The best thing about Android is also the worst thing about Android — namely, the software is very good at predicting your needs, although it does this by relentlessly collecting information about you. If you’re cool with Google having so much information about you at its disposal, however, you’ll really love what it’s done with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, particularly the new Google Now on Tap feature.

Microsoft announced on Tuesday a series of flagship devices that are supposed to take on the iPhone 6s and Nexus 5X that have some impressive characteristics.
