Rita El Khoury / Android Authority
TL;DR Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1 adds lock screen clock customization to the Pixel Tablet.
The new beta allows users to adjust the style, color, and size of the lock screen clock on the slate.
It looks like you can choose from five different clock styles.
Google's new Material 3 Expressive design direction in Android 16 is all about making the user experience more lively and playful. Along with fresh fonts, icons, and new UI components, Google continues to prioritize user control and customization. In line with its mission to make Android feel more personal, the company is now rolling out new lock screen clock customization options not only on Pixel phones, but finally, also on the Pixel Tablet.
With the launch of Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1, Pixel Tablet users can finally personalize their lock screen clocks. Just like on Pixel phones, you can head to Settings > Wallpaper & style to change the clock's appearance. There, you'll find options to adjust the style, color, and size of the lock screen clock.
Thanks to user Petro on Discord, who shared screenshots with our own Mishaal Rahman, we now have a closer look at the customization options. It looks like you can choose from five different clock styles, each with adjustable color and size settings, so you can really make it your own.
On the phone side, Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1 brings updates as well. The revamped Wallpaper & style app on Pixel phones features a cleaner UI for lock screen customization and adds a slider to adjust the weight and width of the clock.

The 20 Most American-Made Cars of 2025

With tariffs still a hot talking point and prices expected to increase over the next few months, it could make a big difference where your next car is built. That's why the annual American-Made Index is an important tool to use when shopping for your next ride. The American-Made Index uses five different factors to determine just how "American" each car sold in the US is: Location of final assembly, percentage of US and Canadian parts, countries of origin for all engines, countries of origin for all transmissions, and US manufacturing workforce. This year, the study analyzed more than 400 vehicles and narrowed the final list down to 100 models. At the top of the list are the usual suspects: Tesla, Jeep, and even Honda. American brands like Chevrolet and Ford don't crack the top 10, and only one Chevy makes it in the top 20. You can read the full list at —but here's what the top 20 looks like: 20. Nissan Pathfinder 19. Chevrolet Colorado 18. Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid 17. Kia Sportage 16. Acura Integra 15. Honda Accord 14. Acura RDX 13. Jeep Wrangler 12. Honda Pilot 11. Acura MDX 10. Volkswagen ID.4 9. Honda Passport 8. Honda Odyssey 7. Honda Ridgeline 6. Kia EV6 5. Jeep Gladiator 4. Tesla Model X 3. Tesla Model S 2. Tesla Model Y 1. Tesla Model 3 Tesla Tops the Charts Tesla Model 3 Performance As expected, Tesla tops the list with four of its models taking the top four. The Model 3 earns the crown as the most American-made vehicle of 2025 (so far). All of Tesla's vehicles are produced at its Fremont Factory in Fremont, California, with the Gigafactory in Texas also producing Model Ys and Cybertrucks. The Gladiator takes fifth place and is the only Jeep in the top 20, while Kia takes sixth place with the electric EV6. The Kia Sportage also cracks the top 20 in 17th place; both Kia models are produced at the brand's West Point, Georgia, manufacturing facility. Honda has five vehicles in the top 20, with the Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline, and Passport all produced at the same manufacturing plant in Lincoln, Alabama. The Honda Accord, meanwhile, is built in Marysville, Ohio. Honda's luxury brand, Acura, also has three vehicles in the top 20: The RDX, MDX, and Integra. The Integra is built alongside the Accord in Marysville, while the RDX and MDX are produced nearby in East Liberty, Ohio. Where Are Chevy & Ford? Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison Photo by: Andrew Link | Motor1 While only one of Detroit's Big Three cracks the top 10 (Jeep), Chevy and Ford are nowhere to be found. Only one Chevy model—the Colorado pickup, at 19th—even cracks the top 20. It's produced at Chevy's Wentzville, Missouri, plant. The Ford F-150 Lightning comes in at 22nd, and the Explorer is 23rd. Meanwhile, the Bronco falls all the way to 47th, while the Mustang is even further still at 56th. Outside of the Colorado, the C8 Corvette is 29th, the Suburban is 38th, the Tahoe is 41st, and the Traverse SUV is 73rd. A few Cadillac and GMC models—like the Yukon at 39th and the CT5 at 44th—do at least crack the top 50. The Least-American Made Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid Photo by: Subaru On the opposite end of the spectrum, a handful of vehicles from American brands fall to the bottom of the list. The Jeep Wagoneer L is the 100th most American-made car of 2025. The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is 99th, the Cadillac Lyriq is 98th, the Nissan Rogue is 97th, the Subaru Crosstrek is 96th, and the Genesis GV70 is 95th. Here's what the bottom 10 looks like: 100. Jeep Wagoneer L 99. Toyota RAV4 Hybrid 98. Cadillac Lyriq 97. Nissan Rogue 96. Subaru Crosstrek 95. Genesis GV70 94. Honda Civic Hybrid 93. Mercedes-Benz GLE350 92. Mercedes-Benz EQE 350+ 91. Mercedes-Benz GLS450 90.

Reddit reportedly explores verifying users with Sam Altman's eyeball scanner. Sources tell Semafor that Reddit wants to combat AI bots using World ID, the cryptocurrency and human identification project co-founded by Altman. It uses an iris scanner known as the Orb to assign people a World ID, which Semafor says Reddit could use to verify human users while keeping them anonymous. In addition to World ID, Reddit would also allow users to verify themselves with 'many' other options, according to Semafor.
