Smartphones with the best speakers

There’s no shortage of gimmicks when it comes to smartphones. Manufacturers are known to make interesting attempts to standout from the crowd, and occasionally they do get a hit. One such case was with the HTC One M7. It was the first major Android smartphone player with dual front-facing speakers. This was in an age where the inefficient rear mono speaker prevalent.

M7 users, which included myself, immediately realized how much better the smartphone multimedia experience was with full, stereo audio. I personally had a real hard time going back to anything less.

The original BoomSound.

Fast forward to today and we don’t have the wide-spread adoption that one may have expected the feature to spark. A handful of manufacturers have come to swear by it, while most others continue to put precedence on smartphone design instead.

For the many of us who refuse to let go of this important feature, here’s today’s options for smartphones with the best external audio.

Google Pixel 2 and 2 XL

5.0″ Pixel 2 on the left and 6.0″ Pixel 2 XL on the right; both offer dual, front-facing speakers.

Google is on-board with the notion of exceptional external audio on a smartphone. We’ve seen the software giant make a push for the feature back when the Nexus program was a thing, with the Motorola Nexus 6 and Huawei Nexus 6P. Google kinda took a break with the first Pixel phone, still opting for dual speakers but with one front-facing atop and the other bottom firing.

With the Pixel 2 duo a couple months ago, we gladly saw the return of the two front-facing speakers. And they sound great – plainly loud and a well balanced sound.

Razer Phone

We got a pleasant surprise late last year when out of nowhere Razer threw down its first smartphone. The company is known for top-notch gaming hardware, and the Razer phone brings nothing less. In fact, it’s a beast by today’s standards, and even one-ups the top-end competition in a couple ways.

One of those features is the two large, front-firing speakers. Their audio is far from run-of-the-mill, as not only does each speaker has its own dedicated amplifier but the system sports Dolby ATMOS tech for a more expansive sound. This is the most powerful speaker setup we’ve seen on a smartphone.

Sony Xperia XZ1

Another manufacturer that has cemented its stance on superior smartphone audio is Sony. It hasn’t strayed from front stereo speakers since the early Xperia Z days. This was even despite being one of the first manufacturers to waterproof their smartphones.

Fast-forward to today and we have the Xperia XZ1, which despite the nomenclature change, is actually minimally different in design. This isn’t so good for progressions like improved screen-to-body ratio, but commendable through the maintenance of valued features like a dedicated camera button, long battery life, and of course, dual front speakers – which can’t be said for many of the competition.

HTC U11

As we discussed at the start, HTC’s debut of the dual, front-facing speakers (aka BoomSound) was memorable. Even as others followed suit, like Sony and Motorola, no one could match BoomSound’s quality and loudness (the competition sounded tinny in comparison). HTC held the external audio crown through the M9. Unfortunately for the HTC 10, the company took a slight step back by moving the lower speaker to a bottom-firing position.

Today, the latest U11 flagship continues that earpiece tweeter and bottom low-end combo. It still sounds great, and gets darn loud, but the dual front-facing positioning is still the better method. We can only hope HTC will revert back to its roots, but this is still miles ahead of those plain mono speakers from Samsung and LG.

ZTE Axon 7

Due to its age, the ZTE Axon 7 is more-so the most budget-friendly item on our list. It’s not usual to consider an Android phone that’s over a year old, but in this discussion, a buyer may put priority on things like sound and price. Especially since from an audio perspective, the Axon 7 can still be considered a beast, not only having great sounding front stereo speakers but also a dedicated 32-bit headphone DAC by AKM (well-known audio chip maker).

You can find the Axon 7 these days unlocked for around $400, which is significantly less than the other phones on this list (but keeps up with them from an audio perspective). It has a still capable Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM.

What do you think about today’s options of smartphones with notable external audio. Are there too little or is this feature not important to you? We’d like to hear your thoughts in the comments section below!

Google now offers audiobooks in the Play Store (get 50% off your first purchase)

Want to read more, but don’t have the time? Audiobooks are the obvious solution. Lots of people today use the time spent cooking or working out to enhance their knowledge by loading up an audiobook on their smartphone (or another device).

Aware of the trend, Google too wants to encourage people to expand their horizons, so as of this week it has started selling audiobooks through its Play Store. Customers in 45 countries are invited to browse through a collection of audiobooks in 9 languages. Many of the audiobooks available right now are under $10 and Google is offering a 50% off kind of deal for your first audiobook purchase.

But for those who prefer a more classic experience, Google is also selling digital copies of books in the Play Store.

The search giant makes a point in highlighting the fact that you don’t need a subscription to listen to audiobooks from the Play Store. We’re also told, you can use an Android/iOS device, web browser or a smart speaker/device with Google Assistant on board to listen to the titles you’ve purchased.

Users can say “Ok Google, read my book” or “Ok Google, stop playing for 20 minutes” when you need a break. But keep in mind that such deep Assistant integration with audiobooks is only available on Android phones and smart speakers set to English at this time. The good news is that the feature will start rolling out for the Assistant in Android Auto in the US soon enough.

To conclude, we should note that playing audiobooks can be done across multiple devices, so users will be able to resume their reading from the exact point they left off no matter which device they choose to use.

Present at the Bett Show in London, Acer unveiled two new affordable Chromebooks, as well as a Chromebox. The announcement came immediately after Lenovo also unveiled a series of new Chromebooks for 2018.

Acer Chromebook 11 C732

The first laptop is the Acer Chromebook 11 C732, which is a simple, fan-less notebook aimed at the education customers. With this in mind, Acer has made the Chromebook quite durable adding an IP41 rating which ensures the device is safeguarded from dripping water, so it can be used regardless of weather conditions.

The Chromebook 11 C732 is also compliant with the stringent US MIL-STD 810G military standard that adds sand and dust intrusion protection, as well. Thanks to its durable corner-shield structure and rubber bumper surrounding the spill-resistant keyboard, the Chromebook can survive a drop from heights up to 122 cm / 48 inches.

Acer will be offering the new laptop with either an Intel Celeron dual-core processor N3350 or Intel Celeron quad-core processor N3450 and 16GB, 32GB or 64GB storage options. Battery life is rated at 12 hours.

The Chromebook 11 C732 offers 4G LTE connectivity on certain models, on top of the Bluetooth 4.2 and 2×2 MIMO 802.11ac Wi-Fi. There’s also USB-C and USB 3.0 and a microSD card slot.

The new Chromebook can be purchased with either an 11.6-inch IPS HD touchscreen display (C732T) or a non-touch IPS or TN HD display (C732). In both cases, students will be able to take advantage of a hinge that opens a full 180 degrees, allowing the laptops to be laid flat on a surface.

The Chromebook 11 C732 will arrive in the US in March, starting at $299 for the touchscreen model and $279 for the non-touchscreen one.

Chromebook Spin 11

According to Acer, the new Spin 11 is the successor of the R 11 model. It comes with the same 360-degree hinge, but it offers a few extra things like two USB-C 3.1 ports, which join the previous two USB 3.1 ports and microSD card, reader.

The laptop can be configured with various Intel processor, including a quad-core Intel Pentium N4200, quad-core Celeron N3450 or a dual-core Celeron N3350. Customers can opt for either 4GB or 8GB of RAM in combination with 32GB or 64GB of built-in storage.

Like the Chromebook 11 C732, the Spin 11 takes advantage of a touch-enabled 11.6-inch HD IPS display that can be flipped all the way back allowing for four different user modes: tablet, theater, tent and traditional notebook. Acer promises the Spin 11 will be able to last up to 10 hours without a charge.

But the big highlight here is the embedded Wacom Electro-Magnetic Resonance technology which allows users to use a Wacom EMR stylus with the laptop.

Both Chromebooks run Chrome OS on board and come pre-loaded with the Google Play Store.

The Acer Chromebook Spin 11 will be available starting March for $349 and up.

Chromebox CXI3

Last but not least, Acer unveiled the Chromebook CXI3. With a slim profile, the device can be attached to a monitor or stand vertically with the included stand. It’s powered by an 8th-gen Intel Core processor and offers the services of a microSD card slot, USB and audio jack. On the back, there’s Gigabit Ethernet, three USB ports, HDMI and USB-C.

The new Chromebook is targeted at education and commercial customers. No word on price and availability just yet.

Google quickened the pace of its push into augmented reality this week, with the announcement of Article – a 3D model viewer designed to bring more AR capabilities to smartphones and tablets.

Google’s Article is compatible with all browsers (on mobile or desktop) and allows users to view and interact with digital web content superimposed on, or blended into the real world. Basically, with the new tool users will be able to find a model on the web and watch it come alive before them. For example, they will be able to place the model in a room and physically walk around it to inspect its characteristics.

When Article is loaded into a mobile AR-capable browser, an AR button will appear the bottom right, which when tapped will activate the phone’s camera. Once they’re placed, models can be moved around by tapping-and-dragging or turned using a two finger swipe gesture. Subtle features such as shadows and lighting are also part of the package, allowing the model to better blend into reality.

Google find itself among many companies that are rushing to take advantage of the surging interest in VR and AR. The company has been working on AR technologies for several years now and in 2017 it unveiled ARCore, a software development kit (SDK) meant to help developers integrate support for AR in their applications.

Article is just one of the many prototypes Google is working on right now, so there’s still lots of work to be done on it. Even so, the company wants to encourage more and more users to start experimenting with mobile AR on the web.

For those interested in learning more about experimental browsers and how to start creating your own prototypes, you’re invited to visit Google’s devsite.

Google also promises that in the next few months, there will hundreds of millions of Android and iOS devices available to provide AR experiences. The AR virus is spreading and Google wants to make sure you catch it!

Have a bootlooping Nexus 5X from Project Fi? Now you can exchange it for a new Moto X4

Unfortunately, LG has built up a reputation in recent years for being the company with bootlooping phones. The bootlooping epidemic started back in January 2016 with the LG G4 and soon spread out to other smartphone models like the LG G5, V10, V20 and the Nexus 5X.

Google for its part has been trying to provide some compensation for users who purchased the Nexus 5X with Device Protection from its own Project Fi. Although the solution was deemed unsatisfactory by most of the subscribers affected.

Initially, Google offered Nexus 5Xs owners who also purchased Device Protection for $5/month a replacement unit. But the search giant quickly ran out of refurbished 5X models. So instead, Google gave affected owners the option to choose between either a $100 credit on the Google Store or a check in the amount of $53. But given that customers spent $350 on the Nexus 5X, Google’s proposed remedies didn’t seem to be fair at all!

Fortunately, it seems Google has had a change of heart and will be doing the right thing after all. According to the Android Police, Project Fi is now offering the Moto X4 (Android One) – which is currently sold for $399 –  as a replacement for faulty Nexus 5Xes.

Obviously, you will still have to pay the $69 deductible for Device Protection, but at least now you can be sure you’ll get a worthy replacement.

If you too are holding on to a bootlooping Nexus 5X you purchased from Project Fi with Device Protection, then you need to get in touch with customer service right away and ask your phone be exchanged with a brand new Moto X4.

Sadly, if you already took Google on its (earlier) offer and received either $100 Google Store credit or $53 check, you might not be eligible to get a Moto X4. However, you’re still encouraged to try and reach out to customer service and see what they have to say about it.

6 Apps to control your Windows 10 PC from Android

Whether it be a PC or laptop running Windows 10, it’s sometimes not always practical to carry it around with you. Something you do tend to have to hand almost constantly is your Android smartphone. Microsoft offers the ability to remotely control your Windows PC and here are the ways in which you can do that.

There are a few ways in which these remote apps work. Some of them connect via the remote desktop connection protocol that can operate over a data connection and offer a way to view the entire desktop via a remote device. Another protocol used is VNC, which is a similar method to RDP using a different protocol. Other methods will simply allow you to control the mouse and keyboard on your Android device but won’t actually allow you to display the remote display.

Chrome Remote Desktop

One of the most popular methods of accessing a remote machine is through the Chrome browser itself. You’ll need a Google account and be signed in on both the remote machine and the device you want to access from. You’ll be able to screen share, enter text, and have all the resources available as if you were sitting in front of the PC.

Chrome Remote Desktop

TeamViewer

Teamviewer Google Market

Most of heard of TeamViewer as it’s probably the most popular app for remote desktop sharing. It works by installing a host program on the remote PC and then using a client app to connect to the assigned ID. Again, it works flawlessly and allows you to even establish a secure connection to transfer files to the PC.

TeamViewer

Splashtop 2

While the offerings up to this point have been free to use, Splashtop 2 offers a paid package for an enhanced experience and is popular amongst those that want a better performance from the remote connection. There is a free version to test it out.

Splashtop 2

Microsoft Remote Desktop

Microsoft offers its own official RDP app for accessing your PC remotely. It works as good as you’d expect and can save multiple sessions for quickly accessing your remote connections. You’ll need to make sure you set up appropriate port-forwarding if you want to access your home PC away from your local network.

Microsoft Remote Desktop

DroidMote

This app can provide a remote mouse in case you find yourself without a mouse, which is perfect for PC’s connected to a TV for example being used as a media PC. It works over WiFi and does what it says on the tin.

DroidMote

VNC Viewer

This app sits right behind RDP as one of the most popular remote connection methods. It lets you see the screen of the remote PC and interact with it. There are not the enhanced features such as file transfer with VNC, but is the go-to app of choice for connected to remote PC’s that are off-site and outside of your local network.

If you have any apps that you go to for connecting to your PC remotely then please drop us a comment below. These are just a snapshot of some of the many remote access apps available on Google Play so let us know your favorite.

Android Auto users reporting pixelated screens, Google working on a fix

Android Auto is Google’s answer to bringing Android to the car while keeping drivers, and those around you, safe. However, some new reports are filling up various support forums stating that the screens on some Android Auto units are pixelated.

The units themselves are made by third party manufacturers so the hardware is relatively unqiue across the board with reports extending across the entire range of hardware and software versions. Users are reporting the screens show blocky or pixelated areas of the screen.

Google hasn’t offered an explanation as to the cause of the pixelation on the Android Auto units but did say it is investigating and working on a fix. Presumably that means Google thinks it can fix things with a software update rather than something more fundamentally attributable to the hardware.

It’s good to see Google quickly reacting to these reports and hopefully a software patch will follow shortly to quash the issues users are having.

Have you seen this with your Android Auto unit? Drop us a comment below and let us know.

The complete list of Project Fi-compatible phones

Google this week announced an “unlimited” option of sorts for Project Fi users dubbed Bill Protection.

Google’s Project Fi service is designed for those who prefer not paying a flat fee for wireless service each month. Instead, subscribers are charged for the data they use. The base bill is set at $20/month and gives you unlimited talk and text plus $10 per gigabyte.

But while this system favors subscribers who rarely use data, it’s not too appealing for heavy users. That’s why Google introduced Bill Protection. The new plan caps every user’s bill at $80 per month regardless of how much data is used.

Users will still pay $20/month for unlimited talk and text and $10 per gigabyte of data, but instead of letting the numbers climb unrestricted, Google will be capping it at $60 even if you used more than 6GB of data. Google says it may slow data speeds once you’ve hit 15GB of data in a month.

With the new Bill Protection place in place, it might be the time for some customers to revisit Project Fi. But to be able to use Project Fi you’ll need a compatible phone. Below you’ll find the complete list of phones that work with Google’s MNVO.

Note: You need an unlocked North American model for Project Fi to work on it.
