Pixel devices will finally get native flashlight strength adjustment.
While Android has had an API for flashlight brightness control since Android13, Google only used it in the Camera and Magnifier apps. Until now, Pixel owners had to rely on third-party apps that utilizes this API to adjust Pixel's flashlight intensity.
But that could change soon, as Google is working on integrating a "Flashlight Strength" slider directly into the quick settings tile. When active, the tile will even show the current brightness percentage.
The brightness adjustment menu is invoked by either tapping the right side of the tile (for the wide variant) or holding the tile (for the shortened tile variant), which immediately turns on the flashlight.
We'll probably see this change in Android 16 QPR1.

The most promising thing in the Alcatel V3 series is the display
It is being said that it will produce up to 61% less harmful blue light through their patented display tech named "NXTPAPER".
Also, it features an anti-glare display, so it could be a real fun part.

India opens 6GHz spectrum for license-free WiFi use
In order to allow unlicensed use of technologies such as Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, the Indian government has released draft regulations to delicense the 5925–6425 MHz segment of the 6 GHz spectrum.
Faster, low-latency Wi-Fi 6E is made possible by India's delicensing of the 6 GHz band, which also lowers internet costs, improves connectivity in rural areas, complies with international standards, and generates ₹25,000 crore in economic value. All of these factors promote innovation, competition, and digital inclusion throughout the nation.
Telecom operators are against the plan; arguing that the band should be set aside for 5G in order to comply with IMT-2020 standards, even though tech companies support it.
