HTC Droid Incredible Now Available on Verizon for $200

You waited after the rumors for it to be announced, you waited after it was announced for the first reviews, and you waited after the reviews for it to hit the streets. Scamper on down to your local Verizon store, it’s finally here. HTC’s Android-powered Incredible went on sale Thursday for $200 on Verizon with a two-year contract.

For those who missed the early buzz, HTC’s Incredible stakes its claim as potentially the best-equipped Android device out there with a 3.7-inch OLED screen, 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 8-megapixel camera, and 8GB internal memory with a microSD expansion slot. (As our own Stewart Wolpin noted in his review, battery life and call quality could both be better, though).

Google Gemini is getting a little bit smarter thanks to a small change recently discovered by 9to5Google. The AI assistant will now answer “general questions” even if your Android device is locked.

According to a Google support page, commands like “What’s the weather?” once required you to open your phone first. However, Google now lets you “get answers from Gemini without unlocking your device.”  Previously, Gemini could only control things like alarms, timers, and media while your phone was locked.

For those who live in the right place, Verizon can be one of the fastest mobile providers available. While T-Mobile ranks as the fastest U.S. carrier overall, that’s based on average and median speeds across the country.

This means there are still many locations where Verizon handily beats T-Mobile in coverage and performance, especially in dense urban areas where the carrier’s extremely fast high-band mmWave 5G service is available.

Google just rolled out its July security update for Pixel devices. While last month's Feature Drop added some cool features, like Gemini Nano on more devices, this month's update addresses a critical security vulnerability. So, if you have a Google Pixel device from the Pixel 5a and later with Android 14, make sure to update it as soon as possible.
