Google has just rolled out the new messaging app, first seen on the Nexus 6 running Android Lollipop, to the Play Store, meaning those rocking other Android devices can now indulge in this intriguing new application. Provided that your handset is running Android 4.1 or higher, it'll be ready to run the nice-looking tool simply called Messenger, and as well as the download link, you'll find all of the relevant details below.
We recently saw Apple introduce iOS 8 to a whole host of compatible iPhone and iPad devices, and now it's Android's turn to take things to the next level. As we should all know by now, getting our hands on the latest and greatest version of the Android OS isn't as simple as hitting Software Update and watching as the improvements download. Apple have the monopoly on that simplicity it seems. However, if you happen to be the proud owner of an unlocked, mid-range Motorola Moto G smartphone then you'll be the first to officially get your hands on Android Lollipop.
The one long-standing criticism of Samsung's powerhouse smartphone line has been about the plasticky, cheap build quality. Whilst the likes of the Apple iPhone and HTC's One series have set the standard in this regard with some premium finishes, the Galaxy roster has been the subject of much debate. Sure, most power users are nonplussed about the outer shell, particularly when the likes of Apple and HTC are forced to cut corners and remove perceived necessities like a removable battery, but in recent times, the Korean company has expanded its horizons by offering handsets with metallic finishes. The Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 are both products of this new initiative, but like many other metal-housed devices before them, the new duo is apparently afflicted with signal issues.
Here's how you can record and mirror your Android device's screen on Android 5.0 Lollipop without root access.

Android Lollipop is all the rage right now and the OS has not arrived on devices other than the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 as of yet. The wait and anticipation of the arrival of a magical update from manufacturers such as Samsung is producing more excitement every day. We now have a video that shows of the Samsung Galaxy S4 running Android 5.0 Lollipop, being compared to a similar device, but running Android 4.4.2 KitKat.
While we were focusing on and vouching for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S5 to be getting the Android 5.0 Lollipop update, the Galaxy S4 has jumped right in. The device has been seen running Android 5.0 with the new TouchWiz UI layered on top.
And you thought Quad-HD resolution on mobile phones was truly overwhelming. Enter Samsung Galaxy Note 5 - which, according to reports, is rumored to come with a 5.9-inch display with an over-the-top crazy Ultra HD Super AMOLED display, also called the ‘4K’ resolution.
In a surprising move, Microsoft has just made Office completely free for iPad, iPhone and Android. Microsoft wants users to stick to the Office platform on their mobile devices, and apparently this is the way to achieve that.
Let the 'gates' of shame open! Nexus 9 is apparently not as premium-ly built as we have been led to believe. Press the rear shell in the middle and you can easily indent the plastic back.
