Google Play Games Updated With Record & Share Feature

Calling all mobile gamers who wish to share their gaming experiences with the world, you may now do so. Thanks to an update for Google Play Games, you can now record any gameplay you do on your smartphone, then edit and share that gameplay footage directly to YouTube. Not to confuse this with YouTube Gaming, which allows you to stream gameplay to YouTube, Google Play Games is an offline option for those who wish to do a bit of editing before allowing the world to view it. 

When recording, you can choose any game on your device, then opt for either 480p or 720p (HD) recording. Then, select if you want your beautiful face and voice to be present, and start playing. Once your session is complete, you can trim, edit, and then upload directly to YouTube.

The update is now live on Google Play, so have at it.

Google USB Type-C Chargers Back in Stock on Google Play

Did you purchase a Nexus 6P or Nexus 5X? Then you should probably pick up a few USB Type-C chargers while they are available on Google Store, as you can rest assured that they will be fully compatible with both devices. 

On the product description page, it states you can charge quickly with the chargers, but since we do not have one of these in-house, we don’t know specifically if they will charge “rapidly” on the 6P or 5X, but we have to assume so. The specs do not specify voltage and amps, but they are 15W.

They are not exactly cheap, either. For a standard charger, you are looking at $25. There is also a dual-port charger for $39.99.

Get them while you can.

Cricket Adds Data Roaming to Canada and Mexico at No Extra Cost

This morning, Cricket announced that it has added data roaming to their Smart ($50) and Pro ($60) plans at no extra charge. This means that Cricket customers can use their monthly data allotment when traveling to Canada and Mexico. 

Cricket isn’t saying what types of speeds you will see in either country, but not having to pay extra for the little data you use on vacations is a nice bonus. And keep in mind that Cricket already had unlimited calling, texting, and messaging between Mexico, Canada, and the US.

Curious, but how many Cricket customers do we have? Assuming you can handle their throttled data speeds, their plan prices are kind of unbeatable.

YouTube Red Goes Live Today

YouTube Red is hitting YouTube accounts this morning, allowing those who pay the $9.99 a month, or already subscribe to Google Play Music All Access, to view all YouTube videos ad-free. In addition to ad-free video playback, subscribers will also have the ability save videos for offline video playback for when you don’t have data or WiFi connection. 

Another feature baked into Red is the ability to listen to videos while your display is off or other apps are in the foreground. This is called Background Play. According to YouTube, they are working to bring Red to additional countries, as well as other apps like YouTube Kids, YouTube Music, and YouTube Gaming in the near future. For those who wish not to use Red, don’t worry, you can still use YouTube the same way as always.

And yes, if you pay the promo price of $7.99 for Play Music from when it first launched, you also get access to YouTube Red for completely free.

For those already subscribed to Play Music, YouTube Red should automatically pop up on the YouTube homepage. Under your YouTube settings, you will see a new tab for Red, where it details your billing and status.

If you do not already have Play Music, do you intend to spend $9.99 a month to see YouTube videos with no ads, in addition to ad-free music on Play Music? If you are on the fence, YouTube is offering a free 30-day trial, but you need a credit card.

Samsung’s 18-Inch Galaxy View Tablet is Official

This morning, Samsung officially took the wraps off its Galaxy View tablet, which is the behemoth of a slate that has been talked about ad nauseam lately because of its enormous 18.4-inch display.  

The tablet, while big, doesn’t exactly scream “high-end” now that we are seeing the specs breakdown. That 18.4-inch display is just Full HD (1920×1080) and it only has 2GB RAM. Samsung is bragging about its battery life, though, that can supposedly last through 8 hours of video, thanks to the 5700mAh battery inside. The tablet has has 802.11ac WiFi, LTE, an octa-core processor, cameras, and runs Android 5.1. Samsung is also talking up the tablet’s “video-centric interface.”

We don’t yet know pricing or a date of availability.

Anyone interested?
