This week in Android - Shelter in place with new movies - Android

Google I/O 2020 is cancelled! We know, we said this a couple weeks ago, however, at that time, Google was still going to host I/O virtually. Due to “shelter in place” advisories, things have been entirely cancelled. Stay tuned to the site, we’ll bring you all the announcements that Google will likely still trickle out over the coming months, including more Android 11 builds, and hopefully a line of new Pixel smartphones.

Speaking of Pixel phones, how about these leaks and rumors for the Google Pixel 5? You like that?

We’re all confined to our own homes these days, but that doesn’t mean we have to be lonely, or bored. If TV shows and movies are your desire, we’ve got a list of the best ways to watch Netflix with friends. Speaking of the COVID-19 lock-down, some of the studios are skipping the theater, releasing new movies direct to home. Here are 10 movies released early for streaming, so you can stay home.
