You can now play Google Stadia on practically any Android phone

Filed under: Google Gaming Tech You can now play Google Stadia on practically any Android phone Only Pixel, Samsung, OnePlus, and some gaming phones are officially supported, however By Sean Hollister@StarFire2258 Jun 11, 2020, 2:47pm EDT Share this story Share this on Facebook Share this on Twitter Share All sharing options Share All sharing options for: You can now play Google Stadia on practically any Android phone Linkedin Reddit Pocket Flipboard Email image Google's Stadia cloud gaming service is still riddled with limitations, but one of the biggest hurdles to adoption may have just disappeared: you no longer need a specific Android phone to give it a try. Google is experimentally opening up support to any Android phone that can install the Stadia app, which means most devices with Android 6.0 or later should fit the bill. Now that Stadia is free to try and works on practically any Android phone, there's little reason to hesitate. To enable it, download and sign into the Stadia app, open settings, tap "Experiments," and then toggle "Play on this device." We're curious if it will work on Android tablets as well. (I don't have one to test during quarantine, sadly.) And while you're at it, why not try Google's just-announced official touchscreen controls? Google says they'll work for every game, and here's what they look like as of V1: imageWhen Stadia launched last November, it only supported Google's Pixel phones, though it did add Samsung, Asus, and Razer devices on February 20th. Most of OnePlus' modern devices are now supported as well. Here's Google's full list of officially supported devices, though they alone won't guarantee a good experience: cloud gaming requires a fast, stable internet connection with a minimum of friction on your home network. Nvidia's GeForce Now cloud gaming service, which has been struggling to get many major game publishers to allow their games to be streamed, will reportedly be trying a similar experiment soon, opening up beta support for more Android TV devices. Both cloud gaming services are under pressure to convince gamers as soon as possible because all eyes are on Sony and Microsoft's next-gen console announcements, one of which we're watching at 4PM ET / 1PM PT today.

Throwback: Mobile camera tech was amazing even before iPhone and Android

Credit: Ryan-Thomas Shaw / Android Authority There are few things we take more for granted than snapping a quick photograph with our phones. The rise of computational photography paired with multiple-lenses and the inherent convenience factor have made smartphones the default choice for most users. While it has been years since smartphones completely destroyed the point and shoot market, even high-end SLRs have been facing the heat. However, the camera phone heavy-hitters of today stand on the shoulders of giants. Sure, it might seem that we're seeing a rapid increase in the pace of photography-related innovations but you'd be surprised to know just how many of these have been attempted before, sometimes well over a decade ago. In fact, in many ways, we've come a full circle. Let's look at some of the defining moments in phone camera history and how they shaped modern camera phones.

Is it fixable? Where do I take it to get it repaired? What am I going to use in the meantime? Do I need a new phone? Can I afford any of this? The questions that a smashed handset inevitably raise aren't fun, and breaking a phone in the current situation around the world right now is almost unthinkable. We're relying on them more than ever, and the availability of repair services is at an all-time low as most shops and electronics stores globally remain shut. All that said, for many of us, it's a fact of life that our phones are going to need repairs at some point. Whether it be a simple drop shattering the display or a battery that will need to be replaced after a couple of years, the right phone can make remedying these issues simple enough that, with a little patience,...

Google suspended a popular Android podcast app because it catalogs COVID-19 content

© Podcast Addict Podcast Addict, an Android podcast app with millions of users, was suspended over the weekend because it lists COVID-19 content. The app's creator, Xavier Guillemane, tells The Verge that on Saturday, Google suspended and removed the ads from his nine-year-old app because it violated a new policy for developers that requires any app with a reference to COVID-19 to be "published, commissioned, or authorized by official government entities or public health organizations." Guillemane's app catalogs publicly available podcast RSS feeds, which he doesn't control. The content includes news shows, talk shows, and a variety of programming that mentions the pandemic and virus. He says Google told him he'd need to address this problem and then republish his app under a different name to be reinstated. Guillemane says other podcasting apps, including Google's own, list these shows, as well, although he doe...
