Its fragile glass display is usually the first thing that breaks when you drop your smartphone, and getting it repaired can prove pretty costly. But some manufacturers will give you your first screen replacement absolutely free — such as HTC.

Google is giving those in Europe and Australia the chance to save when they buy a Nexus 5 and an LG G Watch. From now until September 16, the search giant will slash £60/€80/AUS$100 off your purchase when you buy both devices together through Google Play.
Google is slowly rolling out 1080p streaming within the official YouTube app for all Android devices that support it, but it seems the change is happening pretty slowly. If you’re one of the many still waiting for it and you have a rooted device, you can now enable 1080p streaming yourself with this super simple trick.
It looks like Google is all set to take accessories and customization to the next level with a new tool called Google Workshop. According to the reliable sources of Android Police, Google Workshop will allow users to create custom cases and live wallpapers for their devices.
LG has already confirmed that it has not been asked to produce a new Nexus smartphone for Google — and that’s because the search giant has teamed up with Motorola instead, according to a new report. Despite selling Motorola to Lenovo last year, Google has reportedly asked the Moto X maker to build a Nexus 6 “phablet” with a much larger display.
