móviles Sony Xperia Z5, Z5 Compact y Z5 Premium.
No toda la parte de la noticia es realmente buena, de hecho no lo es para ninguno de nosotros aún, a no ser que viváis en Japón. Ésto se debe a que la actualización a la última versión de software tan sólo la pueden realizar aquellos consumidores que posean un Sony Xperia Z5 y sean del país nipon.
Ya que aún no nos va a llegar esta última versión de Android a los europeos, – y parece que todavía podría ir para largo – por lo menos hemos podido comprobar gracias a unas capturas que Sony ha publicado las diferentes novedades que traen consigo esta mejora de software en los Xperia Z5. Estas son las que gracias a Phone Arena hemos conocido y creído que eran las más interesantes:
Ahora podréis configurar cuánto tiempo queréis que el teléfono esté vibrando
La barra de aplicaciones se esconde cuando estamos haciendo scroll por las apps recientes
Ahora existe una opción para borrar la captura de pantalla tomada
Nueva interfaz para la cámara
La agenda ahora tiene nuevos filtros y añade más formas para añadir contactos
Ahora podrás escoger múltiples contactos para añadirlos en tu lista de favoritos.
Nuevos tipos de permisos añadidos al modelo de micrófono.
Estas son las novedades más importantes que podréis encontrar en los Sony Xperia Z5, aunque eso sí, eso será cuando salga en nuestro país. De momento nos queda esperar a ver que opinan los japoneses de la actualización. ¿Creéis que vale la pena que los updates lleguen más tarde para unos países que para otros?

I know most of us think 4K displays in smartphones are useless. Sony gave it a shot with the Xperia Z5 Premium, but didn’t even bother running the display at 4K full-time. Even Samsung isn’t pushing for 4K displays, instead opting for the same 2560×1440 resolution on the Samsung Galaxy S7 as on the Galaxy S6 (to great results, we might add).
But that doesn’t mean 4K is truly useless in smartphones. Samsung believes it has a future, but not because the human eye will see improvements in daily use. Having a phone display in a Gear VR or a Google Cardboard right up against your face can really expose individual pixels. This is where 4K displays can truly shine. Kyle Brown, Samsung head of technology, content, and launch management, says 4K displays aren’t a gimmick and will eventually become mainstream:
Once we believe it’s the right time to move [to 4K displays], the same as the decision on USB Type-C for example, and we think it’s the right point we can mass produce a 4K screen that will be enough of a consumer benefit to make it worthwhile.
Not only does this make perfect sense, it also explains Samsung’s reasoning for skipping USB Type-C and potentially Quick Charge 3.0. Samsung doesn’t believe they’re quite ready for the mass market for whatever reason, but they’ll get it eventually.
With VR growing and smartphones trying to do everything in our daily lives, it’s easy to see how a 4K display in your phone would benefit your virtual reality headset. Let’s hope VR headsets with slots for smartphones stick around!
