The Google Pixel runs stock Android software, without the bells and whistles that other smartphone makers add. There’s no such thing as a Pixel-only app; all Android apps run on Pixel hardware just as they do on hardware from other manufacturers. Still, the superior specs of Pixel devices give them a performance edge that allows even resource-hungry Android apps to run with ease.

Smartphones are great for taking notes, but many note-taking apps are rather basic and don’t keep people as organized as they’d like. Simplenote aims to change that trend.

You don’t have to manually save notes when you use Simplenote, because all the information you enter is saved automatically. The app becomes more efficient as you add more notes, because you organize your thoughts with searchable tags and pins. One of the best features of Simplenote is that it automatically syncs notes across all installed devices, including other Android devices, iOS, and Mac, Windows, and Linux computers.

Zedge is a great option for personalization in general, as it offers millions of wallpapers, ringtones, notification sounds, and alarm sounds that can be previewed before downloading. This free app allows you to customize many of these wallpapers and sound themes to your liking, by cropping them or adding stickers for a personal touch.
