There are loads of smartphones out there on the market today, and we here at Android Authority endeavor to cover them all. But what about the phones we actually use every day as our daily drivers? After all, it’s one thing to review a phone and call it one of the best you can buy, but another thing entirely to use one as your primary device. We did a Team AA daily driver poll back in 2018, as well as another one last year.

Our bodies create and use a ton of energy, and it could be going to better places, like, uh, your Android phone! If Cinderella were to live in the 21st century, she probably wouldn’t be very happy to hear what we are going to tell you today. 24-year-old Anthony Mutua from Kenya has developed an ultra-thin chip of crystals that can charge mobile phones when placed in shoe soles and the technology is set to go into mass production soon enough.

You see, Google’s track record when it comes to acquiring hardware companies is not the greatest. Most of the companies purchased by Google either fail or simply get integrated with other Google brands. The list of Google hardware acquisitions that stand the test of time is quite small. We obviously have no idea if Fitbit is going to thrive or fail under Google, but we can get an idea for its chances by looking at Google’s history.

TL;DR Google is hosting a virtual summit on July 8. It’s a developer event dedicated to the company’s smart home ecosystem. Could we see new smart home hardware? Probably not. Google might be getting ready to launch the Pixel 4a, but before it does that, the company is hosting a virtual “Hey Google” smart home event July 8. Google hasn’t revealed much about the upcoming developer event, but we expect to hear a lot about Google Assistant and the smart home devices it powers.

Previously, the company had launched and embraced Material Design, but now it’s rebooting that style under the new “Material You” design.

HMD Global has launched its new flagship, the Nokia X6, in China. The device, previously seen with the name Nokia X, was unveiled in Beijing earlier today.

The Nvidia GeForce Now game streaming service is much older than Google’s Stadia service. Stadia though, for whatever reason, seems to have more buzz surrounding it. That might change now that GeForce Now is officially out of beta and open to all without a waiting period. There is also a premium membership option that gives you unlimited six-hours-long sessions. You also get priority access to Nvidia’s gaming servers and access to exclusive RTX content that the free membership does not provide.
