OnePlus Nord 2 is now receiving the stable update to Android 12

Posted: 30 May 2022 05:59 PM PDT

We're used to seeing newer smartphones receiving big Android updates before their predecessors, but OnePlus went an entirely different way with the Nord line. The original Nord got its Android 12 update about a couple of weeks ago, while its successor, the Nord 2, is only starting to receive it now, after having gone through a couple of Open Betas. The first one of those was outed about a month ago, so it's no surprise that the stable release took a few weeks after that. Anyway, it's rolling out now as a 4.89GB download, over half a year after Google initially released it, but better late...

The Google Pixel Tablet may support stylus input

Posted: 30 May 2022 08:01 AM PDT

Google teased a Pixel Tablet at I/O 2022, but didn't reveal much besides a few renders and a vaguely positive description. It didn't say whether it will support stylus input, but apparently it will – a Google tablet was certified by the Universal Stylus Initiative (USI). USI lists the device only as "Tangor" (a kind of citrus fruit), which is clearly a code name. But there is no mistaking it, Google has only one tablet in the works – the Pixel Tablet. And even that won't come out anytime soon, it is expected in 2023. As the name suggests, USI created a standard for styluses that...
