5G networks have been up and running around the world since early 2019, at least in some markets. The rollout so far is touted to be much faster than 4G LTE, with broader coverage, a wide range of carriers, and a plethora of 5G smartphones and other devices to pick from compared to the same point on 4G’s deployment.

Was the Nexus series really that good, or is it just rose-tinted glasses?

Here’s a fun fact for you: Less than 0.22% of our traffic here at Android Authority came from a Nexus device in the last month. Of course, the point of this factoid is not that Nexus devices are hard to come by in 2020.

Android 7.0 Nougat review: features, updates and changes

With Android O just around the corner, Android Nougat is slowly drawing to a close as the latest and greatest version of Android. But as Nougat steadily creeps towards double digits in terms of Android version distribution, and with Android 7.1.2 now out for a number of devices, we thought it was time to revisit the Android N release. Nougat may not have delivered the same dramatic visual overhaul we were first treated to in Android Lollipop two versions ago, but Nougat does provide a lot of major improvements and refinements over Marshmallow, along with quite a few arguably more important usability changes.

Apple may be late to the smart display game, but that’s OK

If you haven’t heard, Apple is strongly rumored to be getting into smart displays, a field so far dominated by Amazon and Google with products like the Echo Show 8 and the Nest Hub.
