In this week's news we have Motorola phones getting nougat, new Google products announced, and Samsung continues to have trouble with exploding phones. Here are some of the best articles of the week.
A Replacement Galaxy Note 7 Caught Fire on Southwest Airlines
While this incident doesn't mean the new, replacement Galaxy Note 7 units are having the same issue as before, this certainly doesn't bode well for Samsung. This person on Southwest Airlines says he had his Galaxy Note 7replaced by AT&T on September 21st. If we remember back, we told you that AT&T had new units of the Samsung smartphone to replace the defective ones on that very date.
Motorola Announces Which Phones will Receive Android 7.0 Nougat
Motorola's reputation for fast and prompt OTA updates has been a bit shaky since they were acquired by Lenovo. There were times when Motorola would beat Google to the punch when it came to the latest Android update. They still do a respectable job with updates to some of their devices, but they have seemingly forgotten others. We're seeing Moto devices that are exclusive to Verizon receive security updates before devices that are not tied to a carrier (like the Moto X Pure Edition).
Meet the New Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL
After months and weeks of leaking little by little, the newest phones from Google have arrived. This time, there is a special emphasis on the "Made by Google" part, much more than what we have been used to with the Nexus lineup. The Pixel lineup is Google taking the reins back in its own hands, as the devices no longer remain content with just being developer reference devices. These are the phones that are made with the end consumer in mind rather than enthusiasts, with a view to pull a consumer deeper into the Google ecosystem with a slew of exclusive (as of now) features.
