Google Stadia is coming to 18 additional Android smartphones
Including 14 Samsung Galaxy devices
In context: Stadia isn't the end-all, be-all game streaming platform Google hoped it would be, but, like most tech products these days, a rough start does not necessarily mean the entire platform is doomed. Stadia continues to improve slowly and is set to get many new features and dozens of new games (including a few exclusives) this year. Before that happens, though, Google is focusing on enlarging the platform's userbase.
New reports claim Google will be bringing Stadia to a wide array of new smartphones on February 20, instead of keeping the platform exclusive to its Pixel device family. That's a smart decision, and probably one Google should have made upon launch. Stadia has a variety of issues, but limited mobile availability is one of the bigger ones -- if people can't even access the platform on a device of their choice, they're much less likely to buy in.

One might think that Google's position in the Android market would give
