Samsung Galaxy J7 V and LG K20 V smartphones just made their way to Verizon

Add as a preferred source on Google

Two new midrange phones are making their way to Verizon. The carrier has announced that it’s now offering the LG K20 V and the Samsung Galaxy J7 V, a pair of phones that come with a relatively decent price tag.

The phones are available on both Verizon’s prepaid and postpaid plans, with the LG K20 priced at $168, while the Galaxy J7 costs a little more at $240.

So what kind of specs do the two new phones have to offer? Let’s start with the Samsung J7 V. The phone has a relatively large 5.5-inch display, along with an 8MP rear-facing camera and a 3,300mAh battery that should provide at least a full day of use. Powering the phone is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor. The phone comes with 16GB of storage, but it has a microSD card slot so you can expand the storage up to an additional 256GB. It’s not a bad deal for the price — although there are definitely more powerful phones out there.

Then there’s the cheaper LG K20 V, which is a little smaller with its 5.3-inch display. This device offers a 13MP rear-facing camera, along with a 5MP front-facing device. You’ll also get a 2,800mAh battery and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor. The phone comes with 16GB of storage, but again, you’ll get a microSD card slot for expanding storage.

Both of the devices come with Android 7.0 out of the box, so if you’re looking for a cheap way to get the latest and greatest version of Android, then either one of the devices might be a good one to get.

You can get the Samsung Galaxy S7 V and the LG K20 V for yourself from the Verizon website.

Vibecoded apps are flooding Apple’s App Store, and users are getting sick of them
App Store submissions have doubled this year as AI tools make it easier than ever to build an app, but downloads haven't kept pace, and for good reason.

Apple's App Store is in the middle of its steepest submission surge in years. Developers submitted nearly 600,000 new apps last year, marking a 30 percent jump over the previous year. That number has already doubled to roughly 560,000 new apps in just the first six months of this year, according to estimates from analytics firm Sensor Tower cited by the New York Times. The reason behind the spike is vibecoding, which allows people with no prior development experience to create new apps using AI tools.

A familiar boom, with a twist

Google Photos adds a quick toggle between AI and classic search
Classic search is finally easier to reach for people who enabled Ask Photos
Google's Ask Photos debut.

Google Photos is giving users an easier way to leave its Gemini-powered search when a simple keyword would do. A new toggle now sits at the top of the results page, letting users switch between Ask Photos and classic search without digging through settings.

The change appears to address feedback from people who opted into Ask Photos but wanted a quicker way to return to classic search when Gemini was slower or less useful for a straightforward query.

Snapseed Camera now lets Android users save original photos and add geotags
Google updates Snapseed Camera with geotag support and non-destructive photo editing
Snapseed App

Google appears to be quietly turning Snapseed into something more than just a photo editing app. Over the past few weeks, the company has been steadily adding new capabilities to Snapseed Camera, its standalone camera app for Android. The latest update introduces two practical features that many smartphone users have come to expect from modern camera apps: the ability to save an untouched copy of every image for future editing and support for embedding location data directly into photos.

Neither feature is flashy, but together they make Snapseed Camera a more capable photography tool, particularly for users who like experimenting with filters without permanently altering their original shots. According to a report by 9to5Google, the features are rolling out with Snapseed Camera version 4.1.1.x on Android.
