Get ready, HTC fans — the new One A9 smartphone is just hours away from its official unveiling in New York City.

HTC is live-streaming the whole thing from the Barclays Center with special guests like Jay Z, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne — and you can watch it all right here from 12 p.m. EST.

Samsung has received a multi-million dollar investment from the South Korean government to develop factory robots to help win manufacturing work currently being lost to cheap human labor in China.

Have you heard of Project Fi? It’s Google’s dirt cheap cell phone network that gives you dirt cheap coverage, and even refunds you money on data you don’t use.

Google has finally made its Android 6.0 Marshmallow OTAs available to download, allowing users to update their devices manually rather than wait for it to reach them over-the-air. If you’ve never flashed an OTA manually, it can be a daunting task — but it’s actually very simple.

Here are the steps you need to follow.
