Nintendo has denied claims that its upcoming NX console will run Android.

An earlier report out of Japan, citing sources familiar with Nintendo’s plans, promised that the NX would employ Android software in an effort to attract new users and developers. But unfortunately for those excited by that prospect, it’s not going to happen.

Samsung already has a flagship phablet series in the Galaxy Note, but that won’t stop it from launching a larger version of the Galaxy S6, according to a new report.

Sources familiar with the South Korean company’s plans say a “Galaxy S6 Plus” will launch in the coming weeks, with a display measuring around 5.5 inches in size and Samsung’s impressive 16-megapixel rear-facing camera.

Details about Nintendo’s next-gen NX console won’t officially be shared by the company until 2016, but according to a new report coming out of Japan one thing we might be able to expect is for the NX hardware to run a version of Android.

The decision is said to be rooted in Nintendo’s desire to give developers increased flexibility in making content that can also be used on smartphones and tablets.

One of the best things to come out of Google’s I/O keynote on Thursday was Google Photos, a brand new service for storing, sharing, and organizing your images and videos.

It’s totally free — no matter howFriday-Night-Fights-bug-2 many items you upload — but is it better than the competition?
