"Really Blue” Google Pixel is finally back in stock

The ‘Really Blue’ Google Pixel has been a surprise hit (as wildly colored phones typically tend to be). So much so that it has been a very difficult color to get ahold of, being out of stock in Google Play for weeks. That has now changed, with Really Blue Pixels once again available for the masses. Until they go out of stock again, that is.


Keep in mind that it’s only the 32 GB regular-sized Pixel that’s available: the Really Blue color is not an option for either 128 GB Pixel and the Really Blue 32 GB Pixel XL is still out of stock. As a matter of fact, all colors and sizes of the Pixel XL are still out of stock. It’s not clear when the Play Store will have fresh XL stocks either.
Considering Really Blue is a limited edition color choice, we had originally suspected that when stocks were depleted the first time that that would be it. Fortunately Google later confirmed more would eventually arrive. So if you’re at all interested in a Really Blue Pixel you might want to pull the trigger fast, or take your chances on holding out for the possibility of a Pixel XL showing up at some point.

Motorola event next month, could be foldable phone launch

Motorola has been working on a foldable phone for months now, according to numerous leaks this year. Fortunately, it seems like we won’t have to wait too long for the device. The manufacturer has sent out press invites to a November 13 launch event, and Android Central‘s invitation includes a teaser GIF (seen below). This teaser apparently shows an old flip phone transforming into what could be the new Motorola foldable phone. This all suggests that we’ll finally see the company’s leaked RAZR foldable phone at the event. Previous leaks paint a picture of a pricey device with upper mid-range specs. The Motorola foldable phone is tipped to arrive with a Snapdragon 710 processor (no flagship chipset here), 4GB or 6GB of RAM, and 64GB or 128GB of storage. The phone is also expected to arrive with a 2,730mAh battery, which is definitely small for a smartphone (foldable or not). As for details related to the foldable design itself, we’re apparently looking at a 6.2-inch OLED s...

Some Android app updates could cut their file sizes by 65 percent or more

As any Android smartphone owner knows, updates from the  Google Play Store  can come quite frequently for many popular apps. They can also use up data if updates are conducted on a cellular network. Today, Google announced a new approach for Android app downloads. The good news is this method could solve the problem of using a ton of data for such updates. In a blog post, Google describes the new approach, which it calls File-by-File patching. In the old days, Android apps were updated by downloading the app’s entire APK file. In 2016, the company began using the bsdiff algorithm to cut app file size updates by 47 percent. File-by-File patching can go even further, reducing app updates by an average of 65 percent. In fact, some app updates could be cut down by as much as 90 percent with this method. Normally, an APK file is compressed using a technology called Deflate, but Google says any change to the app’s original uncompressed content “can make the compres...
