We found out yesterday that the Nexus 5 will not receive an official update to Android Nougat. The good news is that this is a Nexus device we are talking about. As could be expected developer support is still pretty huge on this device. In a matter of hours developer "Santhosh M" had an...
If you have a Nexus 5 or Nexus 7 from three years ago then you my friend know how to take care of a phone or tablet. One good reason to keep a Nexus device this long is the fact that Google does such a good job of keeping their devices updated with the latest and greatest versions of Android...

Motorola announced the new Moto Z a few weeks ago. While I am excited to see a phone that features what will be the closest thing to real modularity so far, I am a bit disappointed that the phone won't actually be released for several months. I am pretty excited to get my hands on this device...
