We all know that what sets the Android OS apart from its competition is its open-source nature which gives us the ability to customize and tweak the interface to suit our own needs. Of course, the ability to create such “custom ROMs” requires a certain level of technical expertise which a lot of everyday users don’t have. Specialized teams of developers have been working hard to build such ROMs, that not only replace the existing interface your device features, but in most cases also enhance the overall performance of the device.
My first touch screen phone was an old Nokia 5233, which was pretty crude compared with today’s handsets. Never the less, it was Nokia’s Symbian OS which first wowed me as I swiped my way through the menus and widgets, wondering how I ever survived with just a keypad.
Even though I could never imagine myself moving back to that creaking old handset, it’s a little sad that Nokia have announced that their 808 PureView phone will be their last phone to use the Symbian operating system.

While 5G is certainly a revolution in a macro sense, how is it going to affect you, the wireless consumer? If you’re interested in learning more about T-Mobile 5G service specifically, you’ve come to the right place.
As with the other big wireless carriers in the United States (Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint), T-Mobile is putting a huge priority on rolling out its 5G network as quickly as possible.
Unlocking a device can be a bit of a complicated process. In fact, altering firmware to unlock devices was illegal until a week ago. Even if some carriers unlock devices for free (under certain conditions), it takes contacting customer service and dealing with cumbersome calls.

T-Mobile is ready to ease the process by releasing its new Device Unlock app.
Ever since Google releasedits official SDK for the Chromecast we’ve seen a major increase in the number of apps that support the media streamer, and in turn the Chromecast’s functionality has greatly improved.

There’s a new Eufy robot vacuum: the Eufy RoboVac L80. It’s got a nice splash of color on its top. The L80 also has a hybrid version with a mopping feature, known as the L80 Hybrid. The L80 is expected to cost $550 (or $600 for the hybrid) and land in June 2021. When you buy a robot vacuum, you’re usually stuck with one design choice: a big, black hockey puck.
