Stagefright fixes are incoming!

It may have taken them a little while, but manufacturers have begun rolling out important fixes for the Stagefright vulnerability that allows hackers to take over million of smartphones with a single text message.

In addition to Google’s own Nexus handsets, updates are also being issued to a number of Samsung’s latest Galaxies, and will be coming soon to the Idol 3 from Alcatel Onetouch.

Samsung has promised to rollout monthly security patches for its Android-powered Galaxy devices in an effort to eliminate flaws and vulnerabilities faster than ever before.

Its announcement comes after researchers discovered a new “Stagefright” exploit that allows hackers to take over billions of smartphones with a single text message.

OnePlus fans living in China are lucky; unlike the rest of the world, they got the opportunity to buy the new OnePlus 2 without an invite this week, and boy, did they take advantage of that.

In just 64 seconds, the initial batch of 30,000 OnePlus 2 handsets were sold out.

A removable battery and microSD card slot are two things we’ve long associated with Samsung devices, but since the South Korean company killed them both for the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, long-time Galaxy Note fans have been worried they’re in for the same treatment.

Now new images of the Galaxy Note 5 confirm those fears.

Motorola’s new Moto G isn’t a high-end powerhouse, but it definitely has some good attributes, like a decent camera, and a water-resistant design that’s customizable through Moto Maker. It’s also ideal for finding singles in the desert — at least according to Motorola’s new ad.
