The same combination of radios used to plot your position on Google Maps or tell your favorite apps exactly where you are located will now be used to help first responders more accurately pinpoint your location when you place an emergency call. Google just rolled out Emergency Location Service for Android 2.3 and higher, covering up to 99 percent of Android handsets with that breadth of support. But it’s up to your mobile network provider and your local EMS to support this upgrade for enhanced 911 (E911) calls.

The Google Pixel 4 is the first Pixel device with more than one rear camera, marking a long-overdue move for the company in a time when triple cameras are expected. Google was able to work magic with the single-camera Pixel phones, particularly with Portrait Mode, which traditionally requires a second rear camera. Now, the company has taken to its AI blog to explain how the Pixel 4 Portrait Mode improves upon things.

TL;DR Samsung will reportedly release a Bixby-powered smart speaker next month. The product is said to cost around $300 and Samsung would market it as a high-end music player. This would put it in competition with the Apple Home Pod and the Google Home Max. The Wall Street Journal says the speaker will be bowl-shaped with legs on the bottom and lights on top (hope those lights are shaped like eyes for the proper Batteries Not Included experience).

MWC 2014 Coverage brought to you by: Bitdefender Mobile Security & Antivirus for Android. After months of rumors surrounding details about the Galaxy S5, Samsung has finally unveiled its latest flagship at its Unpacked event in Barcelona. While some of the rumors were right, there certainly were more than a few surprises with the Galaxy S5. So what’s all new with the newest member of the Galaxy S family? Let’s jump in and take a look at the specs.

Huawei MediaPad M5 Light Huawei's MediaPad M5 Lite is a fine mid-range tablet for passively consuming media from the couch or the back seat of the car. It's not for professionals or serious gamers who need high-performance hardware. The Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite is a tablet the whole family can share. With multiple user profiles, parental controls, and eye-protection for kids, the M5 Lite aims to be the focal point of your home’s mobile entertainment center.

T-Mobile has been known for some unorthodox moves, but this one is unusual even for it. The company that has championed unlimited data is now introducing a new plan with unlimited talk, text, and no data. It sounds strange, but it’s true. You can call and text to your heart’s content, but you won’t be able to use cellular data, though you can still connect to Wi-Fi for all your data needs.

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Google’s Android Auto started off with a bang in 2014. The app promised that your car’s infotainment system could communicate with your phone, and vice versa. Finally, you could make your car’s display just as powerful as the one in your pocket! However, things didn’t go as smoothly as Google likely anticipated. Manufacturer adoption of Android Auto lagged far behind that of Apple’s own system, known as CarPlay.

TL;DR The original Google Chromebook Pixel was launched back in 2013 for $1,299. After five years, the laptop has reached its end of support and won’t receive any additional updates. The Chromebook Pixel will remain usable. Back in the early days of Chrome OS when people weren’t sure if the operating system would ever succeed, Google released the ultra-premium Chromebook Pixel. While the device was fantastic, its $1,299 price tag kept most consumers away.

Although devices such as the Droid RAZR MAXX, the Galaxy Nexus and the HTC One X are obviously the cream of the Android crop, many Android fans don’t want to spend top dollar on a high-end smartphone that will become obsolete in little more than a year. Since cheap Android smartphones should be actively avoided (for reasons I’ve detailed in this previous article here), the only remaining alternative is to buy an excellent mid-range Android smartphone.

Early this week, Dropbox released version 2.4.0.2 of its Android app, bringing with it a new app icon, easier set-up and linking of a computer with the help of the device’s camera, and a few minor changes to the user interface. According to the Dropbox app page on the Google Play Store, version 2.4.0.2’s two-fold changes include the following: fix for the issue that prevented third-party apps from successful authentication, and feature for using the device’s camera to setup and link Dropbox to a computer.
