Like many of its predecessors, Sony’s new Xperia Z4, which was quietly launched in Japan on Monday, is somewhat disappointing. But a rumored Xperia Z3+ that’s expected to appear in late May could be the real upgrade Sony fans were hoping for.

Just one week after OnePlus released the One’s Cyanogen OS 12 update, the Chinese startup has halted its rollout. But it’s for a good reason: the “Ok OnePlus” voice activation feature that was promised almost a year ago is finally ready for release.

Samsung has baked a long list of hidden features into its latest version of TouchWiz that aren’t available by default on the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge — such as call recording, Wi-Fi calling, the ability to schedule text messages, and support for VoLTE.

But if you’ve already rooted your handset, you can enable them manually.
