Samsung’s new Galaxy S6 has beaten out the iPhone 6 and other flagship rivals in a “real-world” performance test. The device came first in six out of nine challenges, which tested for things like Wi-Fi speed, camera load time, gaming performance, and video editing.

Samsung’s samey marketing team is back with another ad for the new Galaxy S6 and S6 edge that again picks on the iPhone. This time, it’s for the lack of wireless charging, which comes built-in on the South Korean company’s latest devices.

Tame TouchWiz and give your Galaxy S6 or S6 edge a Material Design makeover with the new “Material” theme. Available to download for free from Samsung’s official Theme Store, the package brings new icons, wallpapers, menus, and more — and no rooting is required.

Yes, we’re getting excited about a cable.

Why? Because it’s likely to be the first USB-C cable that ships with an Android-powered smartphone — the upcoming OnePlus 2. It’s also very similar to the OnePlus One’s cable, which boasts an excellent, tangle-free design.

Following months of speculation surrounding the OnePlus 2, OnePlus has today addressed the rumors with a post on its official forum entitled “We are mad.”

In it, the company talks about its decision to use a Snapdragon 810 processor — despite overheating concerns — and confirms that “the price of the 2 will certainly be higher than $322.”
