A phone that went on sale three days ago cannot be the "highest-grossing phone ever." The OnePlus 5 went on sale in India and other global markets earlier this week, and the brand promptly announced two days after sales kicked off that the device was the highest-grossing phone on Amazon India during a launch week. As a result, Amazon announced that it was extending its SBI cashback offer — which sees SBI credit and debit card holders receiving a ₹1,500 cashback on the phone — until July 2. OnePlus is now touting the extension of the cashback offer via a text message that's going to everyone who registered an interest in its latest phone, which according to Amazon is over 1 million people. Conveniently, the company removed the "at launch" reference from the message, making it seem like the OnePlus 5 is the highest-grossing phone ever. The text in its entirety reads, "Thanks for making OnePlus 5 the highest-grossing phone ever! Avail Rs 1500 cashback...

"Canada… big, wide, and very, very cold!" "WHAT?!" That's the beginning of the Canada movie at Epcot, and that's the first thing that pops into my head whenever I think of our northern neighbors. Safe to say, I am not an expert on the country. Until I started to work for Android Central, my Canadian experiences consisted of Epcot and Hetalia. That said, there's a lot to be envious of looking at Canada. You've got good healthcare, you've got Justin Trudeau, you've got all that maple syrup, and the biggest chance of a riot in Canada seems to be a hockey match. If it weren't for those winters and how much more expensive technological gadgetry seems to be up there, I'd be all over it! No matter where you call your Canadian home, you can display some home screen pride this Canada Day with this pair of themes. Wallpapers This landscape wallpaper features one of Canada's most photogenic (and famous) locals: Moraine Lake. This idyl...

La polémica está servida en el debate de la semana, sección en la que los protagonistas sois vosotros; debatiendo acerca de las novedades del mundo de la tecnología en general y Android en particular. ¿Dejarías Android si WhatsApp dejase de funcionar? En el debate de la semana hablamos sobre las exclusividades. ¿Dejarías Android si tu aplicación favorita solo funcionase en la competencia? Los informes hablan, la adopción de Android es cada vez más lenta A pesar de todas las bondades de Android, el sistema suele ser criticado por un punto que cada vez es más negativo. Sí, hablamos de la tan conocida dejadez de los fabricantes a abandonar los móviles.

Desde luego hemos mejorado respecto a los primeros años (donde móviles de gama alta...

Cada versión nueva de Android tarda más en implementarse. ¿A qué se debe esta tendencia decreciente del mercado si cada vez se venden más móviles?

La aplicación de YouTube para Android TV recibe una actualización a la versión 2.0, la cual destaca por un rediseño con interesantes novedades. YouTube para Android TV recibe grandes mejoras en su versión 2.0 A pesar de no ser un sistema extremadamente popular, Android TV tiene una buena base de dispositivos instalados, gracias a fabricantes de dispositivos como Xiaomi o Nvidia, además de encontrarse integrado en algunas televisiones de Sony. Google ha actualizado su aplicación de YouTube para Android TV. La nueva versión se trata de la 2.0 e incluye un nuevo diseño y características. Lo primero que se nota a nivel estético es una adopción mejor pulida de Material Design, con colores más “planos”. El fondo es más negro y ahora el vídeo que estamos señalando se marca en blanco, haciendo un contraste que queda más visual. Por otro lado, el reproductor de vídeo también ha cambiado, abandonando la antigua estética de los controles para adoptar un estilo más parecido al que vemos en...
