This Week in the Life of DROID: 11/15/2014

What a week. The last seven days at Droid Life have been, without a doubt, some of our busiest in months. Our Nexus 6 review is done. So is our Galaxy Note 4 review. So is our Xperia Z3v review. We saw OTA updates of Lollipop go out to most of the Nexus devices. Even the Moto X “Pure Edition” and Moto G got the update. Apps have been updated with Material Design, Verizon is changing its ETF policy, all sorts of new devices are available through Google Play, and you will soon be able to buy Google’s new flagship phone – we think.

All of that and more happened within the last week. If you missed out on any of it, including our latest DL Show, which was highlighted by the return of Ron and Dave, now is the time to catch up. Next week won’t be any slower.
