Working from home? Need to always be ready for the next meeting? The Jabra Evolve 75 Bluetooth headset is perfect if you're already moving around a lot anyway. Right now the headset is down to $216.80 at Amazon . That's a huge drop in price since it normally sells for around $280. It has only dropped this low one other time so far this year, and this is the best price we've seen since last year's Black Friday sale. Grab it while you can before the price jumps back up. [thrifter:319228 template:reco cache:reset We like Jabra. They make good headsets. Whether you need something to pair with your Samsung smartphone or you just need something that's powerful but inexpensive , Jabra seems to pop up everywhere. So it makes sense that Jabra would have one of the best office headsets around, too. The Evolve 75 uses Bluetooth 4.2 technology and can work with pretty much any Bluetooth device. It actually has dual Bluetooth connectivity so you can stay connected for you

Google has also announced new guidelines to ensure preview assets accurately represent an app or game. What you need to know Google has updated its Play Store policies to crack down on app listings that mislead users. The policy change is expected to be enforced sometime later this year. Any app that doesn't comply with the new policies will be removed from the Play Store. Google's Play Store is filled with thousands of great apps and games. However, there are also a ton of apps on the store with misleading titles and catchy icons. Google has now announced a new policy change that will require app listings to include only precise and meaningful information. Google says its goal with the new policy change is to ensure developers keep their app metadata "recognizable and unique." App titles will now be limited to 30 characters, and developers will be prohibited from including graphic elements to promote the app or indicate its ranking. Additionally

Best answer: Yes. Ultra Mobile does support 5G, but you need to have a 5G-enabled phone to access the next-generation wireless network. You will also need to have an Ultra phone plan. What is Ultra Mobile? Ultra Mobile focuses on offering cost-effective phone plan options, so you're not spending hundreds on a phone plan. It's a Mobile Virtual Network Operator that uses on T-Mobile's network, and because it runs on T-Mobile's network, it supports many devices that are made for the U.S. market. According to the company's site, its 5G network covers 200 million people in 6,000 cities. Because T-Mobile's network coverage is vast, most people won't have trouble having a network connection. The only time you'll find yourself having issues is in more rural areas, in which case you might encounter dead zones. However, if you're planning to use the service for 5G, you'll need a phone that enables 5G services. Ultra Mobile does have nationwide 5G

When Samsung brings the Note back in 2022, it probably won't look like what we've come to expect. It's been a good couple of years since I last used a big-screened Samsung phone for any length of time. When I have used a Galaxy S, it's usually been one of the smaller models. That said, I've also used and enjoyed the Galaxy Note series over the years, many of which have ranked among the best Android phones . But spending more time with the Galaxy S21 Ultra over the past week or so has convinced me that this , and not the Note, is the future of big-screened, slab-shaped Samsung phones. Or, to put it another way, the Galaxy Note, in its current form, is obsolete . It seems that Samsung itself might be of that same opinion, as the boss of the company's smartphone division has basically told us not to expect a Galaxy Note 21 this year, with the Note instead expected to make a return in 2022. As for why that's the case? Well, I don't want to go too f

A great option for today's work-from-home needs. Shure is one of the most pedigreed names in the audio business, with a range of incredibly popular and instantly recognizable microphones, from the SM7B to the SM57 to the gorgeous Super 55 Deluxe. These models have been around for decades and have established Shure as an undeniable force in recording, but in more recent years, there's been an increasing demand for portable USB microphones — not so much for musicians looking to record their next album, but for podcasters, streamers, and voiceover artists who want to record audio without the need for expensive and bulky equipment like XLR interfaces and pre-amps. Last winter, I reviewed the Shure MV7 , calling it "the perfect podcasting microphone" thanks to its great sound, versatility, powerful app, and options for either USB or XLR output. It's essentially a more compact and modern SM7B, and I still use it for every recording of the Android Central Podcast

Chatting with the AC forums. Recent reports from the Apple vs. Epic Games trial unearthed communications between Apple executives, confirming that the company had at least considered bringing its popular iMessage service over to Android as far back as 2013 . It's pretty easy to understand why Apple wanted to protect its ecosystem lock-in, but it's also interesting to speculate what might have been . Sure, we have no shortage of great messaging apps over here on Android , but being able to securely communicate with our iPhone wielding friends on their preferred chat app would have been nice too. So what say you, faithful Android community? Would you have rushed to download iMessage for Android to join club blue bubbles? I probably would have. We want to hear from you — If iMessage was available on Android, would you use it? Why or why not? Let us know! Join the conversation in the forums! Source: androidcentral
