The new OnePlus 2 is the first Android-powered smartphone to adopt USB-C technology, which means all those micro-USB cables you have stuffed in a drawer somewhere aren’t going to work with it.

You’ll get a USB-C cable with your OnePlus 2, of course, and OnePlus says you’ll be able to buy more separately for “about $5.”

LG shipped an impressive 8.1 million LTE smartphones worldwide last quarter — its best result so far — but the company made just 1.2 cents in profit on each one. That’s approximately 0.012 percent of the profit Apple makes on every 16GB iPhone 6 it sells.
