Happy birthday, dear Google and Android! Happy birthday to you! That's right, this week sees two big birthdays: Google turns 20 and Android turns 10. Both are milestone birthdays as well which makes this a little bit more cool. Since our favorite company and OS had birthdays, we spent a lot of the week strolling down memory lane. For Google, we took a look at 20 top tips and tricks in all of Google's services, straight from the horses' mouths. Then we looked at some of the significant milestones that Google hit along its way to becoming one of the the biggest companies in the world. Then we turned our sights to Android and the first Android phone to hit the market.
But we can't be all Google all the time, so we looked at a lot of phones this week too. We went in depth with the Samsung Galaxy Note 9's battery and camera. We got a look at the new Xiaomi Mi 8. Is Pocophone the new OnePlus, and if so, what does that mean for the OnePlus 6? We're also looking forward to Razer's next gaming phone, due out soon. All that and more in this busy week of Android!
