Google Photos now allows you to delete already backed up photos
Many of you already use Google Photos for all your photo backup needs. However, sometimes you may backup your photos and need to free up some space on your device.
In the latest Google Photos update, you will now be able to hit the “Free Up Space” button in the settings and it will automatically delete any duplicate photos that have already been backed up. In addition, you can also delete photos stored on your SD card from within the app too.
If using the web app, you can now opt for a smaller “High quality” photo upload size after photos have already been uploaded in “Original quality.” Doing this will save space and not count towards your Google Drive storage limits.

Selling a used phone: do’s and dont’s
Many of us tech geeks go through smartphones like they are disposable. It’s hard to resist the temptation to unbox, caress and turn on a new handset for the first time. Especially when we see updated smartphones with awesome specs and features coming out every few months!
Life is hard in the tech world, especially for our wallets. This is why it’s smarter to sell smartphones instead of going through a complete upgrade. This will help you finance your next acquisition and make another gadget enthusiast happy. After all, it makes no sense to just hoard all these expensive phones, it’s better to hand them over to someone who will give them better use.
On the flipside: Buying a used phone: do’s and dont’s

Selling is a science, though. Remember a lot of people make a living out of trading, and others become experts in the subject by studying it for years. How can the regular Joe embark on this adventure? I have sold plenty of phones and can say no bad experiences have crossed my path. In fact, I have no horror stories to tell at all, whether it’s from buying or selling pre-owned handsets. I have heard plenty of scary tales, though, which is why we want to give you all the necessary tools to make these transactions as smooth as possible.
The tips listed below will have you well armed for the used gadget marketplace. And though this guide is focused mostly on phones, most steps should apply to tablets, gadgets and even non-tech products. Let’s dig right into the goods!
Be detailed and honest
There are two types of buyers: those who know what they are looking for and those who are browsing to see what could convince them. Regardless of which kind of customer you happen to run across, it will always help to be as detailed as possible. Oh, and please don’t lie about your product’s condition or capabilities. Be honest! These person-to-person transactions require a lot of trust. If I ever notice a seller lies about something, as small as it may be, chances are I won’t continue dealing with him/her.
Is the smartphone very worn out? Maybe you have kept it in a case and protected by a screen cover since day one. Make sure to tell people your situation and let them know if there are any issues with the phone. Look for any scratches and tell them what you have found. Believe it or not, I find this gives you better chances, even if the phone is more damaged than usual, as people already have an expectation of the device’s condition the first time they see it. If they find scratches or cracks you failed to mention, they will just feel cheated.

I also like telling people what the phone is about. It may take a bit of work, but remember most buyers are not always tuned to sites like Android Authority, keeping up with all the latest news in tech. They may have no idea what your phone can do for them, so give them a little run-down of what you think are the coolest features. What makes this phone stand out?
Furthermore, I find it cool when sellers actually bother to list the general phone specs. In a way, you have to think of it like making a mini review. Hey, you could probably even look up our own review of whatever handset you have and link them to it!

By the way, people also like knowing why you are selling your smartphone. Are you upgrading? Are you looking for something newer? Don’t like it anymore? Is it an issue related to the handset? Just let them know!
Time is money!
And we mean that in every sense of the word. Remember smartphones age amazingly fast these days. Most flagship smartphones are considered old in just a few months, so be quick about your sale. Don’t just purchase a new phone and think: “well, I can just put the other one up for sale later”. Put that baby online right away! The longer you wait, the further your phone’s value will swirl down the drain.
Also, try to sell it before the newer generation version of your smartphone is released. People love hearing that the phone they are buying is the “latest flagship” from the company. I have a special trick you can use. I keep an older smartphone around at all times, which I use in between other handsets I buy and sell.
When announcements or strong rumors of a phone I want start showing up, I go ahead and sell my older device, only to stick with my replacement phone for a while. This ensures my older phone will sell faster, easier and at a better price. Then I just wait until the newer phone is actually released and upgrade to it.
Where to sell
You know the fundamentals of internet selling etiquette, so it’s time you go ahead and put that phone online for the world to see. Now you need to figure out which platform you want to sell your beloved smartphone through. Here are our favorites!
Gazelle
Gazelle is likely the safest route for selling your used smartphones, but they will also offer the lowest rates. You can get significantly more selling the phone yourself. The thing about Gazelle is that it’s guaranteed money with no risk. You just tell them about your phone, get an offer, ship it to them and wait for the magic to happen. If all goes well, you will get your payment in the for of a check, Amazon gift card or PayPal. Simple, right?

Go to your carrier!
Very often your own carrier will offer trade-in value for your old handsets. Like Gazelle, though, these are not always the best deal. They are mostly for people who value their time and efforts more than money, but still want to get something for those older devices.
Swappa
I will tell you right now that Swappa is hands-down my favorite place to sell smartphones. Guess what? You can usually get more money for your technology when using this website! Why? Because Swappa is a proven method for phone trading. These guys will verify every single listing and make sure there’s nothing fishy going on. If the buyer reports anything suspicious, the money will be returned straight to his PayPal account.
People will definitely pay more money for that peace of mind. I know I would! But don’t be too trusting of everyone, regardless of how secure a site is. Our very own Andrew Grush once had to deal with Swappa and Paypal for months to get a refund for a phone that was never delivered to him. In short: Swappa has your back, but resolving issues will take time.

eBay
Is Swappa not working for you? eBay is where you go next. For starters, eBay has one of the largest audiences in the world. Your chances of selling anything are multiplied just by using this site, which is known by the vast majority of connected users.
It also helps that eBay happens to have your back, as well. PayPal and eBay will help you get your money back, shall anything go wrong, so people tend to trust it. The one downside is competition. You would literally be competing with the whole world, so chances of you having to sell your phone for less are higher. The benefit is that more people will see it and that phone will likely be sold faster.
Craigslist
While a bit more dangerous and wild, Craigslist is one of the most popular selling and trading networks around. It is almost all over the world and promotes local deals. And because everything is done in person, it is easy to check for yourself that everything is ok.
Just make sure there is nothing shady going on and that the buyer seems legitimate. You know… don’t listen to the “King of Ethiopia” and people trying to have you ship the phone to far away lands. Those scammers are trying to rip you off!
Otherwise, it’s a great place to find people who can buy your phone! Some say there is nothing like a face-to-face deal, and Craigslist is all about that. Not to mention the fact that it’s insanely popular.
Sell your phone on Craigslist!

Social networks, word of mouth, etc.
You would be surprised to see how many of your friends are probably looking to get a phone just like the one you are selling. I always write a Facebook post or tell friends and family about the gadget I am trying to get rid of, just in case they may find value in it. I usually sell it for cheaper to them, just because they get that special discount, but at least I know I am dealing with someone I trust. Any social network works, by the way. I have used Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
Meeting in person? It’s dangerous out there!
I have always said it – Craigslist and other similar selling points are like the wild west of the internet. You better walk in with your hand on your gun holster, because it’s a dog-eat-dog situation in there! You don’t know what kind of buyers you may encounter, so here are some things to watch out for.
For starters, I will never, ever invite someone to come to my house… unless I am selling something that is obviously too big for me to carry around. I always meet them at a very public location like a restaurant or cafe. Better yet, sometimes I ask them to meet me at the carrier store. This will give both the buyer and seller peace of mind. While there, they can check the ESN and see if the phone has been blacklisted. Plus, shady people won’t go to such an official place to try and play some dirty games, right? It makes both parties more comfortable.

Remember to let the customer ask all the questions he/she wants. They are buying a product that is worth hundreds of dollars! Of course they want to know everything about it. Just be there for any questions or concerns they may have. Try to be friendly and leave them some kind of contact number “just in case any issue comes up”. Sometimes I tell people I will help them claim the warranty and that kind of stuff, if they ever need it. By the way, I have never had to do it, but making yourself available helps people feel more secure about that purchase.
How much do you want for your phone?
This is one of the most important steps in the process of selling your phone. How much is that thing even worth? There’s a plethora of factors that come into play, and sadly there is no direct answer to this question. A lot of it is supply and demand, really! Swappa and eBay will usually recommend a reasonable price, which is very helpful, but that is not the case with other platforms like Craigslist.
My first step when trying to figure out a fair price is checking how much the phone would cost new. I usually check out the carrier, Amazon and other popular retailers that carry the same exact version. After that, proceed to seeing how much it usually goes for used. You can check Craigslist, eBay and other sites. You can then compare your phone to others and factor in your device’s current state.
Oh, and try to come up with a price you won’t accept less than. Remember, you are likely to find people who will try to bring the price down. In fact, I encounter these buyers almost every single time. Stick to your guns and don’t give in after a certain point. You don’t want to be ripped off, either. Do go a bit lower in price if you feel the customer deserves that, though.
Wrapping up
Just take your time, watch out for shady people, stay honest and always think about the well-being of both your customer and yourself. If you keep these things in mind, we can almost guarantee you’ll end up having a positive experience. But there is a small chance things will still go wrong, even with all these precautions. It’s the risk of selling your used gadgets!
If you would rather go the safer route, you can always trade in your phone to a carrier or go with something like Gazelle. What is your favorite way to get some cash for your older devices? Do you go the simpler way or hustle a bit to get more cash?
Regardless, we hope this will help you have a more pleasant smartphone selling experience, and please hit the comments with all your thoughts! Do you have any other tips for your fellow techies?

Sony’s X900C 4K television isn’t perfect, but it makes a good case for Android TV
We’re already living in the future. Virtually every appliance in the modern home has become smarter thanks to ubiquitous internet connectivity, and the same goes for televisions as well. What used to simply be a monitor has quickly morphed into an all-in-one entertainment system. Heck, even having direct access to your entire online content collection and streaming services without so much as a set-top box is becoming standard fare. But does a TV that’s as smart as my cellphone really make for a better viewing experience? To find out, I spent a month consuming my content on the Sony X900C, a ridiculously thin $2,400 (MSRP) flat panel 4K LCD TV, and one of the first powered by the Android TV operating system.
LG’s smart TVs will stream Google Play movies this month
Who said that TVs with Google Play Movies & TV had to be running Android? Certainly not LG. It just announced that many of its recent smart TVs (including both webOS– and NetCast-based models) will offer Google Play streaming this month. While it’s not as if you’ve been hurting for viewing options on any of these sets, this could be extremely useful if you prefer to buy or rent movies and want to sync your viewing between your smartphone and a big screen. TV shows will only be available on launch in Australia, Canada, the UK and the US, but you’ll find movies in a whopping 104 countries.

Google can now search inside Facebook’s mobile app
Google may be known as the ultimate search engine, but it’s possible that all could change in the future. The rise of mobile apps has made it very difficult for Google to index content within apps. The only way to search inside an app is to get permission from the developer.
Obviously, going to the biggest apps and making a deal to crawl them is the best way to start. That is exactly what Google is doing, and their first stop was Facebook. Facebook is the world’s largest social network and Google will now be able to crawl and index some results within their mobile app.
A Facebook spokeswoman wrote in an emailed statement:
“When people search for public Facebook content on the mobile web, those who use Facebook for Android can now click through and go straight to the Facebook app,”
With this new agreement, Google can display some content from Facebook like public profile information. It will also have access to business listings called Pages, Groups and Events. These new search results, called “deep links”, will take users to relevant parts of the Facebook app when clicked.

The power of Chrome in your pocket with the ASUS Chromebit, available soon
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
The power of Chrome is headed to a pocket near you. ASUS and Google are finally bringing users the power of Chrome to a HDMI PC stick that will fit in your pocket for the affordable price of $85. The ASUS Chromebit is everything you think it might be, and possibly somethings you wish it wasn’t. It brings the same user experience you would gain on any Chromebook, and makes it a bit more portable. All you need is access to a power plug and monitor or TV with a HDMI port.
The Chromebit isn’t a monster gaming stick, but should be able to handle most daily browsing, social media, Google Doc and Chrome experience things. It is powered by a Rockchip ARM RK3288-C processor with 2GB of RAM and sports 16GB of internal storage. Much like a lot of Chromebooks. The web access is handled by 802.11 ac Wi-Fi connections while your keyboard and mouse can be paired up with Bluetooth 4.0. It also offers up a USB port that could be used for more traditional keyboards and mice or other compatible devices.
If you end up picking one up you get the ASUS Chromebit, a 1-foot HDMI cable and the power block to make it all work in the box. For $85 it might worth giving it a run. It will be available through Amazon, Fry’s and Newegg to start off in the U.S., but isn’t appearing just yet in searches on any of them. Other parts of the globe, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan and the U.K. will all be seeing the Chromebit in due time.

Tasker has been pulled from the Play Store

Popular automation app Tasker disappeared from the Google Play Store this morning and looks to be the latest victim of Google’s sometimes heavy handed policing of its app store. We’re big fans of Tasker’s huge range of possibilities, so seeing the app disappear without warning is a little concerning.
According to the developer, the app has been removed for violating the Developer Programme Policy regarding Dangerous Products, probably for system interference. More specifically, the issue appears related to Doze and App Standby features, which should be used instead of a blanket permission to ignore battery optimizations. Apparently, use of android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS is only allowed for chat and voice apps. This has been used by Google as an excuse to remove other apps from the store in the past as well.
“Google have removed it, as far as I can see mistakenly since they are complaining about something being in the manifest which is simply not there. In a couple of days, after I’ve got a few thousand complaint emails, they may have gotten round to reading the appeal.” – Pent
While perhaps we could understand Google looking out for user battery life, apparently no version of the Tasker app using the forbidden permission has actually found its way onto the Play Store. A separate beta available for download from the Tasker website contains this function, which seems to have rubbed Google up the wrong way and resulted in a pre-emptive strike.
This isn’t the first time that popular apps have been removed from the Play Store with seemingly very little warning beforehand, and we have to wonder why Google has decided to suddenly shut-down a full app just for a feature included in a beta hosted outside of its store.
If you still want to download the app, you can do so through the Tasker website. Hopefully the issue can be resolved and the app will be reinstated to the Play Store very soon.
Apple now has 95% of the smartphone industry’s profits
Earlier this year, a report by The Wall Street Journal caused a minor uproar among many fans in Android land when it reported that, as of Q1 2015, Apple was raking in 92% of the smartphone industry’s profits, with Samsung earning 15%. The numbers exceed the standard 100% due to these two companies making profits at the expense of other companies such as LG or BlackBerry. While some might still be reeling in reaction, the profit picture about to be painted is likely to push them over the edge: according to a new study by Canaccord Genuity, as of Q3 2015, Apple is now making 95% of the profits.

The above chart essentially says everything. After the iPhone 5 released in 2012, it would appear the company’s sales started to slide, however things began to pick up early in 2013 and then have continued to climb to ever higher heights since then. Samsung’s profit data, on the other hand, is an almost mirror image of Apple’s, with 2013 serving as the highest point in the recent past, and dropping sharply thereafter.
Of all the other companies listed, BlackBerry has fallen the farthest, however things may start to change now that the Priv has released. Lenovo/Motorola and Sony have almost no growth whatsoever. LG and HTC have also fallen over time.

About Apple
Like it or not, Apple can command such a profound profit despite only accounting for around 15% of global smartphone sales. This is due in no small part thanks to the pricing of the iPhone, which as Phone Arena points out, “the price of the average iPhone going up from $620 back in 2014 to $670 during Q3 2015, and this at a 37 percent operating margin. Apple doesn’t need to win the volume game in order to dominate the profit charts.”
The study found that Samsung now has an average sale price of $180 per handset, which means that despite the success of devices like the Galaxy S6 or Galaxy Note in some countries, the world-at-large clearly isn’t purchasing such expensive handsets. Part of this can also be attributed to the Innovator’s Dilemma, a subject matter that came up in recent weeks due to one analyst’s decree that Samsung will exit the smartphone business within the next 5 years.

To boil the idea down into a simple situation, now that there are so many OEMs making Android phones, and due to all of them using Android, customers will no longer be inclined to pay top dollar for a device that has the same features or functions as a cheaper one. Even adding in extra bells and whistles typically will have no effect on the average customer, who is looking for the best deal possible rather than having a burning compassion to purchase the absolutely tip-of-the-top.
This is also why Apple can still command such a high price tag for its products: no one else can make iOS devices, thus if you want in you need to pony up the pennies. As the iOS/iPhone brand can not be “eroded” by the presence of competition, those who want an iPhone are thus forced to either buy one, or else “settle” for an Android alternative, something that some people absolutely refuse to consider. Likewise the fact that Apple itself doesn’t make a “cheap” iPhone ensures that even within its own customer base, the profit picture will always be paramount.
What will happen?

Each year, there are “doomsday” predictions that Apple will finally bite off more than it can chew; that its latest product portfolio will fail to attract. The iPhone 6S for example, was criticized by some for making 3D Touch a major selling point despite criticism that it’s not simplistic or intrinsic. Still, the company has broken all iPhone sales records once again.
What is not usually highlighted is the fact that Apple is also releasing its devices in new territories each year, which means more sales opportunities. It would be quite interesting to see what the profit picture might look like if the company was consistently releasing its hardware only in the same markets year-after-year. While growth is growth, the current situation is a bit tantamount to a fish swimming in a bowl one year, a pond the next year, and the ocean the year after that: as the magnitude itself increases so too does the potential for new things to happen.
The Size Problem

Perhaps the one big “problem” Apple may face with respect to its iPhone is the size itself: there are, and will continue to be, customers who simply refuse to go beyond the 4-inch form factor that was last seen on the iPhone 5S and 5C. Even on a personal level, I know dozens of avid Apple supporters who are still sporting their own 5S due to the “unwieldy” size of even the standard 6. Many don’t want to purchase another 5S if theirs breaks due to outdated hardware, but feel abandoned as Cupertino has “forgotten” about them.
It is with this contention that rumors of an iPhone 6C coming in Spring 2016 seem more plausible. Apple itself must be aware of the segment of its customer base resisting change, and at the risk of losing them entirely, could easily put out an appeasal product. The 6C need not be the creme-de-la-creme, but so long as it has updated hardware components beyond the 5C and perhaps a new design (even if it’s plastic) it will appeal to them.
7th Heaven may be (somewhat) less likely
2016 will also bring with it the probable production of an iPhone 7, and with it a brand new design. This of course, will restart the entire “buy it again” purchase cycle and thus, provided nothing major changes in consumer spending habits, next year will see even greater sales. Perhaps. While there will always be a dedicated collective of customers who purchase Apple no matter what, looking at the general public, next year could – in theory – be the first to break the recent growth trend.
Can the iPhone 7 have anything as “revolutionary” as Force Touch/3D Touch?
Even with an all new design, the iPhone 7 is less likely to have “revolutionary” features though the company will certainly seek to market something. Consider that, for many, the iPhone 6 represents the epitome of the product they always wanted. It’s bigger and better than those iPhones that came before it, and in theory it’s enough. The iPhone 6S gets a major market simply because all those on two year contracts are upgrading. Likewise, some customers specifically wait for the “S” models to change as they typically have more dramatic differences than the “non-S” iPhones which are mainly used to show off a new design.
Even if the rumors are true and Apple puts an AMOLED screen into the iPhone 7, the tangible benefits may be less noticeable for content consumers. Sure the colors might be richer and the blacks inkier, but faced with the prospect of spending on an all new phone when their current one is more-than-suitable, who is to say how many will open their wallets.
What does all this mean for Android

For Android OEMs, the profit picture is seemingly getting bleaker by the minute. Whereas last year saw a few “shockers” like the OnePlus One – top tier specs in affordable clothing – this year has seen even the budget phones go big. The Moto G (3rd Edition) for example, has some very impressive features and specs for some very modest money. The result is that a new product such as the HTC A9, with a $500 price tag, is perceived by many as absurdly overpriced, especially given its specs.
Android makers such as Samsung have already demonstrated that they understand the problem at hand and are in need of major changes. But it’s obviously not easy. Companies like Huawei and Xiaomi are growing in no small part due to their sales strategies focusing on online retail instead of big box outlets. That Huawei was chosen to produce the Nexus 6P was a major endorsement by Google. OnePlus gets an endless supply of free PR with its invitation system, and thus need not spend money when it has the tech press pouncing on any possible potential for another window to purchase.
OEMs will continue to focus on the mid-to-low end market to account for sales in developing countries, but it may be more difficult to reduce money for marketing. At the very least, a lack of visibility on TV commercials or online ads might be seen as a sign of weakness, or else it might literally mean that some customers forget about the company when it comes time to make the next major purchase.
What this means for Consumers
Perhaps the real key here, is that unlike with Apple, in Android land the consumer is the real winner. Phones have become more affordable than ever, and this has allowed millions around the world to enjoy good products at prices that meet their own individual needs. Customers in developing countries don’t have to settle for outdated specs from years ago simply because they don’t necessarily have the disposable income to afford a Galaxy S.
It ultimately becomes the company’s responsibility to find new ways to make a profit, and that goes back to the very nature of business itself: remain competitive and constantly invent or innovate to stay alive. It should be clarified that, while larger more financially sound corporations may be able to do this through much research, development, investment, and resilience, many smaller companies can not. To this end, the effect can be disastrous and that ultimately has a profound effect on the employees’ livelihood as well.

At the same time, Apple becomes less and less relevant in the lives of many around the globe simply because they can’t afford the products or else don’t want to pay such prices. While one might argue this doesn’t really matter given the company doesn’t cater to the “have nots” anyway, it also means that Apple is under less direct pressure to invent something new, save for the heat from shareholders. And let’s not forget that companies like Samsung and LG have far more on their plate than just smartphones, and companies like Huawei are eager to expand into new markets.
Wrap Up
Android fans may be disappointed by this the data reported in this piece, however it’s important to keep in mind that it has little bearing on your own ability to enjoy and love Android. Google’s mobile OS is only getting stronger, and will continue to do so in the future. Likewise, while companies are currently facing a tough time when it comes to make money from mobile, there is (hopefully) light at the end of the tunnel, be it a new product category or else some other change entirely. There is so much in tech these days, the sky’s the limit.
