Google Assistant voice commands can now understand the Hindi language, which is spoken largely in India. However, the Android device settings must have English – India as the main language for this support to work. Google Assistant then translates Hindi voice commands to English. Google Assistant is expanding its language support in one of Android’s biggest markets—India. According to a few reports around the internet, Hindi language support is currently rolling out to supported Android devices in India, but there is a twist to it. The added support was first reported by The Android Soul , but as Android Police points out , if you live in India and have your phone set to the Hindi language, it will not work with Google Assistant. Instead, those users have to set their device language to “English – India”, and then tap or hold on the smartphone’s home button to activate Google Assistant. Users can then speak in the Hindi language, and Google Assistant will then transcribe th

While high-end devices are generally the stars of the Android world, there is a growing emphasis into quality on a budget, and that’s very visible in the tablet arena.

Unfortunately, for every great cheap Android tablet, there are tons of poorly made, clunky, and underpowered slates out there, which can make buying tablets on a budget a pain. We’re here to help.

Editor's Pick What it’s like to film with the LG V30 The LG V30 is turning out to be one of the most impressive smartphones of the year, and that's thanks to its powerful camera setup. LG has always touted the V-series as video-centric devices, so … The LG V30 was undoubtedly one of the best phones of 2017 .

The Washington Post The FCC’s new rules would make the Wireless Emergency Alert more accurate and give more granular details. The Wireless Emergency Alert has been criticized for being inaccurate and over-alerting. Some rules go into effect November 2019, while another goes into effect May 2019. The alert you see above might have been inaccurate, but it went uncorrected for 38 agonizing minutes and sent Hawaiian residents in a frenzy. It is also an alert the FCC does not want to see again with its rules to improve the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system. If you own a smartphone in the U.S., you have probably heard that shrieking sound of doom from time to time. That is the WEA system, which pushes mobile alerts from the U.S. president, for events that involve serious or extreme threats to safety of life, and for abducted children. This is also the same system that has been criticized for being inaccurate, which makes it harder to use during disasters without setting off

The ability to download videos from YouTube for offline viewing is a feature I cherish, particularly in areas where internet is a luxury. Now, the option looks to be rolling out to more countries. According to commenters on  Android Police , the download icon popped up in Iraq, Lebanon, Thailand, Palestine, Morocco, Vietnam, and Serbia. Weirdly enough, there are folks in the US, UK, and Japan that still do not have it, so we are not sure if the feature rollout is a calculated measure or a random one. To check and see if you have offline downloads, open a YouTube video on your smartphone. You should see a download icon on the same row as the Like, Dislike, Share, and Add to buttons. Pressing the download icon lets yo

Amazon Prime is Amazon’s deluxe subscription model that initially only offered free two-day shipping on select items when it started. However, it has since expanded quite a bit into a slew of varied services that run the gamut from books to movies to, yes, additional shipping perks. Sign up for Amazon Prime (free 30-day trial) This gradually increasing range of services was precipitated by a price hike in 2014 from $79 per year to $99 per year. In response to this adjustment, many Prime users really started to wonder if it was worth keeping their membership. Now that question is even more difficult to answer, because Amazon Prime’s value hinges not only on how many items you order, but also how much use you get out of its other services. Here we’ll take a look at everything that Amazon Prime encompasses in 2016 and try to figure out if it’s really worth it. Amazon Prime yearly vs monthly prices Before we get into if Amazon Prime is worth the yearly price, we want to address the
