The Motorola RAZR finally gets its Android 10 update; here’s what’s new
The Motorola RAZR had quite a bumpy launch. Between broken screens and middling reviews, it just didn’t manage to hang on to the spotlight before the newest Galaxy Z Flip hit and made its own set of waves.

OnePlus confirms its working on adding Always-on-Display to OxygenOS (Finally!)
It’s a question that OnePlus fans have been asking since, well, seemingly forever; where is the Always-on-Display feature?

Android 11 DP3 will let you dismiss persistent notifications (finally)
If you’re like me, persistent notifications are probably one of the few faults you have with Android’s notification shade. I understand Google’s reasoning behind them (you want to be aware of an app constantly running in the background) but come on, I want a clean notification shade. Android 11 looks like it’s going to fix […]

UX 9.0 promo video shows that LG is finally serious about modernizing its UI
LG’s UX UI has never been the most appreciated custom interface in the Android world and lately has looked more than a little dated. As other brands have made their UI’s lighter and more user-friendly, LG’s UX has been given the equivalent of a chocolate frying pan in recent years as it was sent over […]

LG has announced Android 10 is finally coming to some of their devices
LG isn’t known for particularly quick updates, and that’s probably the biggest detractor from some of their otherwise great smartphones. It looks like they’ll be one of the last to get onboard the Android 10 train, but it is happening. They’ve announced an Android 10 preview that’s going live for the LG G8 ThinQ, with […]

Huawei’s Mate X folding smartphone could finally launch next month
First revealed during MWC 2019 back in February, Huawei’s Mate X folding smartphone has been the subject of delays and rumored tweaks, which is understandable when you consider the issues that Samsung has faced with its Galaxy Fold.

Apple Music finally picks up Chromecast support, but only on Android
Despite being an Apple product, Apple Music on Android seems to get a good bit of attention. It doesn’t have a very Android-esque interface, obviously, but if you can get past that, Apple’s music streaming service is still a serious competitor even without an iOS device. We’d heard some rumors that Apple would be adding […]

LG’s really late to the mobile payment party, but finally brings LG Pay to the US
Mobile wallets and mobile payment systems have slowed down now that we’ve got a few major competitors, but you still see new entrants from time to time.

Google will finally catch up to Apple’s cameras with wide color support on the Pixel 4
There’s no argument that Android phones have made huge strides in the last few years, with heavy hitters from Samsung, Huawei, and Google’s own Pixel line delivering phenomenal mobile photography. They all typically get really close to Apple’s iPhone camera, if not beating it out entirely, but there’s one area where Apple’s cameras still do […]

We’re finally seeing the first signs of dark mode coming to the Gmail app
Google has been building out dark mode updates to many of their major apps, but there are still a few that are missing the blacked out interface.

Huawei’s ongoing troubles with the US government’s decision to place it on the ‘entity’ list came just before the launch of the Honor 20 Pro on May 21st.

Samsung finally delivers on bringing Night Mode to the Galaxy S9’s camera
Samsung launched their new Night Mode on the Galaxy S10, which is something many considered part of the One UI update.

Moto G6 Plus finally receives its Android Pie 9.0 update
One of the draws of Motorola‘s G-series only a few years ago was its nearly-stock Android system and fast updates – almost like a proto-Android-One setup. However, ever since Google sold Motorola to Lenovo in 2014 and was relegated to merely a brand, the classic phone manufacturer’s devices have disappointingly gone from being amongst the first […]

Essential Phone is finally out of rope, showing out of stock from most retailers
The Essential Phone was a flawed but extremely promising device, but it really struggled to overcome some of the mistakes and missteps from Essential out of the gate.

YouTube app on Android finally gets a beta program
The good thing about Gboard and Chrome on Android is that their beta program handles tests and features prior to them hitting the masses.

Google is finally testing manual backups with Android Pie
One feature that’s pretty much always been sorely missed on Android compared to iOS is the ability to make full, complete data backups on demand to ease transitioning in between devices.
