WhatsApp voice calling finally arrives.

WhatsApp voice calling finally arrives.

WhatsApp’s long-awaited voice calling feature is finally rolling out on Android, but getting your hands on it could be tricky. Not only will you need the latest version of the WhatsApp app, but you’ll also need a friend who already has access to the feature.

Over the past few years, Samsung has been following up its flagship devices with Active variants that are tougher and more robust than the originals, and sources say that the South Korean company plans to do the same for the Galaxy S6.

While Cyanogen and OnePlus have both confirmed a CyanogenMod 12 update for the One is on its way, it has been hit by a series of delays — and it looks like there will be yet another before users finally get their hands on Android 5.0.1.

Cyanogen this week confirmed the software is in its final testing stage, but it won’t be ready for its rollout for another “few weeks.”

When Google launched its new online store just for devices on Wednesday, the Nexus 5 was dropped from its lineup. Now the search giant has confirmed that the handset has been discontinued, 17 months after it made its initial debut, and that its partners will sell remaining stock.

Google today announced its new Chromebook Pixel, which is just as pretty as its predecessor, only more powerful and less expensive. It’s powered by an Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM, and just like Apple’s new MacBook, it uses do-it-all USB-C connectors.
