Swiss Army knife maker Victorinox is gearing up to launch its first smart wearable built with the help of Acer. The device will work alongside existing watches from the company’s I.N.O.X. collection, and we’ll get our first glimpse at it at Mobile World Congress.
Sony has confirmed that it will bring Android 6.0 Marshmallow to its latest Xperia Z5 series handsets next month. Its rollout will begin on March 7, and customers in the U.K. will be the first to see it.
The Xperia Z4 Tablet and Xperia Z3+ are also on the company’s update list for March.
Samsung’s new Marshmallow upgrade includes a number of new features that aren’t immediately obvious after upgrading, so the company has highlighted them on its website.
They include a new web browser with fingerprint web login and improvements for Gear VR, “Cross App” split-screen mode for selected apps, and more.
