Samsung’s issues with the original Snapdragon 810 may have forced Qualcomm to build a brand new processor just for the Galaxy S6.

Sources say the chipmaker is modifying the original design of its latest SoC to secure its place in what will almost certainly be Samsung’s best-selling smartphone to date — and quite possibly the most successful Android-powered device of 2015.

If you’re still missing your old clamshell smartphone but you couldn’t bear to be without Instagram and Facebook, LG’s new Ice Cream Smart could be just what you’re looking for. It’s an Android-powered flip phone with a physical keypad that runs all your favorite apps.

Facebook has just released a ‘Lite’ version of their app on the Google Play store that is meant to use less data and work on even slower mobile data networks. The app is aimed at low-end Android devices and targeted towards users in developing markets like Nepal and Bangladesh where 2G mobile data is still prevalent.

Google and Motorola went all out with the Nexus 6 to make it as good as flagship rivals from other manufacturers, but their super-sized handset could have been even better.

The device was set to get a fingerprint scanner, according to former Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside, but the plan had to be scrapped when Apple bought the best supplier in the industry.
