Stagefright fixes are incoming!

It may have taken them a little while, but manufacturers have begun rolling out important fixes for the Stagefright vulnerability that allows hackers to take over million of smartphones with a single text message.

In addition to Google’s own Nexus handsets, updates are also being issued to a number of Samsung’s latest Galaxies, and will be coming soon to the Idol 3 from Alcatel Onetouch.

Samsung has promised to rollout monthly security patches for its Android-powered Galaxy devices in an effort to eliminate flaws and vulnerabilities faster than ever before.

Its announcement comes after researchers discovered a new “Stagefright” exploit that allows hackers to take over billions of smartphones with a single text message.

Sony’s next-generation Xperia flagships will offer lateral power buttons that double as fingerprint scanners — if this hazy new leaked image of the Xperia Z5 and Z5 Compact proves to be authentic.

OnePlus fans living in China are lucky; unlike the rest of the world, they got the opportunity to buy the new OnePlus 2 without an invite this week, and boy, did they take advantage of that.

In just 64 seconds, the initial batch of 30,000 OnePlus 2 handsets were sold out.
