We’re already in May, and that means we’re heading for an interesting time in the mobile industry, as companies rush to make their big announcements before the inevitable summer lull. Without doubt, the most interesting upcoming event is Google I/O on May 28; with Android M all but confirmed to be announced at the conference, it looks that we’ll have another preview edition to geek over in the summer months.

New devices are coming: OPPO has the R7 and R7 Plus launching next week, and Josh will be in China to cover it. Back in the States, NVIDIA has an Android gaming announcement, ASUS is about to launch the Zenfone 2, and HUAWEI has a surprise for early June. Computex is taking place in Taipei in the first week of June and we expect a smattering of Android tablets and ASUS’ new smartwatch. And there’s E3, and given how mobile is becoming a key focus for companies like Nintendo, Konami, or Square Enix, we look forward to quite a few interesting mobile gaming announcements.

We’re expanding our team with some bright new people, including an absolute expert in electronics and electrical engineering. Expect some great deep-level articles on the topic soon.

As always, take a few seconds to enter our weekly giveaway, this week we are giving away a Samsung Galaxy S6! You never know when luck strikes and you get yourself a hot Android device!
