The Samsung Galaxy S4 mini has been making its way to a number of carriers in the U.S. in recent months, and you can now get it on U.S. Cellular. It’s just $49.99 when you take out a new two-year contract, or you can purchase it outright for $499.99 if you’d prefer not to enter into a new commitment.

The Google Play Edition HTC One has today begun to receive its much-anticipated over-the-air update for Android 4.4 KitKat. It comes just over a month after KitKat made its public debut alongside the Nexus 5.
