International Galaxy S4 Active gets KitKat update

The Samsung I9295 Galaxy S4 Active, the international version of the IP67-certified flagship of 2013, is finally getting its Android 4.4.2 KitKat update as we speak.
The update - software version I9295XXUCNE5 - is seeding across phones in the Netherlands and more countries are expected to follow in a gradual rollout. KitKat brings white status bar icons, fullscreen album art when playing music, the option of choosing the default messaging or launcher apps, wireless printing, speed improvements and battery improvements.


You can check for the update in the Software update section of the menu in the smartphone, through Samsung's desktop Kies app. You can also manually download the firmware and push it to your device if you know your way around manual flashing - the files are available at the source link below.
It's been a long time coming for Samsung Galaxy S4 Active users. The device got its update on AT&T's network, which the carrier later pulled, while the non-water resistant Samsung Galaxy S4 has been enjoying KitKat-y goodness since February.

BeatsPill+ is the first Beats speaker post Apple acquisition

Image
You can't be a part of Apple and not have a Plus model, Beats Electronics will testify. The first product out of the company after the acquisition is the BeatsPill+ wireless speaker. Sporting an updated design compared to the Pill 2.0, the new model keeps the shape of its namesake, but has the controls on a flat top plate and the drivers firing forward instead of up at an angle. 63mm high, the Pill+ is 17mm taller than the Pill 2.0, and it's also 2cm longer. That doesn't prepare you for the 745g of heft - the thing is 2.4 times heavier than the 2.0. The stereo speaker has a 2-way crossover for a total of four drivers. The Pill+ connects wirelessly via Bluetooth, and if you pair it with a phone, you could use its speakerphone function. You can sync a couple of Pill-pluses and have each play a separate channel, or just have both pump out the same signal for more bang. BeatsPill+ speaker The battery inside Beats' latest creation should be goo...

Jak and Daxter Collection Vita Review

Image
Jak and Daxter get deported.  The Jak and Daxter series stands as a testament to the awesome games of the PlayStation 2 generation, and also serves as the turning point when we really started to recognize Naughty Dog as a top-tier developer. Last year the original trilogy got a rather excellent HD upgrade and port to the PlayStation 3 with the Jak and Daxter HD Collection. This year the same trilogy comes to the PlayStation Vita, and while it's a thrill to have some of the best platformers ever on my portable system, I have to say that the Vita is the worst way to play these games. As a rundown for the uninitiated: Jak 1 ( full review here ) is a classic platformer from the PS2 days, full of charisma and humor. It's got a kid-friendly vibe, and focuses more on the platforming than combat. It's one of those game genres that have been forgotten, and ...

MSI GS60 Ghost Gaming Laptop Review

Image
The beast within.  The idea behind gaming laptops can be difficult to understand. They're vastly underpowered when compared to traditional desktops, they aren't upgradable, and they can be very expensive. But for those who travel a lot, whether it be for work, school, or pleasure, relying on a giant, stationary machine for gaming isn't exactly convenient. Thankfully, there are companies like MSI and Razer that want to make portable PC gaming as pain-free as possible by creating compact notebooks with high-powered internals. The GS60 Ghost is MSI's latest attempt at packing a ton of power into a thin and lightweight laptop. With the help of a brand new Nvidia GeForce GTX 800M series GPU and Intel's Haswell processor, the GS60 certainly packs a punch, but unfortunately the experience doesn't spread to the rest of the machine. When it comes to gaming, MSI's new 15.6-inch laptop pumps out graphically-intense titles with ease. Equipped with...

Android TV May Be Google's Next Adventure Into Your Living Room

Image
The battle for your television could get even more crowded. Google is reportedly getting ready to infiltrate your living room once again in the form of Android TV. According to a report from The Verge , the company is allegedly developing the new Android-based "entertainment interface" that will give users access to apps and streaming services through their television set, not unlike Apple TV, Roku, or Amazon's new Fire TV . Image credit: The Verge Leaked images of the supposed software reveal an user interface that wouldn't be unfamiliar for most set-top box owners, with a grid of "cards" showcasing movie and television choices and streaming app options. Android TV may also be able to predict what you want to watch and will provide appropriate recommendations. Users will allegedly have the ability to begin consuming content on their phone or tablet then resume watching on the television as well. In addition to a t...
