Google's Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X are now official. Here are all the specs, features, price and release date info that you need to know about Google's flagship Android 6.0 smartphones.
Android's open source nature makes it one of the most customizable and developer-friendly platforms out there, thus the basis of its appeal to many users. However, sometimes such freedom can cost people dearly too, just like the newest piece of information that has surfaced regarding Android Pay on rooted devices. According to a credible source, Android Pay will not work on rooted Android smartphones and tablets.
It's becoming increasingly difficult for manufacturers to design and develop any type of new product without it somehow managing to make it into the public domain prior to an official unveiling. Granted, so-called "leaks" are occasionally instigated by the company itself to drum up pre-release interest in the hardware, but more often than not the information that makes it out before it's meant to is down to an insider. The latest smartphone leak that we are now privy to focuses on the HTC One A9, and gives us our clearest look at the hardware to date.
We clearly live in an age where it's extremely difficult for any manufacturer to design and develop a new product without intricate details of said product getting into the public domain prior to its official unveiling. We already know that Google has scheduled a dedicated media event for September 29th, where it's expected to unveil a slew of new hardware. We probably already know a little more about those potential unveilings than Google would like. Now, thanks to leaked visuals of retail packaging, we have confirmation of the naming conventions of the two new smartphones expected to be announced at the event.
Why would you bother investing the time, energy, and financial resources into coming up with your own ideas when you can simply "borrow" inspiration from those around you who continually look to innovate? Samsung is reportedly working on its own smartphone leasing program that will work similar to Apple's recently announced iPhone Upgrade Program.
Sometimes it is just abundantly clear that someone inside Samsung's marketing division just cannot help themselves but launch a shot across Apple's bow. The latest video ad to come out of Samsung, extolling the virtues of being able to heavily customize how the company's Galaxy Note 5 looks, certainly has the feel of being aimed at Apple, that's for sure.
It seems that television-related devices are flavor of the month at the moment. Last week we had Apple introducing the fourth-generation Apple TV that's focused on mobile gaming. Yesterday we watched on as Amazon introduced three new television-focused devices in the form of a new Fire TV box, an improved Fire TV Stick, and a new gaming Fire TV box with accompanying controller. Now, it looks like Google is about to join the growing list of companies revealing television-centric hardware with an announcement regarding the second-generation Chromecast likely to come later this month.
After arriving on the Google Play Store a little over 24 hours ago, Apple's Move to iOS app now has a majority of 1-star ratings left by trolling Android fans.
