Galaxy-S5-Active-Key

Last year’s Galaxy S4 Active was marketed by Samsung as a waterproof version of the original Galaxy S4 — but there were a number of subtle differences between the two internally. Buying the Active meant you had to settle for a lesser camera — 8-megapixels versus 13-megapixels — and a TFT display over a Super AMOLED one.

There are going to be some hardware differences between these variants this time around as well, it seems — but for 2014, the Galaxy S5 Active has the advantage over the original Galaxy S5. In addition to a barometer, the device has a customizable “Active Key” and what appears to be optical image stabilization.

LG has announced its first official accessory for the G3, its upcoming flagship smartphone of 2014, which is expected to break cover next Tuesday, May 27. The add-on, dubbed the  ‘QuickCircle’ case, is pretty similar to Samsung’s S-View case, giving users easy access to information whilst their device is locked and protected.

Google Chrome for Android now allows you to restore tabs after they’ve been closed and stream videos from the web to your Chromecast, thanks to a new update that’s rolling out via Google Play this week. The release also adds support for fullscreen videos with subtitles and HTML5 controls, and the “multi-window” feature on some Android devices.

Product leaks don’t get much better than this, folks.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S5 Active, a super strong version of the flagship Galaxy S5, has made its way out into the wild ahead of its official unveiling. No, we don’t have blurry photos or questionable press renders — but we do have a couple of clear, high-quality videos of the handset being used.

The One M8 has been on sale for almost two months now, and when it launched, we all assumed this device would be HTC’s flagship smartphone for 2014. But over the past week, it has become apparent that that’s probably not the case. Just like Samsung, HTC is planning a “Prime” version of its latest device that’s going to be even better.

One of its improvements is said to be a new UltraPixel camera with a 16-megapixel sensor, and the leaked image below gives us a peek at what that massive sensor’s going to look like.
