Samsung has promised to deliver an over-the-air security update in the coming days to patch a serious flaw with the SwiftKey keyboard baked into its Android-powered Galaxy devices.

Its announcement comes just one day after a security researcher exposed the vulnerability, which affects around 600 million Samsung handsets — including its new Galaxy S6 and S6 edge.

The OnePlus 2’s specifications appear to have been leaked by a smartphone retailer ahead of the handset’s rumored unveiling next month. In addition to a faster processor, the listing promises improvements to the handset’s camera, and a bigger battery.

However, the details aren’t quite as exciting as we’ve been expecting.

The device is expected to make its debut “later this year,” and Huawei is hoping it will help improve its reputation and familiarize consumers with its brand in the West.
