Chromebits, LG G4 leaks, HTC One M9+ | Pocketnow Weekly 142

Perhaps Rithvik Rao put it best when he said: "the yearly cycle is repeating itself." We're wrapping up our first wave of HTC One M9 coverage with a coming review rebuttal from our Editor-in-Chief, putting the finishing touches on our Galaxy S6 review, and we're steeling ourselves for the LG G4 launch later this month. But amid all this, we've still got to make room for the stuff you keep coming back for: the mobile-tech news of the week. 
That's what we're covering on this episode of the Pocketnow Weekly, and it's much more than just leaks and rumors. We tell you how to turn your TV into a computer with Google's new Chromebit, we show you what Microsoft is bringing in the next Windows 10 update, and we delve back into the world of virtual-reality with talk of LG's VR headset for the G3 – while teasing a possible future giveaway!
All of the above, plus a new installment of What Phone Should I Get and another big bag of listener mail, lies ahead. Pocketnow Weekly 142 is armed, the tube is flooded and the outer door is open – so stop polishing the cannonball and pull the trigger. Watch our video stream or listen to the high-quality audio version available later on– and shoot your questions to podcast [AT] pocketnow [DOT] com for a shot at getting your question read aloud on the air. See you then!
