Posted on by Joe Levi

When talking about phones that carry the Nexus name, we typically consider them to be iterative updates of one another – each building on the success of the one that came before. Google decided to change things up a bit last year by releasing the Nexus 6: a phablet – not a phone. Thankfully, this year Google returned the Nexus to its roots by releasing the Nexus 5X. How does it stack up against the original Nexus 5 from two years back? Let’s dive right in!Nexus 5X vs Nexus 5To begin with, both the original Nexus 5 ...

Google praises its partnership with LG for Nexus smartphones

Posted on by Jaime Rivera

While many of us have our eyes set on the more powerful and premium Nexus 6P from Huawei, we can’t ignore an interesting fact about its smaller sibling. This would be the first time that a particular OEM builds three Nexus products in a row. Other than that, we’ve only seen as many as two products from HTC, Samsung and ASUS. If you’re wondering why this is, Google sheds some light today.Dave Burke, Google’s Android Engineering VP was in a recent video press conference and three a few ...

It’s not a rule exclusive to Android, just ask iOS. Twice.But T-Mobile troubles have appeared (no, not those T-Mobile troubles) and it involves LTE ...

Tomorrow’s shaping up to be a big one for Google, and beyond bringing us the first official look at the new Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, we’re expecting to see a lot more of Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Posted on by Adrian Diaconescu

Based on the Verizon Nexus 6 debacle, and similar past pains for Nexus 7 adopters looking to activate their LTE-capable tablets on the nation’s largest wireless network, you have to figure Big Red and Google aren’t on the greatest terms.But for their mutual advantage, the two tech giants might be seeking to finally end whatever beef crippled the US cellular connectivity of recent stock Android-running devices.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow likely headed for Nexus 7 2013, despite advanced age

Android 6.0 Marshmallow might reach existing Nexus devices soon according to carrier

Posted on by Jaime Rivera

Even though we’re still betting for a possible announcement of Google’s new Nexus smartphones on September 29, there’s always a minor level of certainty. The Nexus 6 was announced on October 15 last year, so it does make sense for it to happen somewhere around these days. Obviously another big question on the table is when do existing Nexus devices get the new version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and the answer is not far off.Canadian carrier Telus has just released its software update release schedule ...

LG Nexus 5X prototype visits Geekbench with the same average specs in tow

For the umpteenth time in just the past few weeks, the LG-produced Nexus 5 (2015), aka Nexus 5X, shows what it’s made of. Literally, as a duo of new live pics seems to confirm an all-plastic construction for the long overdue sequel of the 2013 original N5, with relatively thick screen bezels, front-facing stereo speakers, and a clean, silky smooth backplate featuring both Nexus and LG ...
