Qualcomm hinted that one of its new 64-bit processors would hit an Android device in late 2014 or early 2015, but it didn’t say which lucky manufacturers would use them. In early August, well-known leaker @upleaks posted a series of tweets, hinting that HTC will soon release a mid-range smartphone with one of Qualcomm’s 64-bit processors under the hood.

The device, code-named the HTC A11, supposedly features the 64-bit Snapdragon410 MSM8916 processor, which clocks in at 1.4GHz. It’s expected to be a variant of the existing Desire lineup and comes with other modest specs: a 4.7-inch display with a super low resolution of 854 x 480 pixels, ordinary speakers without Boom Sound, and low-res cameras. The back camera will only be a 5-megapixel shooter and the front-facing camera will only be 0.3-megapixels.

The A11 also looks more low end, with a shiny plastic back and rather plain design. It stands in obvious contrast to the high-end HTC One M8, which has a metal back and premium look to it. 

The A11 will supposedly run Android 4.4.2 with HTC’s Sense 6 interface layered on top. The tipster hinted that HTC may release the A11 at Sprint, where it will undoubtedly come at a low price to match the modest specs. It’s unclear when the new Desire smartphone will launch and if it will arrive in other markets.

Google Photos is getting a cool new feature to speed up your photo edits
Google Photos' year in review feature for 2024.

Google Photos for Android is introducing a new feature that simplifies photo editing right before sharing. A tipster from Android Authority first reported this tool.

The new “Quick Edit” tool lets users easily enhance or crop individual photos before sharing them. It features an “Enhance” button, which functions similarly to the “Enhance” effect in the standard photo-editing options. A crop button is also similar to the one in the regular photo editor. When multiple photos are selected before hitting the share button, the typical share sheet appears instead of the new “Quick Edit” screen.

The base model Galaxy S25 will get a RAM upgrade we’ve waited years for

Back in November, we heard rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S25 might come with an upgraded amount of RAM compared to the base Galaxy S24. The Galaxy S24 Plus and S24 Ultra both start with 12GB of RAM minimum, but until now, the majority of base-model Samsung handsets only had 8GB.

Abhishek Yadav, a known leaker, shared a post on X that said the base storage variant of the Galaxy S25 would come with 12GB of RAM. This also implies that the base storage is likely to be 256GB too. As apps, operating systems, and integrated AI become more powerful, so do their technical requirements. A bump to the base amount of RAM and storage will yield improved performance (hopefully) without a significant cost increase.

New Albums section in file details in Google Photos.

Google Photos is one of those apps that seems to constantly get new features. The updates aren't always game-changing, but they're much appreciated nonetheless. Google Photos is getting another such update in the form of a new "Albums" section that will be available when viewing a photo or video.

When looking at a photo/video in Google Photos, swipe up to view the details. Above the "Location" section, you should now see a new "Albums" area indicating which album that file is a part of.  You'll see the album name and how many items are in it. You can also tap the album to be taken straight to it.
