However, there isn’t much to this update. Over at the Pixel Phone help site, Google listed all the changes, of which there are only a few:
If you’re one of the people facing that reboot error, you’ll likely be very happy to see this update. However, this update was always going to be pretty small considering last month was the most recent Pixel feature drop.
Back in November of last year Samsung kicked off a new campaign called“Galaxy 11”, which deals with the story of 11 football (soccer) stars that come together in order to drive off alien invaders using the power of football, while also utilizing various Galaxy devices along the way.
As we noted when the campaign came out, dramatic and semi-strange campaigns and advertisements are nothing new for Samsung, but judging by the company’s continued success in the world of Android — this type of advertising works.
Out of the blue, Larry Page took to Google’s official blog this afternoon toannounce the creation of a new company, Alphabet. So what is Alphabet? Just another of the many companies under Google? No, the exact opposite. Alphabet is a new umbrella company that is a collection of other companies, including Google.
Larry Page will act as CEO of Google’s new parent company, with Sergey Brin as President. As for Google? It is getting slimmed down a bit, with Life Sciences (a company that focuses on glucose-sensing contact lens), Calico (focused on longevity) and some of the other “way out in left field” projects moving under Alphabet’s wings.
Google+ user Josue Joseph already scored some hands-on time with the new model, which is shown in the photos above. According to the listing on Best Buy’s website, the new Moto Hint features an “improved fit” and “advanced voice control” features, though we’re not exactly sure what those are at the moment. The design of the device looks almost identical to the 2014 model, but apparently fits even better in the ear.

TL;DR
A judge’s ruling in a copyright infringement case didn’t work out so well for a popular Nintendo ROMs repository site. The owner of ROMUniverse must pay Nintendo $2.1 million. Nintendo originally wanted $15 million from ROMUniverse. If there’s one thing Nintendo is passionate about — besides constantly delaying the expansion of the Metroid franchise — it’s suing people. The notoriously strict company throws DMCA notices around without abandon and seems to love being in courtrooms.
The Android 10 stable update has arrived for Pixel smartphones and has activated a new feature for the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL. First spotted by 9to5 Google, both phones have gained Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS) functionality with Android 10. The feature lets your smartphone make use of both the eSIM and physical SIM simultaneously.
DSDS support was announced for the flagship Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones earlier during the Android Q Beta, but was later rolled back by Google.
Have an older mobile device collecting dust around your house? Starting tomorrow, AT&T will introduce a new trade-in promotion that could give you at least an $100 credit for your older gear.
Often enough, trading programs only accept a few limited models of phones for trading, but AT&T’s promotion is much less restrictive. The carrier will take any mobile hardware, as long as it isn’t older than three years. That means you can bring in a slightly older smartphone, netbook, tablet, data card or even a feature phone.
Just recently, we listed the best Android apps for finding cheap hotels. Such apps can be extremely handy when you’re planning a getaway, or perhaps a business trip. They can also help you save on expenses.
In this app list, we feature some of the best apps that can help you cut down on the costs for getting to your destination or hotel by air travel.
Although trips usually call for quite a large amount of money, with the apps that you will be seeing below, money won’t be at the topmost of your “Things to Consider” list.
In 2018, USB Type-C has now become the de facto charging standard for smartphones, especially in flagship and even many mid-range devices. In fact, we can’t think of a single newer flagship that is still utilizing the old standard. And for many of us, that has meant the need to buy all sorts of new accessories for our devices.
One item that you may want to replace right off the bat is your car charger.
📈 Good morning! Australia qualified for the World Cup last night, beating poor old Peru in a penalty shootout. I’d be more excited, but the World Cup in Qatar isn’t a great look….
Nothing Phone 1?Nothing has mastered the art of teasing and so it’s no surprise that the Nothing Phone 1 is being very gradually unveiled, ahead of a July 12 launch date.
Something is coming though: Nothing keeps showing off tiny segments of the phone …along with some cool birds.
