A full list of specifications for the upcoming Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 edge Plus have leaked out ahead of Samsung’s official unveilings. Both devices are expected to carry similar displays — though one will be curved on both sides — and there will be big differences internally.

Newsflash — Windows Phone struggling to compete.

Remember that time Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer openly laughed at the iPhone? Well, it turns out the phone business isn’t so easy after all, because for the second year in a row Microsoft has announced it’s laying off large numbers of people — this time mainly involved with Windows Phone hardware.

Despite cutting a total of 7,800 jobs, however, Microsoft insists it’s not throwing in the towel on its Windows Phone division, and still plans to push forward with Windows 10 Mobile and launch new Lumia flagship devices later in 2015.

There’s no better way to show of an incredible smartphone camera than by strapping it to a drone and flying it over some beautiful locations. That’s exactly what LG has done for its latest promotional video for the G4, and it’s an absolute stunner.

OnePlus today confirmed that its upcoming OnePlus 2 will boast 4GB of the latest LPDDR4 RAM.

Alongside with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 810 processor that’s already been confirmed, the OnePlus 2 promises to deliver “faster loading times, smoother gameplay, and never-before-seen energy saving features.”

While its profits may be falling on the back of weak smartphone sales, it’s not all bad news for Samsung. The South Korean company has been named the most reputable company in the U.S. technology industry in the Reputation Institute’s latest RepTrak report.
