The default camera app that’s baked into the OnePlus One’s CyanogenMod 11S software doesn’t do its 13-megapixel sensor much justice, so many use a third-party alternative. Now there’s another that could better than anything you’ll find in Google Play.

It’s the default camera app from ColorOS, and it brings features like 4K video recording, the ability to capture 50-megapixel photos, and support for the RAW image format.

Android 5.0 Lollipop is edging closer to release for Verizon subscribers with an HTC One M8, but it’s still going to be a few weeks before it begins its rollout. HTC has confirmed that the software is “in the lab” and it expects it to be ready in early March.

Many of Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones support wireless charging, but only if you are prepared to buy an optional wireless charging back panel. But the South Korean company has vowed to accelerate the technology’s growth in 2015 with greater support in its new Galaxy smartphones.

In a new blog post, Samsung hints at the possibility of support for multiple wireless charging technologies inside the upcoming Galaxy S6.

VLC just lost its beta tag on Android, almost three years after making its Google Play debut, and it’s about to get a whole lot more useful. With an upcoming release, the popular media player will get the ability to stream all of your videos straight to your TV via a Chromecast.

HTC’s next-generation One M9 might be right around the corner, but the Taiwanese company hasn’t quite finished making the most of the One M8 brand just yet. A midrange version of last year’s flagship is still in its pipeline, sources say, and it’ll be exactly the same size as the original.
