CyanogenMod founder Steve Kondik has been working with OnePlus on the company’s upcoming smartphone for months, and in a new teaser video uploaded to YouTube this week, he finally gets to see the new handset himself for the first time.
You can enjoy the “unboxing” video yourself below, but before you dive in, you should probably prepare yourself for disappointment.
Samsung today made its new Galaxy Ace Style official after the device popped up in Germany late last week.
It’s a midrange offering that’s expected to be priced at around €200 ($275), and for that you get Android 4.4 KitKat topped with Samsung’s latest “TouchWiz Essence” user interface — the same software that powers the South Korean company’s flagship Galaxy S5.
The new Galaxy S5 boasts a ton of fancy new features, but one of the things Samsung has been pushing most since the handset was unveiled back in February is its built-in heart rate sensor. But just how revolutionary is that new sensor?
Well, as it turns out, not very. In fact, based on the hands-on video below, you can get the same results using your smartphone’s camera and LED flash with an app like Heart Rate Monitor from Runtastic.
Samsung’s new lineup of Galaxy Gear smartwatches is now available to pre-order from Amazon. All three devices launch on Friday, April 11 in the U.S., and Amazon will deliver them to your door at no extra cost.
Verizon Wireless has finally confirmed its pricing for the Samsung Galaxy S5 and begun taking pre-orders, just one week ahead of the handset’s launch. In line with other U.S. carriers, Big Red is charging $199.99 for the new flagship — after a $50 mail-in rebate — when you take out a two-year contract.
