OnePlus has started rolling out a new software update for the OnePlus One that brings with it a number of security and bug-fixes.

Samsung’s already confirmed that the Galaxy S4 will get an Android 5.0 Lollipop update, and thanks to a leaked pre-release build, we get to see exactly what it’s going to be like ahead of its public debut. As you might expect, it’s heavily modified thanks to TouchWiz, but Samsung’s made a lot of nice visual changes that let that Material Design shine through in places.

Thanks to its cheap, Apple-esque devices, Xiaomi has quickly become the world’s third-largest smartphone supplier. Now all that copying is about to pay off big time: The Chinese startup is raising $1.5 billion in capital, the largest private financing deal since Facebook in 2011.

Negotiations haven’t been finalized, but investors include Russian Internet company DST — which backed Facebook, Airbnb and Alibaba — with a valuation expected to top $40 billion, CNBC reports.

It’s easy to point a finger at Xiaomi, the Chinese phone maker that clearly draws a lot of… inspiration from Apple. And there’s Samsung, of course. But there’s another copycat offender out there that’s almost just as bad, if not worse: Lenovo.

The Chinese manufacturer has a new phone coming out called the Sisley S90. Excuse the fact that the device looks just like an iPhone 6; its website is basically a carbon clone of Apple’s.

Android is the biggest platform on the planet, so building apps for it can be incredibly lucrative. What’s more, leaning Android development isn’t as hard or as expensive as you might think. In fact, this Learn to Develop for Android course from Cult of Android Deals will teach you all you need to know to build and publish your own apps for just $19.
