Motorola may have put most of its efforts into its new Moto X, Moto G, and Moto 360 in recent months, but the company hasn’t forgotten about its Droid partnership with Verizon. In fact, the company reportedly has a new handset up its sleeve that’s set to arrive next month with a new rapid charging feature.

Sony announced on Wednesday that it expects its losses to quadruple over the next financial year, and it’s all thanks to its smartphone business. The Japanese company is now making efforts to turn things around, starting with a division rebuild that will see 1,000 staff out of a job.

HTC will launch the much-anticipated Nexus 9 on October 16, according to an “anonymous tipster” familiar with the company’s plans. The device is expected to boast an 8.9-inch Quad HD display and NVIDIA’s latest Tegra K1 processor, and it could be available to purchase by the end of next month.

The OnePlus One’s fancy StyleSwap covers, one of the things that made the handset unique, have been abandoned before they even went on sale. OnePlus says that it ran into “technical difficulties” during mass production, and the number of covers that passed its quality control tests was “much lower” than the company had anticipated.

Most of us have a computer at home, a computer at work, a smartphone and/or a tablet — and all of our precious data is spread out across them all. Our files, photos, documents, and more are rarely found in one place, so what happens when one of those devices goes missing? If you lose your smartphone, do you have backups of your photos elsewhere?

If not, then you need iDrive, which lets you backup all of your data — from multiple devices — to a safe space in the cloud that’s accessibly from anywhere at anytime. And there’s never been a better time to get started, because thanks to Cult of Android Deals, you can get 1TB of storage for a whole year for just $19.
