Google has added a new ultra-affordable Android-powered smartphone to its rapidly-growing range of Google Play Edition devices. The Moto G GPE is listed as $179 for the 8GB unlocked model and will work on both AT&T and T-Mobile’s networks in the U.S.
AT&T has officially announced that its carrier-branded Galaxy S4 Active variant is the latest in a long line of Samsung devices now receiving the largely requested Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update. This upgrade brings a truckload of bug fixes and stability improvements, in addition to an updated version of the TouchWiz user interface, together with support for the Galaxy Gear and Samsung KNOX.
Today, Boost Mobile officially announced that it will be adding Motorola’s budget-friendly smartphone, the Moto G, to its rapidly growing lineup of mid-range Android powered handsets. According to the press release, the handset will cost just $129 on Boost’s ‘no-contract’ $55 Monthly Unlimited Plan or its $3 Daily Unlimited Plan starting from this coming Monday, January 20.
Sprint is currently pushing out a relatively minor over-the-air stability update to all its carrier-branded HTC One devices located in the United States. Sadly, this upgrade doesn’t bring any major software modifications, such as Android 4.4 KitKat, but it does include a repair for the issue that ‘blocked users from being able to Update Profile/PRL.’
Microsoft updated its Xbox Music app for iOS last week to add support for offline playlists, and now its Android counterpart is getting the same treatment. The update, which is rolling out now via Google Play, also adds a new feature that lets you play all of your music by genre.
