Here’s how to control your PS4 from your PS5. Read more: PS5 buyers guide: Everything you need to know 

If Android battery life improves in 2020, we can thank iPhone 11

The Pixel 4 XL is the better option over the Pixel 4, if you don’t want to struggle with battery life. Care to admit it or not, smartphones are the most important devices in our lives. They contain everything: our calls, our messages, our photos, our location, our very electronic essence. It would make sense that these vital instruments are robust, but they often are not. Perform a casual search for “smartphone battery life,” for example, and the results will vary from how-tos to detailed lists explaining which ones are best and which ones suck.

My Verizon Wireless nightmare: A tale of failure

Verizon Wireless corporate store Over the weekend I initiated a transfer of my wireless service from AT&T to Verizon Wireless. The process was so painful and so fraught with failure that I felt compelled to share the story. Buckle up, ’cause here we go. Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority I first subscribed to AT&T in December 2006 to get a BlackBerry Pearl. My main number has been with AT&T for nearly 13 years, so why switch now?

Yahoo Mail app update - better document previews, extra widget, updated theme and more

The application does have over a hundred million downloads in the Google Play Store, so we will go ahead and assume more than a few of you are using it.

Alcatel Onetouch Hero 2 review

Alcatel OneTouch has produced a fantastic phone in terms of its design, display and functionality. However the battery life might not be good enough for some. With the huge success of the Galaxy Note, which is now in its fourth iteration, and the arrival of the Nexus 6, it seems that devices with 6 inch (or thereabouts) displays are becoming mainstream. But the Galaxy Note 4, Huawei Ascend Mate 7 and the Nexus 6 (all winners of our Editor’s Choice Award) aren’t the only 6 inch phones around.

Android 12 beta 3.1 is here to kill off some bugs

Beta 3.1 includes multiple bug fixes but no new features (at least none we can see as of yet). We don’t expect to see the next big update until August. Earlier this month, Google launched the newest beta version of the next flavor of Android. That upgrade brought along a whole bunch of new features while simultaneously squashing some bugs.

So with that in mind, we thought now would be as good a time as any to look at some of the best and worst moments in the expo’s history.

Big Launcher Android app review

Have you ever seen an elderly relative peering intently at their phone trying to find the contact they need? Have you seen a young child accidentally press the wrong entry on the touchscreen? Have you ever forgotten your glasses and had to squint at the screen trying to work out which option you want? Do you hate confusing icons and long for a simple layout that’s clear on your phone?
