Google has released its Android 6.0 Marshmallow factory image for the new Nexus 5X, just one day after the handset made its debut in 7 markets around the world. The software is compatible with the MDAA89E, MDA89F, and MDB08I model numbers.

Sony is hard at work on new Marshmallow software that will bring an improved user experience to its many Xperia smartphones and tablets. You can apply to test the concept software early right now on your Xperia Z3 or Xperia Z3 Compact — but you’ll have to act fast.

Get ready, HTC fans — the new One A9 smartphone is just hours away from its official unveiling in New York City.

HTC is live-streaming the whole thing from the Barclays Center with special guests like Jay Z, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne — and you can watch it all right here from 12 p.m. EST.

Have you heard of Project Fi? It’s Google’s dirt cheap cell phone network that gives you dirt cheap coverage, and even refunds you money on data you don’t use.

It’s a good deal, but if you want in on Project Fi, you’ve traditionally needed an invite. Luckily, though, for the next 24 hours, you can get into Project Fi, no questions asked. Why? Because Google just shipped the Nexus 5X.
