If you’ve got a Galaxy S5 on Sprint, the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop update is coming your way today, Samsung has promised. The release will include everything that you would expect to see in a Lollipop upgrade, plus a few extra features specifically for Sprint devices.

Android 5.1 is already shipping on Android One devices in Indonesia, which means it’s coming soon to Google’s Nexus devices. One of its many improvements is the ability to promptly switch between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections directly from the Quick Settings menu.

Samsung’s pursuit of great design could lead to another iPhone clone if these images, purported to be the handset’s new aluminum frame, turn out to be genuine.
The South Korean company appears to have dropped the sharp, straight edges seen on the Galaxy Alpha and the Galaxy Note 4 for a smoother, more rounded design just like that of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, and it looks like the removable back panel is gone, too.

The OnePlus One was undoubtedly one of the biggest smartphones of 2014. While it may not have sold anywhere near as many units as the Galaxy S5 or the iPhone 6, it still generated more hype and excitement than many of its rivals — thanks mostly to its excellent specifications and tiny price tag.
But thanks to OnePlus’s controversial invite system, the One hasn’t been easy to get hold of. If you’re still trying to get yours, maybe we can help; Cult of Android Deals is giving you the chance to win a brand new OnePlus One, but the giveaway ends today, so this is your last chance to enter.
