Samsung’s focus on making its smartphones as secure as can be mean there’s little chance you’ll be able to flash third-party ROMs and tweaks on many handsets in the Galaxy S7 series. That’s not the case for LG’s new G5 handset.

If you buy the device on T-Mobile, it ships with an unlockable bootloader, paving the way for all kinds of user customizations.

For most of us, April Fools’ Day is an abomination. It’s like watching your dad crack terrible jokes at a party. But unlike your dad, some tech companies have perfected the art of the April Fools’ prank and come up with some pretty spectacular ones.

The wait for Marshmallow will soon be over for BlackBerry Priv owners.

The Canadian has confirmed that it will make Android 6.0 available for its latest flagship in late April or early May. Its announcement comes after a Priv running Marshmallow was spotted in a YouTube video.

One of Google’s April Fools’ Day pranks was so unpopular with users that the company was forced to pull it just hours after it rolled out.

The Gmail stunt, which automatically inserted a “mic drop” GIF into users’ emails as they were sent, was greeted by a torrent of complaints and labeled inappropriate.
