The upcoming OnePlus One has been upgraded ahead of its release with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 801 processor.
The handset was to launch with its predecessor, the Snapdragon 800, but it’ll now boast the same CPU that powers the Samsung Galaxy S5, the Sony Xperia Z2, and the All New HTC One.
The All New HTC One will cost $600 off-contract when it goes on sale in the United States, according to the latest information leaked on Twitter. In addition, the gold variant is expected to be a Best Buy exclusive — at least initially.
HTC has resumed its rollout of Android 4.4.2 KitKat for HTC One handsets in the U.K. three weeks after the release was pulled. Customers on Vodafone, Three, and O2 should see the update soon if they haven’t already received it.
Google’s making it easier to support local developers down under with a new “Made in Australia” collection in Google Play. The section highlights homegrown apps and games, and features titles like the wonderful Pocket Casts from ShiftyJelly, and Jetpack Joyride from Halfbrick Studios.
The ASUS Padfone X was originally launched back in January during the CES, with AT&T announcing the availability shortly after. However, the tablet is yet to see a launch despite teasers being posted by the carrier. This tablet-smartphone hybrid has now made its way to the FCC for certification, indicating that it’s one step closer from official retail availability.
