Don’t Miss These Android Stories: March 4, 2016

Another week in the books at DL. Like a few of you out there, we received our Galaxy S7 from T-Mobile this week, so as you may have guessed, we spent plenty of time playing with it and re-familiarizing ourselves with TouchWiz. Sure, we wish this phone had stock Android, but it’s still a fantastic device. Beyond Galaxy S7 fun, we received our first good look at the HTC 10, pondered the future changes in Android N, and celebrated the collaboration between the Amazon Echo and Nest thermostat.

For those possibly hoping to attend Google I/O this year, mark March 8 down on your calendars. That date is when registration opens, and if it’s going to be anything like previous years, getting in won’t be easy. Prepare your credit cards, folks.
