Android 16 developer preview released as Motorola faces potential US ban and Meta enhances smart glasses with AI features

Google has released the second developer preview of Android 16, bringing improvements like faster app startup and enhanced health data support. The beta version is expected to launch in January 2025, ahead of the official release. Motorola faces a potential ban in the U.S. due to a patent dispute with Ericsson over 5G technology. If enforced, this ban could affect Motorola's popular Moto G, Edge, and Razr smartphone lines, significantly impacting the company's market presence. Meta has updated its Ray-Ban smart glasses with new AI features, including live translation and enhanced contextual awareness. These updates aim to improve user interaction and are part of Meta's Early Access Program in the U.S. and Canada.
