As excited as we were back in January about Huawei’s Ascend P1/P1 S high-end smartphones, we eventually got tired of waiting for either of the two devices to go up for sale in the US. Not to mention that the Ascend P1 S is nowhere to be found across the globe, being still scheduled to come “soon”. Not cool, Huawei, not cool at all!
Now, a new version of the Ascend P1 has been spotted getting FCC’s approval, which gave us some hope that the device would finally be released in the US.
One of the most attractive promos this Cyber Monday was the $150 price cut on the Moto X that Motorola first announced last week. Unfortunately, the Google-owned company misjudged the demand for the deal, and the customer onslaught brought Moto Maker to a standstill throughout the day.
Motorola apologized and offered to make it up with two more days of sales, explaining in a blog post how it plans to manage demand this time around.
We’ve seen loads of coronavirus apps pop up on mobile app stores in recent months, as the pandemic continues to sweep around the world. Google has taken steps to remove the more questionable apps from the Play Store, but it looks like one Android app on the web is actually ransomware.

We take so many photos, we just forget to share. Google Photos has a few new features announced at Google I/O 2017 that aim to address just that.
Google Photos knows that you take over 1.2 billion photos and videos per day, but share only a few. They understand my issue, at least: I don’t have time to choose the right pictures to share. Luckily, this was made super easy today, let’s explore.
A popular question that we get asked here at Android Authority is, where is the best place to buy a Chinese OEM phone? Maybe you want an Oppo handset or something from Xiaomi, Meizu or even THL, but where to get it?
The answer to that question is simultaneously quite easy and quite hard! It is easy because you just need to go to one of the websites which are listed below and place you order.
We are less than a week away from Samsung’s next big thing and if all rumors prove true, the Samsung Galaxy S6 may end up being the phone that many of us believed the GS5 would be: a less bloated Galaxy with a truly new design that sets itself apart from Galaxy S devices of the past.
While we are starting to get a pretty good picture of what thedesign of the phone might look like, it’s hard not to be a little skeptical of the idea that Samsung is debloating TouchWiz and giving us a much more ‘basic’ experience out of the box.
Google Drive is trying to make it easier than ever to share files by cutting out the email step. Moreover, they’ve improved access-granting functionality and made files previewable on Android even without a Google account.
Remember USB drives? Remember emailing files to yourself so you could access them on another computer? Remember when a hard drive failure meant you lost all of your work?

The Google Pixel 3a is arguably one of the best mid-range phones on the market right now, and the Mountain View company isn’t afraid to compare it to more expensive devices. In fact, Google previously compared the Pixel 3a to the $999 iPhone XS.
The search kingpin’s ads have the same basic theme, noting that the $999 Phone X (the iPhone XS again) “has Google.” But one of the ads, seen below, continues by saying the $399 Pixel 3a “is Google.
Instagram, the insanely popular photo filtering & sharing app designated by Apple as the “iOS App of the year 2011” will soon also be available on Android smartphones, according to an announcement made at South by Southwest on Sunday by Instagram Co-Founder Kevin Systrom.According to Systrom: “In some ways, it’s better than our iOS app. It’s crazy”. I honestly believe (and hope) that there won’t be any big differences between the iOS and the Android versions of the app, but I guess we’ll have to wait for Instagram to be released on Android to know for sure.
SamMobile insiders have discovered that the Samsung is currently preparing the Galaxy S4 GT-I9505, that’s the more common Snapdragon 600 version found in Europe and a few other regions, for KNOX support.
KNOX is Samsung’s proprietary security suite, which offers a range of features from Security Enhanced Android, secure booting, and an application container, among other similar features. Samsung originally announced KNOX at MWC earlier this year, and the comprehensive enterprise mobile solution was supposed to be included with the Galaxy S4 at launch, but was delayed whilst the company continued to test various features.
