We're living in a golden age of podcasts right now, but not everyone has jumped on the bandwagon. In this week's poll, we're asking: Do you listen to podcasts?
In this week's poll we're interested to know how often you purchase a new phone.
In this week's poll we're asking how often you clean out the storage on your phone.
Most of us think the people signing the contracts are the ones who need to worry about the financials between streaming services and the artists being streamed on them. And that makes sense for the most part. Very few of us — people reading Android Central and then taking the time to vote in an online poll — are involved with the music industry. We have no idea what goes on, how...
ZTE has launched two new smartphones: the ZTE Maven and ZTE Sonata 2. The former will be available on AT&T and the Sonata 2 is heading to Cricket Wireless.
Everyone is home (or on their way there) from Google I/O 2015, with new toys in their phones and new ideas for what's to come. While users and developers everywhere continue tearing into the Android M Developer Preview (if you haven't yet, please see our required reading on the subject), we can't deny that there were certain events from the nerdy nirvana that is Google I/O that made us...
Google I/O is here, and while the developer sessions are still very much underway (and you can find all that coverage on our Google I/O page, the keynote has come and gone. What tickled your fancy the most? []/google-io-2016) We know that this year may not have been quite as sexy or exciting as years past. There was no skydiving or free Pixels, no driving cars onstage and not much...
It's nearly time for Google to take the stage at the Moscone Center, and this is what you're most excited about. While there are oodles and oodles of jaw-dropping goodies that are likely about to be dropped in our lap — or dangled beyond our wallets — in the next few hours, we have that one update or device we want to see more than anything else at Google I/O. More than anything else...
It's the most wonderful time of the year... It's the hap-happiest conference of all! Google I/O is just two short days away. Google I/O is a bit like Christmas. Everyone gets together to drink, talk shop, and drink. Everyone waits in anticipation for Santa — Sundar Pichai — to come out and give us all our presents. Now, I/O makes a lot of parents — developers and bloggers — panic it's...
The ASUS ZenFone 2 came to the stage this week, hot on the heels of flagships from three of the largest manufacturers in the world. While this phone may not quite go toe-to-toe with the 2K displays and the phenomenal cameras we've seen from the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the LG G4, the ZenFone 2 is quite prepared to take on a few other well-known phones and the niches they currently fill....
Messaging has only diversified in an age of Whatsapp and Viber, but the lowly text message is still highly popular and still highly used by millions. Texting on your smartphone isn't limited to just the app that comes on your phone anymore, and even then, most phones sold in the United States are shipping with at least two messaging apps, sometimes three if the carrier includes one....
We reveal the results of this week's poll about which battery feature is most important. And the winner is....
A smartphone can have the most wonderful features in the world, but they don't mean anything if your phone can't stay on. This, understandably, makes the battery one of the more important features in your phone. And while battery technology may not appear to have moved the leaps and bounds that many other aspects of our phones —such as cameras and displays — have in recent years,...
The G4 is here, in all its leather-clad glory, and while the phone certainly strikes a pose, did it strike fear into the hearts of its competitors? LG has tried to reposition its flagship and attract some of the users that Samsung lost when it cast aside removable batteries and microSD card slots in the Galaxy S6. And while it will take some time for us to dig into the phone's...
The LG G4 is finally official. Is it everything you hoped it would be? While we may have had some ideas heading into today's events in New York and London, the LG G4 was a phone that we couldn't know for sure until it jumped out of leaked images and into our hands. Well, it's in our hands now, and we can now begin to see just where it falls in this year's crop of smartphones. And of...
Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to reading. Nowhere is this more true than reading on your phone. Whether you're reading on a 4-inch budget phone or a top-of-the-line phablet, reading on your phone is unique to each and every voracious bookworm that does it. Some will only read on their tablet, some will squeeze in a few pages anywhere they can — and we do mean...
Gallery apps are one of the many pre-loaded apps that most manufacturer's will give you their own special version of. Samsung has the Samsung Gallery, Motorola has the Motorola Gallery, and so on. While we call many of the apps that manufacturers load onto our phones bloatware, these galleries are not counted among them. But as we've gone through our latest series on Android...
