When OnePlus made its next-generation OnePlus 2 official last month, Android fans couldn’t believe their eyes. Everyone knew that the phone was coming thanks to a run of leaks and rumors, and everyone knew that they should expect some pretty impressive specs at a pretty impressive price point.

But no one really expected this.

On paper, the OnePlus 2 truly is a flagship killer. The phone sports specs that match or even beat everything else on the market. And with a starting price of just $329, the new phone offers a mind-boggling value that is seemingly unmatched.

Now, it’s time to see if the OnePlus 2 really is as impressive as it appears on paper.

Last week, I penned a post that questioned why I continue to carry an Android phone with me despite the fact that my main phone is an iPhone. In the past, I carried both because Android included so much functionality that wasn’t available on iOS. As time has progressed, however, iPhones have grown more and more capable. Now, there are precious few truly useful Android features that the iPhone cannot match.

As capable as iOS is at this point, however, there are still some features available to the jailbreak community that most iPhone users will never get to enjoy.

Is Apple nearing a point where it can’t keep setting iPhone sales records? That seems to be the consensus among some analysts, who expect the iPhone 6s to sell very well, but not well enough to set a new Christmas-quarter record for Apple this year. The reasons are varied, including a perceived lack of hot new iPhone 6s features that convince people en masse to buy the new device.

The iPhone vs. Android argument is beyond boring at this point, but there is one cool feature that most flagship Android handsets have that is notably absent from Apple’s iPhone lineup: an infrared blaster. The Blumoo is a great little gadget that connects to your iPhone (or iPad, or Android phone, or Android tablet) via Bluetooth and then controls everything in your home that can be controlled by any standard universal remote. And best of all, it’s just $96.54 on Amazon, which is 26% off the device’s $129.99 retail price.

Say what you will about Google, but the company knows how to have some fun. Nerdy fun, but fun nonetheless. Once, when bidding for a slew of Nortel patents, Google put in a bid using the digits of pi, offering up $3.1415 billion.

So it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Google’s out-of-left-field announcement that it would be restructuring itself under a new parent company called Alphabet contained a cleverly placed and well-hidden easter egg.

Practically out of nowhere, Google yesterday announced that it was restructuring the entire company and renaming itself Alphabet. As part of the transformation, Google’s varying divisions will be split up into wholly owned subsidiaries under the Alphabet umbrella.

Many reports detailed a third iPhone 6s family member that would sport a 4-inch display and hardware components that would be at least on par with what the iPhone 6 has to offer, if not better. Often called the iPhone 6c, the device would provide buyers looking for smaller iPhones the same high-end experience as the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch models and the same build quality. However, not all reports agree as to when Apple will launch the handset, with a leaker saying the iPhone 6c might be launched a lot sooner than you think.

Apple’s iPhone is one of the best sold mobile devices in the world, and smartphone parts makers are eager to win orders for Apple’s next-gen devices. The iPhone 6s is no different than its predecessors in that regard. Expected to set new sales records for the company, the iPhone 6s family is going to launch in mid-September, with Apple already prepping mass-production for the device. In fact, a new report suggests that suppliers are so eager to please Apple that they’d be willing to offer special treatment to the company.
