You no longer need a Nexus device to get your hands on Android M early. Sony has made the Developer Preview available on a dozen Xperia devices, including the flagship Xperia Z3, but you’ll need to flash it all by yourself.

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.”

Ever imagined what it would be like if Sony, not Apple, had delivered the first truly modern smartphone? If the Walkman had never gone out of style, just evolved with the times?

Well, it’d probably look something like this.

Verizon today announced that it will be the exclusive carrier of Sony’s new Xperia Z4v when the handset goes on sale in the U.S. this summer, packing a 20.7-megapixel camera, a Quad HD display, and a water-resistant form factor that protects you from accidental spills and heavy rain.

Sony’s new Xperia Z3+ — an Xperia Z4 for international markets — is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 810 processor, and like many other devices that carry this chip, it has a tendency to overheat.

Sony has been forced to acknowledge the problem after one Japanese carrier began placing warning notices on the device, but the company insists it’s “normal.”
