When I first read this headline, I thought Sony had already obsolete it’s own QX lens cameras with new models, barely a few months after launch:

Sony Upgrades QX10 & QX100 Lens Cams with Higher ISO, Shutter Priority and 1080p

But no: these new features are free, and can be applied to your existing lens-cam with nothing more than a firmware update. That’s pretty neat, right? It’s almost as if Sony has been paying attention to Fujifilm and it’s awesome feature-adding, camera-improving updates.

Apple’s iBeacon is suddenly in the news a lot, and will soon show up at major sporting events, big retail stores and elsewhere.

The beacon revolution is being presented as an Apple thing for Apple users. But as with so many technologies, Apple didn’t invent beacons. It was here before Apple’s version got here. And it’s not just for Apple users — even Apple’s iBeacon supports Android.

Here’s everything you need to know about beacons.

After Android 4.4.2 KitKat was released by Google, HTC was quick to announce that it would update the carrier variants of the One in the US to KitKat within 90 days. However, a few days ago the company announced that it would be missing its self-imposed deadline as the update has been delayed for at least a couple of weeks.

Now, in a surprising turn of events, Sprint has announced that One owners in the United States can manually pull the KitKat update from their servers with a wider roll-out beginning from 11th February. 

Less than 24 hours after its official announcement in Poland, Samsung’s scaled-down variant of its flagship smartphone, the Galaxy Note 3 Neo, is available to pre-order from German online retailer NotebooksBilliger starting at €499 for the HSPA+ variant, and €529.90 for the LTE+ model, these price tags are a little steep even though the devices come unlocked with no carrier branding.

A leaked press render for the upcoming red variant of Google’s flagship smartphone, the Nexus 5, has now been posted on Twitter just a couple of days after the image of an internal Sprint document appeared online revealing that the company was preparing to launch the red colored handset on February 4.
