HTC Droid Incredible Now Available on Verizon for $200

By

You waited after the rumors for it to be announced, you waited after it was announced for the first reviews, and you waited after the reviews for it to hit the streets. Scamper on down to your local Verizon store, it’s finally here. HTC’s Android-powered Incredible went on sale Thursday for $200 on Verizon with a two-year contract.

For those who missed the early buzz, HTC’s Incredible stakes its claim as potentially the best-equipped Android device out there with a 3.7-inch OLED screen, 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 8-megapixel camera, and 8GB internal memory with a microSD expansion slot. (As our own Stewart Wolpin noted in his review, battery life and call quality could both be better, though).

How to pre-order the Google Pixel 6a right now
The Google Pixel 6a. We see the back of the phone as it's laying on top a piece of wood.

We love a good midrange smartphone, and they don't get much better than Google's Pixel A range. Ever since the launch of the range with the Pixel 3a, Google's cut-price offerings have dominated the midrange Android market with a flagship-level camera, good performance, and excellent software support. Of course, they've rarely been the most attractive of options out there -- but that looks to be at an end with the Pixel 6a's release.

With the Tensor processor, an excellent camera, and the Pixel 6's distinctive design, it's clear Google is pulling out all the stops for the Google Pixel 6a. But where can you pre-order this new midrange king? We've checked the biggest carriers and retailers to find where you can reserve your new smartphone.

Google Play Store now offers third-party app payments, but only for some users

Google will now open up its Play Store as a result of the European Union's Digital Markets Act, the company announced today. Now, any developers distributing apps or games in Europe (the European Economic Area, to be precise) will be able to sidestep the Google Play billing system with no penalty. The change comes after a similar push in South Korea.

"As of today, Google will not remove or reject updates of non-gaming apps from participating developers for offering alternative billing systems for EEA users. Google Play’s billing system will continue to be required for apps and games distributed via Play to users outside the EEA and for games distributed to users within the EEA. We expect to expand billing alternatives to developers of gaming apps for their users in the EEA, in advance of the DMA's effective date," Google's Estelle Werth, director of EU Government Affairs and Public Policy, said in a blog post.

HTC’s newest phone is a boring mid-ranger designed for the metaverse
HTC desire 22 pro in black

HTC has lifted the covers from the Desire 22 Pro, its latest smartphone that is equipped from top to bottom in metaverse functionalities (or so says HTC). HTC claims that the Desire 22 Pro can connect with its Vive Flow virtual reality glasses, allowing users to stream content from the phone’s screen to the wearable’s display. In doing so, users get to experience an expanded field of view equivalent to a 300-inch screen.

The latter is facilitated by a tech called HDCP, offering support for apps like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+. However, it is unclear if the courtesy will be extended to graphics-intensive online games which consume a lot of network bandwidth, something that requires a fast wireless connection and a processor powerful enough to handle it. That seems unlikely for the HTC Desire 22 Pro, as the phone comes armed with Qualcomm’s mid-range Snapdragon 695 chipset.
