Android Authority this week

Rumors and speculation are heating up as the new Nexus 6 looms closer, and this week brought us a few more details to geek over. But that wasn’t the only cool news in the Android universe this week – we spent some time with the Note 4, got to see what the fuss is about #gapgate, got a peek at Samsung’s interpretation of Android L, learned about Google’s interest in Cyanogen, and met HTC’s new Desire Eye for the first time.

Welcome to Android Authority this week!

We’ve got several interesting applications to our job listing from last week, and if things go well, you may begin to see some new faces around here pretty soon. We’re still looking though, so if you missed the posting somehow, it’s not too late to throw your CV in there.

Note 4! We know you can’t wait for it. The bad news is you’ll have to wait a few more weeks to actually get your hands on it. But you can live vicariously through our Note 4 feature coverage, and, of course our Note 4 review. That one’s coming pretty soon – keep an eye on the website tomorrow.

900,000 subscribers on YouTube, and we’re still growing fast. Thanks to the amazing work of my YouTuber colleagues, Android Authority is among the most popular technology channels out there. We’re taking bets internally on when we will hit 1,000,000. Should be sometime in November!
