After upgrading its flagship Galaxy S5 to Lollipop, Samsung is hard at work on bringing Google’s latest software update to the Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy Note Edge. Android 5.0.1 builds for both devices have already leaked out into the wild, suggesting a public rollout could be right around the corner.

OnePlus promised us an announcement for December 17, and just as we had predicted, it was for an official OnePlus Power Bank. Packing 10,000mAh of power and two USB outputs, this pocket-sized device has enough juice to charge your One — and other mobile devices — up to three times before it needs recharging. And it’s super affordable, too.

Instagram is today rolling out new updates on Android and iOS that bring an updated design, new features, and five new filters that Instagram says are its best yet. Inspired by the global community, the new filter set is the first Instagram has added in two years, and it’s designed to compliment the capabilities of modern smartphone cameras.

But before you get too excited, we’re almost certain this won’t be a new smartphone for several reasons.
