We all knew the OnePlus One was going to be cheap — for a flagship phone, at least. But I don’t think any of us anticipated it would start at as little as $299 off-contract when competing devices — such as the Galaxy S5 and the HTC One M8 — cost around $600. So, how has OnePlus made its debut smartphone such a bargain?

It hasn’t skimped on build quality or specifications, that’s for sure. What it has done is pass up the opportunity to make any kind of profit. The Chinese startup won’t make a penny when you buy its first device because they’re all sold at cost.

The wait for the HTC One mini 2 is over. The downsized version of HTC’s latest flagship got its official unveiling today, and as expected, it is just as beautiful as its big brother. Like its predecessor, however, it packs midrange specifications in an effort to be more affordable — but there are some treats under the hood.

Today’s selection for our weekly Wednesday’s Must Have Game column is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which originally launched for the PlayStation 2 back in October, 2004, and was digitally remastered and uploaded to the Google Play Store for use on Android-powered smartphones and tablets in December, 2013.

Time to upgrade your smartphone? You may want to hold onto your cash. At the end of the month, LG will unveil its new G3, and according to these leaked press shots, it’s going to be an absolute stunner. In fact, I’d even go as far as to say that its almost bezel-less design could give the HTC One M8 a run for its money.

Samsung has apologized and promised compensation to workers who contracted leukemia and other “difficult-to-treat” diseases while working in its manufacturing facilities. The move comes after a pressure group revealed at least 26 workers in two plants had been diagnosed with blood cancer, 10 of whom have died.
