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.

If you’ve been thinking about treating yourself to a new Nexus 6, now is the time. A number of retailers have slashed $150 off the handset’s price tag for a limited time, so it now starts at $499.
