Google has been turning on carrier billing for the Play Store for a little while now, and it’s now rolling out in the the Philippines as well as Poland on Globe Telecom and T-Mobile, respectively.

When Sony’s Xperia Z2 hit the scene, there was word of a wireless charging cover that was going to be available, but it never appeared.

Xiaomi to Sell A Further 40,000 Units of the RedMi 1S on September 16th

The company manufacturers their devices in batches, and sells them off like that, with the last batch of 40,000 phones taking just 4.2 seconds to sell out. The company has said however, that come September 16th, people will have another chance as a further 40,000 will be put up for sale.
