I tried Duolingo for the first time in a year, and it's worse than I thought

Marvin Velasco / Android Authority Add Android Authority on Google: I used to be a dedicated Duolingo user. I logged in every day, hit my daily quota, and became a little more proficient at a new language. About a year ago, though, I gave up on the language-learning app. Duolingo became a shell of its former self; its lessons became redundant and the daily tasks repetitive. I didn’t feel like I was learning anything new, which defeats the purpose of

I used Pixels new battery summaries for a week and Google has work to do

Stephen Radochia / Android Authority Add Android Authority on Google: I rolled my eyes when I heard Google was bringing AI battery summaries to Pixel phones. I’ve enjoyed some of the latest Gemini Intelligence improvements on my Pixel 11 Pro XL, but some implementations seem excessive.

Google pulls back the curtain to tease Gemini 4 Argon

Joe Maring / Android Authority Add Android Authority on Google: TL;DR Gemini 4 Argon is coming soon as Google’s most capable AI model to date. Benchmarks show highly competitive scores across a wide range of agentic tasks. Google is still testing Argon with limited groups, but access will eventually expand to AI Ultra subscribers. New AI models drop so frequently, it’s difficult to even think of a week that’s not particularly packed with them, but these last few days have

Forget new models Gemini's working on what really matters: dark mode options

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Add Android Authority on Google: TL;DR Gemini is working on new dark mode controls that override system settings. These options would be exclusive to Gemini, and not impact the rest of the Google app. Gemini also appears to be developing a new notification history screen. Keeping up with all of Google’s changes to Gemini is basically a full-time job these days, and when the company’s not introducing a new model, it’s expanding what the service
