Galaxy S26 gains USB webcam mode for PC calls, catching up to Pixel-era features

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 now can act as a USB-C webcam for PCs and laptops, letting you use its rear (primary or ultrawide) or front cameras for video calls with a High Quality Mode that offers higher bitrate but can heat the phone. The feature follows Google's native Android webcam support introduced with Android 14 QPR1 and improvements in Android 15, but Samsung has only just brought it to the S26 lineup (likely via One UI 8.5) and it’s not yet on older Galaxy devices. You can even charge the phone while plugged in during use.

Budget Tablet, Real-World Worth: Lenovo Idea Tab Pro Gets the Basics Right

Lenovo's Idea Tab Pro is a solid, budget Android tablet that covers everyday tasks well thanks to a bright 12.7-inch 144Hz display, included Tab Pen Plus stylus, microSD expansion, and strong battery life; powered by MediaTek Dimensity 8300, it isn’t a speedster and has a plain design, but for light productivity and media you’ll likely be satisfied, especially at discounts below MSRP; it runs Android 14 with 2 OS updates and 4 years of security patches.

Samsung has released the December 2024 security update for the Galaxy S24, S24+, S24 Ultra, and S24 FE.
