Google Play Games Version 1.5 Arrives

Google Play Games Version 1.5 ArrivesGoogle has introduced an update to Google Play Games, where some would say that changes that were thrown into the mix this time around would make the entire app worth downloading and installing. Of course, there will always be someone out there to splash cold water on a particular app or program, but is Google Play Games before version 1.5 really that bad as you think? Still, a trio of major changes that ought to go down well with everyone would include the ability to check out invitations for multiplayer games, to be able to see who is playing a game, as well as the ability to perform a search for something fun to play in Find Games.

    TV Streaming Head-to-Head: Netflix vs Hulu vs Amazon Prime

    TV Streaming Head-to-Head: Netflix vs Hulu vs Amazon Prime

    One of the more annoying things about Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Amazon’s television streaming libraries is the vast difference between the selection available. It would be almost impossible to get a thorough idea of who has the better library without searching for hundreds of TV shows on each service and comparing them manually. So we did just that.

    Red Nexus 5 arrives on Google Play at last

    red-nexus-5I am quite sure that many of us have heard of the age old proverb, that “good things come to those who wait”. Those who happen to celebrate the Lunar New Year will know that red is an auspicious color, so you would see plenty of red clothes being worn, not to mention at some homes, red cloth that adorns the doorpost to usher in luck, prosperity and good fortune for the rest of the coming year. Having said that, I am quite sure that the red Nexus 5 that has finally arrived on Google Play has nothing to do with the Lunar New Year, but rather, the time is just ripe for it to happen. The first red Nexus 5 device is now available on Google Play, and another milestone is achieved – this is the first Google phone that will arrive in a trio of different colors – and they are, red, white and black.

    First launched in October last year in a partnership between LG and Google, the Nexus 5 has picked up its fair share of praise and bouquets, coming across as a stylish, high-performance Google phone. The Nexus 5 was (and still is) powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, where it is accompanied by a stunning 5-inch Full HD IPS display with Android 4.4, KitKat, the latest version of the Android OS, as the mobile operating system of choice..

    Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company, shared, “The Nexus line has always been about doing things differently and consumers who share this philosophy have been our most loyal fans. We’re carrying this thinking over to the red Nexus 5, which we think will catch the eye of consumers who want to make an even bolder statement.”

    If you are interested in picking up the red Nexus 5 for yourself, you can do so on Google Play from this month in the U.S.,Canada, U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia, Hong Kong, India, Japan and Korea, while wider availability will happen across Europe before February is over.
