Google just gave us our first look at what Samsung XR headset apps might look like

Samsung's XR headset, known as Project Moohan, will debut within the next year and is powered by the Snapdragon XR Plus Gen 2 chip. The Android XR developer blog features a six-second video showing app windows layered over real-world environments. Android XR has two modes: Home Space, which allows multitasking with multiple app windows, and Full Space, which offers a single window experience against a virtual backdrop. Home Space is the default view, with a toggle to switch between modes. Samsung's app windows are expected to reflect the aesthetic of One UI. Android XR will support various input methods, including hand and eye tracking, voice commands, keyboard and mouse, and dedicated controllers. CES 2025, starting January 7, will provide more information about the headset's features and capabilities.

Amazon Appstore used to spread Android malware — delete this malicious app right now

Researchers at McAfee Labs found a malicious app named BMI CalculationsVsn on the Amazon Appstore, disguised as a body mass index calculator. The app activates screen recording when users click the “Calculate” button, potentially capturing sensitive information. Although it was designed to record video, the developer had not implemented the capability to upload recordings. The app could still scan for installed applications and collect text messages. It was uploaded to the Amazon Appstore in early October and was removed after McAfee alerted Amazon. Users who installed it need to delete it manually.
