CyanogenMod, one of the biggest and best custom ROMs, now officially supports Samsung Galaxy Note 4 handsets connected to Sprint and T-Mobile. The latest builds will let you ditch TouchWiz for a purer, Lollipop-based Android experience.

Asus built one of the best Android Wear watches you can buy on its first attempt, and it is already promising a second-generation ZenWatch that will be even better.

In addition to the ability to make calls without being connected to a smartphone, the device could have significantly better battery life.

If you’re still missing your old clamshell smartphone but you couldn’t bear to be without Instagram and Facebook, LG’s new Ice Cream Smart could be just what you’re looking for. It’s an Android-powered flip phone with a physical keypad that runs all your favorite apps.

Samsung may have dropped Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 810 chip for the Galaxy S6 due to an alleged overheating issue, but rival smartphone maker LG, which is using the chip in its new G Flex 2, has come out to defend it.

Woo Ram-chan, LG vice president for mobile product planning, says the Snapdragon 810’s performance is “quite satisfactory,” and he doesn’t understand why Samsung has an issue with heat.

There won’t be a shortage of smartphone unveilings at Mobile World Congress in early March, but you can cross LG’s new G4 off your wishlist right away. A company executive has confirmed that the device will not be unveiled at the event, but sources familiar with Samsung’s plans say we will get the Galaxy S6 instead.
