If you want a compact Android phone with flagship specs, you have limited options.

This week in Android: Samsung makes some questionable choices and the US government chooses violence
The biggest announcements of the year for the Android platform are coming in a matter of weeks, as Google has finally set a date for I/O 2024.

Since jumping ship to Wear OS with the Galaxy Watch 4 in 2021, Samsung has launched its wearable in two flavors: a regular model and a Classic variant with a rotating bezel. In 2022, it added a Pro variant to the Watch 5 lineup instead of releasing a version with a physical rotating bezel. Last year, the company again brought back the Classic model and skipped launching a Pro version. With the Galaxy Watch 7 though, Samsung might expand its watch lineup to include three variants.

Where did the fingerprint scanner go?
We can find a plethora of password manager apps scattered across the internet today. However, Samsung Galaxy device owners have a first-party solution to perform this task, known as Samsung Pass. However, the introduction of Samsung Wallet — which consolidated the attributes of Samsung Pass and Samsung Pay — meant that Pass went on the backburner a little bit.

But things seemingly aren't working as they should, with multiple user reports claiming the Pass app is failing to let users in.

Thankfully, the Good Lock support team has confirmed it will fix this issue, though it's not arriving anytime soon.
