’ve been waiting eagerly ever since we tried Android Auto at I/O in 2014, it looks like it’s just barely making it out before this year’s I/O (May 28-29 in San Francisco). Before you get too excited, all this app release means is that the last piece of the Android Auto puzzle is in place. But you still need the other pieces: an Android device running llipop, a car or in-car system that’s compatible with Android Auto....
A ll Street urnal report says that’s one of the plans to make ’s potential wireless network a compelling alternative. Instead of building its own towers, would become a Mobile Network Virtual Operator (MVNO), contracting with Sprint T-Mobile to connect devices over their networks. ile neither of these have the footprint of AT&T or Verizon, combining the two with some capability for attaching to -Fi signals could be enough to get people to switch over from their current carrier....

In the hidden configuration interface, the stard buttons are all removable, with the new ones able to be thrown in where you’d like....
Say the word “Samsung” to someone who owns an HTC One or an iPhone 5 and they’ll laugh. Why? Because Samsung’s phones are made out of plastic, while HTC’s flagship and Apple’s flagship are made out of metal. It’s a perfectly valid reason to not buy Samsung’s products, and even I admit that I put up with Samsung’s plastic because I appreciate the other things they do in terms of providing timely software updates and add new features like the S-Pen....
The Galaxy Note 8 is an impressive device by all means, but its measly 3300mAh battery has many people worried about its battery life. After all, a 3300mAh battery powering a device with a 6.3-inch QHD+ display, an octa-core processor, and iris scanner seems like a recipe for disastrous battery life. In fact, this is even smaller than the 3500mAh battery which Samsung has used on the Galaxy S8+ featuring a 6....
Unlike the Huawei P20 Pro, Samsung’s three-camera arrangement won’t set a new benchmark in the industry which is expected considering the price. It consists of a regular 24-megapixel f/1.7 lens, an 8-megapixel wide-angle sensor, and a third 5-megapixel f/2.2 snapper for depth-sensing. On the front too, the Galaxy A7 offers a high-res 24-megapixel selfie camera which the company says is capable of letting in more light by pixel binning. Apart from that, though, the Galaxy A7 is your usual mid-range smartphone....

Open oject can also take multi-user touch interaction if you’re using a touch-enabled display. st imagine: Instead of trying to figure out level 90 of Cy Crush Saga alone on your Galaxy S4, you could let all your friends try to pass the level using a 26-inch display. That’s the hope anyway. From the looks of it, Open oject is not as robust as Apple’s Airay mirroring, but remember that Open oject is in its infancy is still only a research project at this point....

Most of the changes are aimed at further refining the Play Store’s visual look. Firstly, Play Store v5.3.5 brings a slightly new layout for displaying content when you hold your Android smartphone in landscape mode.

The idea is that when you’re searching for content that lives within a mobile app, you’ll get a real-world example of how it looks right inside search. It’s a promising concept, one that could greatly improve upon the current method for evaluating an app: screenshots music-filled preview videos.

That’s the buzz from two “trusted sources” who apparently granted Android lice a sneak peek. The site didn’t offer any images of the watch, instead offering a description. The report says it’s another circular watch, though this timepiece will have a total of three buttons on the body. The tch Urbane G tch R both have a crown button, so it’d be interesting to see what additional kind of functionality might build in to Android ar....

first got a glimpse at what Android TV might look like back in April when The Verge spilled the beans on ‘s plans. At the time, we were completely unimpressed. Of all the pain points around streaming media over the Internet onto your TV, “not enough closed ecosystems of streaming set-top boxes to choose from” is not one of them. A nice user interface is welcome, but what the world really needs is a streaming box that more easily lets us actually watch what we want, when we want....
