**Huawei's Latest Handset: The Honor 6 Plus**

Huawei has just released its latest handset, the Honor 6 Plus, which is a follow-up to the bargain-priced Honor 6 that arrived in Europe just last month. This new device boasts a sleek 5.5-inch LCD display with impressive specs. The phone is powered by an octa-core Current 925 system on a chip, paired with three gigabytes of RAM and 16-32 gigabytes of internal storage. The camera setup features two rear 8-megapixel cameras that allow for advanced depth capture and refocusing, similar to HTC's Ultra Pixels. The sensor's aperture can be adjusted from an f-stop of 0.95 all the way to an f-stop of 16, making it ideal for low-light photography.

The Honor 6 Plus also comes with a massive 3600 milliamp hour battery, which should provide all-day power usage. In addition to its impressive specs, Huawei is offering up to 100 gigabytes of free cloud storage and access to over 8 million global Wi-Fi hotspots. The company's Soft SIM data roaming subscription service will be available exclusively in China for the first quarter of 2015.

**Micromax's New Phablet: The Micromax Eureka**

Last week, Micromax released its first phone under the U brand, called the Eureka, which is now available in India. The device boasts solid specs and runs on CyanogenMod at an affordable price tag of approximately $140. The 5.5-inch smartphone will go against other budget-minded devices available in India, including phones from Xiaomi and OnePlus, as well as the Google-sponsored Android One.

The Eureka is notable for being the first device besides the OnePlus One to run SignalOS, a feature that Micromax secured exclusive rights to in India, preventing OnePlus from continuing sales in the fast-growing market. The phone's specs are impressive, considering its price tag of $140. It will be interesting to see how it performs in the Indian market.

**Google Hangouts and Google Voice Integration**

For those who have been waiting for a fusion of Google Hangouts and Google Voice, the wait is finally over. A recent update to the Google Dialer app allows users to recognize that it's an actual phone dialer. When you grab the update through Google Play, head to the phone number in the application, click it, and you should be prompted to either use the Hangouts Dialer or the stock Phone app.

**Android M: A Special Version for Vehicles**

Google has been working on a platform called Android Auto, which provides a software layer that doesn't bring Android to your car directly. However, according to a report from Routers, the next version of Android, dubbed Android M, won't just play nice with vehicle information systems; it will serve as the brains of the operation.

Android M will be designed specifically for installation into vehicles and is expected to arrive next year. The interface and features will likely be mostly the same as Android Auto, but without the need for smartphones to access these features. This could revolutionize the way we interact with our vehicles, making it easier to access information, control music, and more.

**Competition in Wearables and Mobile Devices**

The question remains whether competition in wearables and mobile devices will follow the same pattern as the automobile market. In the past, domestic manufacturers dominated the market, while foreign brands made a significant push and now dominate the market. Will the same thing happen with wearables and mobile devices? Only time will tell.

However, for now, it's clear that competition is driving innovation in these industries. With new devices and features emerging regularly, users have more options than ever before. As we move forward, it will be exciting to see how this competition plays out and what benefits it will bring to consumers.
