The recent Google+ iOS update that saw the company pushing out sweeping UI and design changes, not to mention a handful of new features, has finally hit Google’s own in-house OS. Google+ v2.6 for Android brings a brand new, photo-centric UI as well as redesigned +1 buttons in an effort to make the app easier to use/share content, and of course to simply look nicer.

Our mobile-loving friends across the pond in Germany will soon be able to wrap their hands around one of (and in our opinion) the best Android phones debuting in the next ~6 months — the HTC One XL. The handset has already hit North American shores, unfortunately dropping the Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor. But it’s not all bad.
