Android Authority this week

There was a deluge of Apple-related news this week, but that doesn’t mean news has been boring on the Android front! Samsung had a few choice words to say about the larger iPhones, the first Android apps arrived on Chrome OS devices, we heard several interesting rumors about HTC’s upcoming devices, the integration of Hangouts and Google Voice finally began, Nvidia confirmed the Nexus 9, we learned more details about Samsung’s upcoming full-metal phone, and Dell surprised us with a very exciting tablet.

Coming up next

Now that Android OEMs and Apple released their best products, we’re looking forward to see how all these hot new devices compete for our wallets this holiday season. Note 4 vs iPhone 6 Plus, Xperia Z3 Compact vs vs Galaxy Alpha, Android Wear vs Apple Watch, Moto 360 vs LG G Watch R… the next couple of months are going to be interesting!

Then there’s the Nexus 9 and the official launch of Android L release. What’s even more exciting is the wave of Material-themed updates that the launch of the next version of Android will trigger.

Darcy, Derek, and Josh are hitting Hong Kong next week to show you how the new iPhones compare to the best of Android. There may be some drop testing involved, just saying…

We gave away a Galaxy Note 4 last Sunday, and now it’s time for another fan favorite, the OnePlus One. Check out the giveaway here!
