Why do features we see from phone makers take so long to make it into Android itself?Google likes to tell everyone that Android is all about choice. We have hundreds of great phones that all run on Android, and you'll probably be able to find exactly what you want when it comes to things like color or size or price. From the top phone makers, you also find a little extra. Sometimes, you find that same "extra" in every great phone except Google's Pixels.There's a reason this happens. Google Pixel phones do not run bare-bones Android built using only the open-source version. Like Samsung or LG or OnePlus, it takes that code and adds a little to it. But the system itself only uses the standard set of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that Google has built for Android while companies like OnePlus or Samsung use those to add in some of their own for their apps to use.That doesn't mean that the Pixel doesn't have its own features — the great call screening comes to mind, ...

Make sure prepaid is the right fit for youHaving good and affordable cellular service is an important thing for most people so there are a few important considerations when switching to an MVNO. We use our phones for everything from keeping in touch to keeping entertained when we have a few quiet moments. It's pretty great that we have such powerful machines in our pockets and nobody is happy when their service lets them down. That's why it's worth taking your time and checking out a few things before you switch carriers.This can be especially important when switching to a prepaid alternative carrier, sometimes called an MVNO. Because they aren't the ones installing new facilities and building out the physical networks they operate on, they sometimes have to do things a little differently. These differences usually mean the service is cheaper every month, but it can also pose a few problems if you haven't done your homework before you made the switch.That's what we're here for!...

Last season's two Klassiker meetings were important in sealing an eighth successive title for Bayern Munich.

Having crashed to a record defeat in last week's encounter against the All Blacks, the Wallabies will be looking to save some face against their great rivals on Sunday, read on to find out how to live stream Australia vs New Zealand 2020 Tri Nations rugby union action, no matter where in the world you are.After registering a battling 16-16 draw with New Zealand in Wellington last month, the Wallabies have gone on to suffer heavy 27-7 and 43-5 defeats in successive Tests.Dave Rennie's side's confidence will likely be at rock bottom, compounded by a mounting injury list, but the Wallabies know they must somehow try and dig out a result in front of an expectant home crowd in Brisbane.While last week's win ensured that the Kiwis claim the 2020 Bledisloe Cup title, this match is far from a dead rubber as it also serves as a Tri Nations tournament test.

Next-gen immersion in a hands-on fashion.The PS5 doesn't just bring in better graphics and higher framerates — it also gives players a new controller, the DualSense. This successor to the DualShock 4 features a higher-quality built-in microphone, a refined touchpad, an improved battery, and most importantly, haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.Those latter two features can be used by game developers in unique ways. Haptic feedback can give unique sensations, like the pattering of rain or a blast of energy, in a way that is more focused and accurate than rumble motors. Meanwhile, adaptive triggers can provide a variety of functions with different weapons due to the special physical functions that have been implemented.To provide a couple of examples, adaptive triggers are being used in Arkane Studios' Deathloop so that if a gun jams, the trigger physically locks. Meanwhile in Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, you can pull a trigger partially to fire one barrel on a particular g...

Here's hoping you're going to keep that PS4.What you need to knowP.T. was a playable teaser for Silent Hills, a reboot of the franchise from Hideo Kojima. It was canceled in 2015.Early PS5 users reported it was still playable on PS5 but that option has since been removed.Now the only way to play P.T. is on the PS4, and only if you already had it downloaded.We've known for a while that Sony's relationship with P.T., the playable teaser released by Hideo Kojima for the canceled Silent Hills, is fraught. The game was removed from the PlayStation Store in 2015 shortly after the game's cancelation, so the only way to play it was if you had downloaded it beforehand. Delete the game from the PS4 hard drive and it couldn't be redownloaded. Since it was one of the best gaming experiences of the last decade, it was worth it to hold onto.That looks to carry over onto the PS5. Multiple games reporters have said that while backwards compatibility did allow transfers to from the PS4 to...

Having a chat with the AC forums.I think it's safe to say that the Pixel 5 is one of the most interesting Android phones of 2020. The device itself might seem boring at first glance, but from a business perspective, it's fascinating.Rather than competing toe-to-toe with Samsung and Apple in the traditional flagship race, Google decided to do something different with the Pixel 5.
