There are still a few Nexus handsets that have yet to see the update, but today we can check one more off the list – the Nexus 4. The OTA, which is available now, weighs in at only 174MB and will bring your device from build number LRX22C to LMY47O. Android 5.1 is mostly a bug fix update, removing most of the annoying inconsistencies Android 5.

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority I have a rule in my home: The TV is for the living room. I don’t like seeing massive idle black screens in every room, and I certainly don’t like to have any distractions in the bedroom. But there are rare instances where I’m too exhausted or too busy, and I wish I could watch my favorite shows or teams while doing the dishes or before collapsing asleep.

The highly-anticipated follow up to the Galaxy Note 3 brought with it the latest and greatest processing package, a gorgeous QHD display, fast charging capabilities, and the myriad of software features that Samsung is known for. That said, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is not without its issues. Today, we are going to explore some of these problems that users have been experiencing with their device, as well as providing some potential solutions on how to deal with them.

TL;DR Google isn’t supporting its Google Playground and AR Stickers apps on the Pixel 4a or future phones. It wants to focus on augmented reality for a “much wider audience.” Don’t get too attached to Google’s Playground app or AR Stickers — they won’t carry over if you’re buying a new Pixel phone.

TL;DR The new T-Mobile Essentials plan offers a “just the basics” service for $60 per month. However, unlike the T-Mobile One plans, taxes and fees are not included with that $60 price. With that in mind, it’s hard to recommend Essentials when for a few bucks more you can get T-Mobile One. The plan will cost $60 for one line, $30 for the second line, and $15 for each of the next lines (up to six lines total).

After a long wait, the Xbox Series X and Series S are finally out! Now you just have to figure out how to get your hands on one. Both are backwards compatible with an enormous catalog of games. But if you really want to get the next-gen experience you’ll need to pick up some of the best Xbox Series X games on the market. Right now, there aren’t too many pure next-gen releases, but there are a lot of cross-gen games that automatically upgrade whenever you pick up the new consoles.

Ryan-Thomas Shaw / Android Authority Asus smartphones aren’t the most popular on the market. However, the company has consistently created the best gaming phone each year with its ROG Phone series. Additionally, the Zenfone series earns high praise each year. With that in mind, you might be curious about Zen UI, the software skin you’ll find on all those phones.
