Port of Pixel camera app to other phones shows Google is still almost unmatched in computational photography.
One of the major trends in smartphones in the past year has been the rise of computational photography — using the vast computing power of modern phones to get better pictures from the tiny lenses and sensors in our devices. However wrong Vic Gundotra was in his recent tirade against Android cameras, he was basically right in saying that improvements in software processing were arguably more important than any recent breakthroughs in phone camera hardware.
The Google Pixel is a great example of this. If you follow this stuff, you know Google’s 2016 handsets as, among other things, phones with famously good cameras. Yet on paper, the Pixels’ cameras are inferior to the HTC 10. The reason we’re still talking about the Pixel cameras a year on, and not HTC’s, is HDR+. This is enabled by default in the Pixel’s camera software, and its history can be traced back to the “GCa…

Showers can be boring (especially the lonely ones!), and shower thoughts can just end up making you feel way less relaxed than a show should. Some people also happen to sing their best when in the shower — or so we tell ourselves.
Whatever your reason for wanting music in the shower, you need a speaker in your bathroom. Cords probably aren’t the best idea (you know — death by electrocution), so you’ll want a convenient Bluetooth speaker that lets you wirelessly blast your tunes. Not all Bluetooth speakers are created equal, however, so you’ll need something that’s at least water-resistant so that you don’t fry it the first time out.
Enter the XXL shower speaker, which has a driver twice the size of usual shower speakers, blasting out your music at 3W.This powerful speaker retails for $99.99, but through Android Central Digital Offers, you pay just $19.99, a savings of 80%.
The XXL sticks to any non-porous surface via suction cup, making it perfect for shower tile, glas…

One of the (many) obstacles to higher adoption of smart home technology is the expense. Back in March, Bloomberg reported that Nest was developing a sub-$200 smart thermostat. A recent tweet from Evan Blass, better known as @evleaks, may show the new device.
