BlackBerry has today begun rolling out its version 2.2 update for BBM, which adds a bunch of new emoticons and makes some nice improvements. Signing up is easier than ever for new BBM users with this release — as is adding new friends to your BBM contacts list.
There’s not a lot we don’t already know about the Galaxy S5 Active thanks to recent leaks, but the new device has today been made official and available to order by AT&T. It’s essentially an original Galaxy S5 packed into a more robust form factor — but it does boast a couple of new features that its flagship sibling doesn’t offer.
All the high-end Android smartphones released in the last six months or so have the ability to record videos in 4K resolution. Considering that 4K content and display are still a rarity, having this feature on your $800 smartphone is a biggie.

HTC is offering up another awesome deal on its latest flagship by reducing its price to just $99 when you take out a new two-year contract. The offer applies to the Amber Gold One M8, and it’s available for today only.
The above shows that, an unannounced Samsung smartphone has recently passed through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Information included in the brief filing documentation reveals that we could perhaps be looking at the brand new ‘Galaxy Mega 2’ (SM-T2558) — a revamped model of the South Korean company’s largest smartphone of 2013.
