The most common complaint about Android updates is that they are notoriously slow to release, historically speaking. Worse still, handset support is promptly re-evaluated once new models come along. Consumers have been complaining about this problem to OEMs and Google for years. Fortunately, the situation is changing following the arrival of Project Treble.
Because of Treble, OEMs will have no excuse for not consistently updating your phone
News
Project Treble was introduced as part of Android 8.
Xiaomi Mi Neckband Bluetooth Earphones ProThere's no doubt that the Mi Neckband Bluetooth Earphones Pro deliver on their promise of affordable active noise-cancelling, but the sound quality doesn't quite hit the mark. Add to that the lackluster build quality and I wouldn't really recommend buying the Mi Neckband Bluetooth Earphones Pro unless you can't stretch your budget and active noise-cancelling is a must-have feature for you.

Apple’s aging iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus never had the largest batteries, even when brand new. However — as Apple has shown time and time again — size doesn’t always matter. The company spent years using smaller batteries than its Android rivals yet never lost much battery life. How did the iPhone 7 battery perform? Let’s find out.

Fans of LG’s work on previous Nexus phones are anxiously looking forward to the so-called Nexus 5 (2015), a device that has leaked extensively over the past few weeks.
One detail that has eluded us so far is the LG Nexus’ release date, but if this report from Korean website MKPost is accurate, we’re only a month away from the phone’s grand entrance.
MKPost claims that the Nexus 5 (2015) will hit the Google Store on September 29.

If you’re over the painful prices and inconvenient limits, it’s time to get away from Canada’s largest mobile networks. The country made a push to encourage competition among carriers in the late 2000s, and it’s working out so far. Koodo Mobile is one of the best carriers to come out of this push, and it’s easy to see why. Here are the best Koodo Mobile phones, plans, and so much more.
A top-of-the line phone brings with it amazing specifications, but also an increasingly higher price tag. Sometimes all you want is great value for your money. OnePlus has been the torch bearer in this segment, offering all the essentials while skipping out on superfluous extras. The end result is a phone that gets you most of the must-have features at a significantly lower price point.
Samsung traditionally reserves its best features and performance for the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series.

Motorola is, by all accounts, a brand on the rise right now. LG’s exit from the smartphone game opened the door for Moto to climb onto the US market podium, just behind Apple and Samsung. It’s even rosier in the budget market, where Motorola has risen to the undisputed number two.
However, that very same budget market portfolio is starting to feel left behind. Partnerships and low prices are pushing sales instead of innovation or genuine excitement.

With the release of much-anticipated Star Wars: The Last Jedi upon us, OnePlus has announced the launch of a Star Wars-branded limited edition of the OnePlus 5T.
The latest episode of the epic space opera film series is the second film in the Star Wars sequel trilogy and releases on December 15. Interestingly, last year, SoftBank unveiled two Sharp phones in Japan with Star Wars theme (one for the light side, and other for the dark side) around the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Kodi and Plex are competing media centers — they give you access to all your videos, images, and songs from one place. They also let you stream content to multiple devices and watch live TV channels. Although Kodi and Plex serve a similar purpose, they are different in many ways. Both offer unique features, which makes it hard to proclaim one as being better than the other.

Replacing both the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 in one swoop, the new HTC Nexus 9 has finally been officially unveiled by Google today. The Nexus 9 is the first Nexus device from HTC since the original Nexus One and also marks the Taiwanese company’s return to the tablet market.
Although early rumors claimed that the tablet would offer a unibody metallic design that was somewhat akin to the HTC One only in a tablet form, the final design is actually much closer to the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013).
