OnePlus One owner “MiYzu”  has suffered minor skin burns after his device exploded in his pocket while he was walking through a subway. OnePlus has agreed to send out a replacement handset, while the original will be collected and examined in an effort to establish what caused this incident.

LG has officially announced the G3 Stylus ahead of IFA 2014. The new phablet is here to take on Samsung’s successful Galaxy Note series, and it looks almost identical to the flagship G3 — but it’s nowhere near as exciting internally. Those hoping for stellar specs might want to look away now.

Sony has all but confirmed that its midrange Xperia T, Xperia TX, and Xperia V handsets will not be receiving an Android 4.4 KitKat upgrade. All three devices will remain on the latest version of Jelly Bean… at least officially.

Google’s upcoming Nexus 9 tablet, made by HTC, could launch earlier than expected, according to one reliable tipster — which means Android L could make its public debut early, too. Recent reports have promised an unveiling during the second week of October, but we may not have to wait that long.

Swing Copters, the new (and immensely difficult) mobile game from Flappy Bird creator .GEARS Studios, is now top in Play Store search rankings after Google cleared out a surprisingly long list of clones. Literally hundreds of them littered the Play Store on Thursday, making the original hard to find without a direct link.
