Android M has a name, and it’s even tastier than Android L. Google gave its latest Android build an official name on Monday, and it released the final developer preview of Android 6.0 Marshmallow as well — you can download it right here. The new Android 6.0 build is only available for Nexus devices though, so most Android fans won’t be able to get their hands on Marshmallow for quite some time.

I’ve gone back and forth on the upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive adventure horror game Until Dawn, but after spending a few hours with a preview code last month, I think I’m more excited than I am skeptical for the retail release. It’s a pitch perfect teen horror story, chock full of all the tropes you’d expect from a summer movie, but it’s genuinely scary as well.

No one would blame you if you (incorrectly) assumed that the Wii U would be Nintendo’s last traditional home console. After gambling on the Wii, Nintendo decided to take another huge risk by releasing a majorly underpowered console with a controller as large as an iPad, but this time it didn’t pay off.

Call them Android fanboys, enthusiasts, geeks or whatever else you want, but the fact remains: avid Android fans tend to have great taste in smartphones. They don’t want to deal with cumbersome user interfaces from smartphone makers, and they always have a zero-tolerance policy for carrier bloatware. “Pure Android” that is free of clutter is always preferential, and that’s why Nexus phones are so popular among hardcore Android fans.
But in 2014, a new player emerged and blew Android fans away. The OnePlus One had style, power, a shockingly affordable price and CyanogenMod software, which is often heralded by fans as an even better option than pure Android. For many savvy Android users, it was the perfect phone.

We feel pretty confident that Apple is only going to launch two new iPhone models at its big event in early September, but that doesn’t mean the company isn’t planning on putting out a new “iPhone 6c” somewhere down the line. G for Games directs our attention to a new rumor posted on Chinese blog Feng.com that claims to show a drawing of an iPhone 6c that has a display of 5 inches. This is interesting because the rumor also claims that Apple is still launching a new 4.7-inch iPhone and a 5.5-inch iPhone later this year but it also says Apple is making a phone that’s sized in between the two as well.
