Android 9 Pie is barely taking its first steps on the market, but this has not prevented users, especially those who own the most modern or powerful smartphones, from anxiously waiting for their device to receive the latest version of Google’s OS. This is why Sony wanted to address the topic by using a simple infographic explaining the process of adapting its interface to a new OS. This way we can see why we must wait some time in order to enjoy the latest Android updates.
If we do not own a Google Pixel or an Essential Phone, we just have to wait for our phone’s manufacturer to release a stable update, which takes time even for those brands and models who use a barely modified Android version. Continue reading “Why do Android updates take so long to roll out?”

The price of the phone was $599, which was quite high and almost the same as its big sibling, $699.
When we connect our PC or phone to a Wi-Fi network, we just have to type in the password once, as the OS usually stores the password so the device automatically connects to the network without having to type the password over and over again.

Every time our files are leaving our PC for whatever reason, for example when we share them with others on the internet or on the cloud, it is recommended to encrypt them, especially if those are personal files.

In order to keep fighting for the users’ privacy on the internet, the GDPR was introduced in May. This is the EU’s new data protection law that all European companies gathering or using their users’ data must comply with.
