Nexus 9 and Pixel C get Remix OS Marshmallow! Hurrah!!!!

The Pixel C has had a bit of a rough run. The device kind of landed in no-man’s land upon its launch, nestling awkwardly in the wasteland between Tablet and Chromebook. One of the reasons that many people speculated that it was such a strange device is that the original intent for the Pixel C was supposedly to run Chrome OS. Now that supposed intent can be actualized with Remix OS, which is essentially the closest you can get to Chrome OS.
That’s right. Jide’s desktop-styled skin of Android has been updated to be more in alignment with Android Marshmallow and as such it is now available for the Pixel C. If you’re interested in giving this OS a spin on your HTC Nexus 9, you can now do that too.
If you want to see how your device feels with a more desktopy feel, head on over to Remix OS’s Facebook announcement post to give it a whirl. This software is currently only available via torrents. If you need a walkthrough on how to get this running on your Nexus 9 or Pixel C, then Jide has put together a handy tutorial on how to flash Remix OS onto your device right over here.
What are your thoughts regarding the arrival of this desktop-themed version of Android arriving on the Nexus 9 and Pixel C? Will this give the Pixel C the balance that some feel it has lacked? Let us know your take in the comments below!

The Essential Phone.

Image
After a lot of rumors about the Essential Phone that is created by Andy Rubin, the father of android, the phone was launched a few days back. The most eye catchy part of this phone is the screen itself. The Essential phone tries  to keep up with the bezel-less smartphones of 2017, which has an edge to edge LCD display keeping a tiny chin at the bottom and just a small space for the selfie camera on top. The weird thing about this phone is that there is no branding on the phone. The phone feels solid in hand and following the trend the phone has a ceramic back which is glossy enough to attract a lot of finger prints. The side is covered by metal that have cut outs for the antenna bands.  The fingerprint scanner is at the back of the phone which looks cool and adds character to the phone.
