Google made it even easier to select images photos in its new Google Photos app by giving users a simple drag gesture. It works so well, in fact, that Apple stole it for iOS 9.

Samsung is expected to embrace the new USB-C standard with its upcoming Galaxy Note 5. The flagship phablet is likely to be Samsung’s first USB-C smartphone, and we’ll have to wait until the fall to get our hands on it.

Galaxy S6 and S6 edge adopters are itching to get their hands on Samsung’s latest Android 5.1.1 software ahead of Android M’s big debut this fall. To make you even more impatient, here’s a preview video that demonstrates all of the new features the update brings.

Samsung already has a flagship phablet series in the Galaxy Note, but that won’t stop it from launching a larger version of the Galaxy S6, according to a new report.

Sources familiar with the South Korean company’s plans say a “Galaxy S6 Plus” will launch in the coming weeks, with a display measuring around 5.5 inches in size and Samsung’s impressive 16-megapixel rear-facing camera.

One of the best things to come out of Google’s I/O keynote on Thursday was Google Photos, a brand new service for storing, sharing, and organizing your images and videos.

In this week’s Friday Night Fight with Cult of Android versus Cult of Mac, we pit it against Apple’s iCloud Photo Library service to find out which is the best pick for your pics.
