Samsung pushes Lollipop update to the Galaxy Tab S 8.4
4/23/2015 3:32:38 PM
The update to Android 5.0 Lollipop for the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 has been out for a while now, for both the Wi-Fi-only and LTE-capable iterations of that tablet. So it's only natural that Samsung starts pushing the new software to the smaller member of its premium tablet line, the Galaxy Tab S 8.4. After all, both it and the 10.5-inch model were unveiled and launched at the same time. Unfortunately for now the update is confined to the Wi-Fi-only version of the Tab S 8.4. The first country to get Lollipop for this device is, unsurprisingly, Samsung's native South Korea. Over there the update should already be rolling out over-the-air, while also being available to download and install by using Kies, Samsung's desktop PC software. If you're in Korea, after you apply the update you'll be running Android 5.0.2 Lollipop and build T700KXU1BOD4. Now that the cat's out of the bag, let's hope the Lollipop release will quickly make it to Galaxy Tab S 8.4 units sold in other countries, as well as to its LTE-enabled...
EE's Harrier line launches with two affordable smartphones
4/23/2015 2:17:33 PM
UK operator EE has announced two new own-brand smartphones today. They are the Harrier and the Harrier Mini, continuing EE's habit of naming mobile devices after birds. The Harrier comes with a 5.2-inch 1080p touchscreen, a 13 MP rear camera with LED flash, 2GB of RAM, and a 2,500 mAh battery. At the helm is Qualcomm's 64-bit Snapdragon 615 SoC with an octa-core CPU. The Harrier is just 8.9mm thin, and it runs Android 5.0 Lollipop. EE will sell it for £199.99 on Pay as you go, and it will be free with contracts starting at £21.99 per month. The Harrier Mini is obviously smaller, as its name implies. It's got a 4.7-inch 720p touchscreen, an 8 MP rear camera with LED flash, 1GB of RAM, and a 2,000 mAh battery. It's powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 410 chipset, coming with a 1.2 GHz quad-core CPU. The Mini also runs Android 5.0 Lollipop. It will be offered on Pay as you go for £99.99, and it will be free with contracts starting at £16.99 per month. Both smartphones have support for 4G LTE, as well as Wi-Fi calling. They will be available for purchase on April 28, which is next Tuesday. Source 1 • Source...
Samsung confirms its next smartwatch has round screen
4/23/2015 1:14:39 PM
Samsung has released a lot of smartwatches so far, but it's reportedly taking its time with the next one, wanting to get it just right. The device is codenamed Orbis, and will be sold as the Gear A. It will come with a round screen, unlike all of its predecessors. The Orbis (or Gear A) has been leaked a lot so far, but today Samsung has actually confirmed that it will have a round display. The company did the deed through an official press release announcing that the software development kit (SDK) for its next smartwatch will be out before the wearable itself launches. This is done in a bid to convince developers to write apps for the watch, and have as many of those as possible available straight from its release day. Developers who are interested to take part in this effort can sign up at a dedicated website, and then wait for Samsung to contact them with more details. The giveaway is in the image attached to said press release, which features only round app examples. So at least this is clear now. What's left to happen is for Samsung to actually announce the Gear A, and there's currently no telling when that will occur. From past leaks we know that the Gear A may be powered by Samsung's Exynos 7420 chipset, the same one employed by the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge. The smartwatch will get a version with 3G connectivity and voice call support, and it should sport wireless charging. Source |...
LG G4 said to be costlier than Samsung's Galaxy S6
4/23/2015 11:49:38 AM
While we already have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the LG's upcoming flagship smartphone, the G4, it wasn't yet clear how much it will cost, but that was until now. According to an LG official quoted by ETnews, the device will be priced in between the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge price points, which means that it will cost more than $795 but less than $910. "Prices are yet to be confirmed, but will stay within that range. The comparison target is Edge because the best camera, natural leather, etc. are used," said the official. Going by the information revealed by SK Telecom, the device is expected to carry a price tag of $825. Via 1 | Via...
