This week in Android - Watch the Super Bowl for free. History of Galaxy S phones - Android

This week we explored the history of Samsung’s Galaxy S phones, from the S to the S20, do you know which one is the best selling Android phone of all time?

As we explored a list of brave OS developers that tried and failed to overtake Android, we pondered if Huawei should give it a try. Operating systems like Blackberry 10, and Windows 10 Mobile gave it a good go, but they chose to take on Android, Huawei is all but forced to compete in order to stay alive in the Western markets right now.

This weekend is Super Bowl LIV. You’re probably reading this trying to figure out where to watch it right now. Good news, we’ve got you covered with a list of places to watch the Super Bowl for free, legally, and in 4K.
