The king returns
The reports regarding the Nexus 5's death have been greatly exaggerated.
Google crazy good and crazy cheap smartphone was finally resuscitated and marked "for sale" on the Google Play store yesterday in both 16GB and 32GB options. For the last couple months, Google has let its 6-inch phablet monster, the Nexus 6, be the flag bearer for the pure Google smartphone experience. Now that the Nexus 5 is back, we all once again have a sanely sized (and sanely cheap) smartphone option.
I just hope you like the color black.
Andoid Lollipop is a slow burn
Android has always had a bit of a problem getting all its smartphones around the world running the latest and greatest operating system—and Lollipop is no exception.
According to Android, Lollipop is officially on the board with only 1.6 percent install base over say 40 percent using KitKat (or even the 7 percent using Ice Cream sandwich). Google's latest software has been out in the technological wild now for about three months, and many smartphones from HTC and Motorola's Moto X (2014) are still struggling to push out updates to their users.
But at the very least, Lollipop has more installs than 2010's Froyo
