OnePlus launched its ‘Photo-Mania’ contest just two weeks ago and distributed a ‘camera test unit’ to each of the three lucky competition winners. In terms of design, these units were not the final version of the company’s upcoming flagship smartphone, but were instead customized in a way that only the camera could be used and the rest of the body was completely covered.

Earlier today, one of the winners, who possibly studies at the Renmin University of China, uploaded five photographs that were supposedly taken on a customized OnePlus One camera unit to a Chinese social networking website. The short paragraph of text that accompanied these images stated that Kang Yikun has been in possession of the unit for the past three days and that ‘these snaps are just some of the best photographs that she has taken throughout her time with it’.

The HTC One M8’s gorgeous aluminum unibody is one of “the top five reasons” why it is better than the Samsung Galaxy S5, according to leaked HTC training material that’s reportedly being distributed to sales representatives in the United States.

The document also refers to the M8’s incredible BoomSound speakers, its nifty touch gestures that are supposed to make it better for one-handed use, and its new Duo Camera.

Google has announced that Android will soon run continual security checks on your devices to keep them free from malware and other malicious code. The popular platform already has a “Verify Apps” feature that scans APK files and ensures they are safe before they’re installed, but with continual checks, Android becomes even safer. 

Jesse Carter, the Android developer who scammed tens of thousands of users with a fake antivirus app, has admitted he made a “foolish mistake.”

Using the name Deviant Solutions, Carter released the Virus Shield app that promised to protect smartphones and tablets from dangerous files. It was priced at $3.99 and quickly rocketed to the top of the Google Play Store’s paid chart after attracting over 30,000 downloads.

The only problem was, Virus Shield didn’t actually do anything.

If you’re a music lover, the BoomSound speakers featured in the new HTC One M8 are just one of the reasons why you should consider this device over its rivals when upgrading this year. And for an even greater listening experiencing, you’ll probably want to get it on Sprint, which is offering an exclusive model with Harman Kardon speakers.
