This week in Android: Google Stadia revealed, iOS and Android grow closer

This week we finally got concrete details about Google’s upcoming game streaming service, Google Stadia. This includes a list of games that will be available when it launches in November, as well as internet requirements for 4K and 1080p streaming. Beyond the livestream, more details could be found tucked away on the official website.

Apple’s annual WWDC conference took place this week, unveiling new hardware and software. A big part of the event was dedicated to iOS 13, which is more similar to Android than ever. It even has a few features we hope make it to Android in the future.

As for reviews, this week we published our OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Edition review, with a HUAWEI P30 Pro-style 10x zoom lens. However, HUAWEI isn’t resting on its laurels and pushed out an update to the HUAWEI P30 Pro camera that made the current camera king even better.
