Easy file sharing between smartphone and PC: Google launched Nearby Share between Android and Windows
Google announced on its official blog the launch of a new feature that will make it easier to share images, videos and other content between Android phones and Windows PCs. To do this, the company has released a new Nearby Share app for Windows.
The Nearby Share app for Windows is currently available in beta in a number of countries, including the US.
Like Apple’s AirDrop, the app allows Android devices and Windows PCs to quickly share files with each other without having to resort to tricks like cloud storage.
The app only works for devices that have Nearby Share turned on, are close to each other (less than 5 meters), and are unlocked, and signed into a Google account. Among the technical requirements:
- Computer with 64-bit version of Windows 10 or higher.
- An Android device with Android 6.0 or higher installed.
Users can set up Nearby Share on Windows for different levels, just like the Android app – Everyone, Contacts, Your Devices, or Nobody.

March 28 is a holiday for all users of the Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra. On this day, One UI 6.1 is released for smartphones
Samsung promised to release the latest One UI 6.1 firmware for Galaxy S23 series smartphones at the end of March, and now a specific date has been announced: a big event for all users of last year’s flagship line of the Korean company will take place on March 28.
This date was confirmed by the Chinese office of Samsung (Galaxy S23 users began receiving notifications about the release of One UI 6.1 on March 28), as well as by the moderator of the official Samsung forum.
It should be noted that not all Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra will simultaneously and immediately receive the latest firmware. Typically, a company starts with several countries (China is apparently one of them), and then gradually expands its geography and user coverage.
Let us remind you that it became known earlier that smartphones of the Galaxy S23 line will receive all the AI functions (Galaxy AI) available for smartphones of the Galaxy S24 series.

The iPhone 16 Pro will be released only in six months, and the first test results of the Apple A18 Pro have already appeared on the Internet
The first results of testing the Apple A18 Pro single-chip system, which should be installed in the iPhone 16 Pro, appeared today on the Internet.
The device running Apple A18 Pro scored 3570 and 9310 in Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core tests, which is 22% and 28% faster compared to the A17 Pro. In Geekbench 5, the Apple A18 Pro scored 2571 and 7359, which is 20% and 38% higher than the A17 Pro.
In the second leak, the results are somewhat closer to the A17 Pro. The future chipset scored 2822 and 8571 points in Geekbench 6, as well as 2517 and 7359 points in Geekbench 5.
The Weibo user who shared the comparison testing results says that these only show the state that current prototypes are in. This is because Apple and other companies allow their chipsets to perform at their maximum potential. OEMs then work to achieve a balance between performance and energy efficiency. We will find out what the real performance will be closer to the release of new products.
The Apple A18 Pro chip is expected to be based on TSMC’s 3nm process. According to rumors, it will consist of two powerful processor cores and six low-power cores.
