Yesterday, Sony teased the launch of its “next big thing” and less than 24 hours later, the company has gone ahead and unveiled this “thing”, also known as the Xperia T3.
Sony’s latest Xperia is a mid-range device with modest specs but packs in a huge 5.3-inch HD TRILUMINOS display in a 7mm body, making it the thinnest device in its category.
Earlier today, Samsung unveiled its latest super-sized smartphone, with a declaration that it’s the only ‘true phablet’ on the market. Apart from a gigantic screen, the Galaxy W really doesn’t have much going for it — it features some pretty mediocre specifications and ships running an older build of the Android operating system.
Spotify is currently pushing out a much-anticipated update for its official Android application. In terms of added functionality, this upgrade doesn’t bring much to the table, but it does include an exciting new feature which allows users to download their entire music library for offline listening.
Google has just started rolling out the Android 4.4.3 update for the Nexus 5 and its other Nexus branded siblings. While the company has already uploaded the factory images and binaries on its website, the OTA update is yet to go live.
The Android 4.4.3 update does not really bring with it any major new features or improvements, except for an improved Dialer and People’s app, and is mainly focused on squashing some internal bugs and improving the overall security level of the OS.
As I’m sure most of you would agree, cloud-based applications and services play a huge role in the Android ecosystem. They are the foundations of the entire OS and can do some pretty amazing things, such as turning your device into a fully-functioning Sat Nav, creating a virtual aquarium for your dining room table/desk and lots, lots more.
However, you may not be aware that these applications don’t actually have to be downloaded onto your Android-powered smartphone or tablet through the built-in app store. They can, instead, be installed remotely on your handset via the official Play Store website.
