Siklus peningkatan Android 2025 telah dimulai, berkat Samsung dan Google.

\”Hello, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 68, your ultimate guide to the coolest and most cutting-edge stuff out there. Whether you’re a regular or new here, I hope you’re doing well and cozy. Don’t forget you can catch up on all past editions on the Installer homepage. This week, I’ve been delving into topics like Kieran Culkin, insomnia, and the eBay for startup goodies, as well as finally watching The Wild Robot. I’ve also been reflecting on my shopping habits while watching The Mega-Brands That Built America, stocking up on Baseus retractable cables for my travels, enjoying a browser-based version of Pitfall!, exploring the new Spark calendar for Android, and attempting to recreate Babish’s mouth-watering breakfast sandwich.

In addition, I have some exciting news for you about the latest Android phone, the must-have GPU for gamers, a mind-boggling challenge for AI tools, a clever alternative to Google, and much more. While it’s been a relatively quiet week for new releases due to post-CES lull and political upheaval, we still have plenty to discuss! Let’s dive in.

As always, your ideas and tips make Installer great. What are you watching, reading, cooking, downloading, building with Legos, or wearing on your wrists this week? Share everything with me at [email protected]. If you know someone who would enjoy Installer, encourage them to subscribe here.

Here are some highlights from this week:

– Samsung Galaxy S25: The S25 Edge and Ultra models are grabbing attention, but the whole lineup feels a bit lackluster this time. Still, the $800 flagship phone offers high-end features in a reasonable size, making it a strong contender for many this year.
– Star Trek: Section 31: Reviews for this Paramount Plus movie are mixed, but fans of the franchise are eager to explore this new installment.
– Humanity’s Last Exam: An intriguing and challenging test that has stumped AI models, offering insights into the capabilities of artificial intelligence.
– Perplexity Assistant: A new Android app from Perplexity focusing on task-oriented AI, offering a different approach to search results.
– Android 16 public beta: Notable features include Live Activities-style lockscreen notifications and forced app resizing for foldable phones.
– The Night Agent season 2: Fans of the first season will enjoy the fast-paced action of the second installment.
– Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090: A top-of-the-line GPU for 4K gaming, though the $2,000 price tag may be a barrier for some.
– Thought-provoking reads: Explore the impact of streaming on sports fandom and discover Brave Rerank feature for search customization.
