It wasn’t that long ago when iOS users were treated to a little app called Distiller. Its sole purpose of being is to recommend you whiskey for any occasion. If you’re an Android user and find yourself stumped when faced with a whiskey that doesn’t start with the word “Jack,” you may now rejoice, because Distiller is here.

You can either have the app give you a recommendation or, if you already have the name of the whiskey in mind, you can search for it. If you decide to let the app make the decision for you, it will present you with a series of questions. After answering these questions, Distiller then presents you with whiskey recommendations based on how you answered the questions. While you can do so without making an account, signing in would theoretically improve your recommendations and allow you to rate bottles of whiskey.

There are also customer reviews for those who wish for some human input, and you can also purchase or rate whiskies from the app itself. If you fancy yourself a whiskey historian, it also includes background information about the drink, which includes the whole whiskey/whisky debate.

The recommendations Distiller makes are based a proprietary algorithm that takes a whiskey’s price, reputation, and “giftability” into account, as well as thousands of different data points relative to its flavor. The analysis produces what the developer calls the Distiller Flavor Profile, which is compared to other bottles in order to give you the best match.

Grab a glass and download Distiller for free on the Google Play Store.

I thought I’d hate this cheap Android phone. It proved me wrong
A person holding the Nuu B30 Pro.

I like phones like the Nuu B30 Pro. Not because it’s a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra rival or that it does something spectacular we’ve never seen before -- it’s because it is way better than I thought it was going to be.

I admit that I may have judged the Nuu B30 Pro a little harshly before using it, but I’m also happy to admit my flash judgment was wrong. Here’s why you shouldn’t write the Nuu B30 Pro off as just another cheap Android phone to ignore.
Why did I hastily judge the Nuu B30 Pro?

If that happens to you, no worries - you can print directly from your smartphone or tablet, and here we'll show you a guide on how to print from your Android device.

Qualcomm is about to make cheap Android phones better than ever
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 render.

Qualcomm is adding a new top-tier mobile chipset to its portfolio — one that takes the best bits of its flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 silicon, makes some concessions, and serves it all up in a more affordable package. The result of those efforts is the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, which is slated to appear inside phones from Xiaomi and Honor in the coming month.

Qualcomm is once again pushing generative AI capabilities for its latest silicon, touting features like image expansion, support for AI models from the likes of Meta to create an intelligent on-device assistant, and readiness for Google’s Gemini Nano model. So far, these things have remained exclusive to Google's Pixel and Samsung flagships, but it appears that the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 will finally bring them to a larger audience.
