With the Samsung Galaxy Nexus celebrating its second birthday this month, we had a feeling it wouldn’t be long before Google finally stopped supporting it with the latest Android updates. And shortly after it announced the new Nexus 5 with Android 4.4 KitKat on Thursday, the search giant confirmed the Galaxy Nexus was getting left behind.
Motorola is in the process of pushing out a largely-requested update via Google Play for the official Moto X camera application. The upgrade brings a brightened camera viewfinder, a Quick Capture mode for Enterprise users and a truckload of stability improvements and bug fixes. So, all-in-all it’s a pretty significant update that we would advise all Moto X owners to download.
Google was pretty busy yesterday, as well as unveiling its much-anticipated flagship smartphone of 2013, the Nexus 5, the team at Mountain View also updated the case offerings for its latest tablet – the Nexus 7 and its latest Chromebook – the HP Chromebook 11.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un might be an Apple user, but that doesn’t mean that North Korea’s state-run computer agency doesn’t see the value of launching a tablet of its own.
Costing around $250, the Korea Computer Center’s Samjiyon SA-70 has a 7-inch screen with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, 1 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM, 4 GB internal memory, and a card slot equipped with an 8 GB micro SD memory card. There is also a 2 mega pixel camera, microphone, gyro sensor. Currently there’s no way to connect to the Internet, although there is an extendable antenna for receiving state television signals.
Yesterday, Google unveiled its latest flagship smartphone, the Nexus 5, and as expected the handset will ship running 4.4 KitKat, Android’s brand new version of software when it leaves the warehouse. In an effort to make life a little bit easier for developers Google has uploaded the official Android 4.4 factory images to its website so they can tinker with the Nexus 5’s ROM till their heart’s content prior to receiving the handset.
