Best Buy has officially announced that starting Monday, November 18, it will be offering an exclusive “Blue Arctic” edition of Samsung’s former flagship Galaxy S4. Pre-orders for the special edition handset start on Sunday, November 10, and you’ll be able to pick one up for use on either AT&T, Verizon or Sprint.
Back when AT&T first started rolling out its nationwide LTE network in late 2011, it was at least a year behind Verizon. In fact, when the third-gen iPad launched with LTE last year, we were hard pressed to recommend an AT&T model simply because LTE coverage was so lame compared to Verizon.
But things have changed. Thanks to aggressive pushes into new markets, AT&T and Verizon are now pretty much nose-and-nose when total number of LTE markets is compared.
The popular U.S. operator, Verizon, has officially announced its first budget-friendly low-end 7-inch tablet, the Elipsis 7, which will ship running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. The slate will be available to purchase from tomorrow Thursday, November 7, with the rather affordable price tag of $250 from the carrier’s official website.
Google upset Samsung Galaxy Nexus owners last week when it announced that the two-year-old device would not be supported by its latest Android 4.4 KitKat release, but as is often the case in the Android community, third-party developers have stepped in to lend a hand. Just days after the update got its public release alongside the Nexus 5, an unofficial ROM for the Galaxy Nexus is already available.
Verizon Wireless is in the process of pushing out a very much-anticipated over-the-air (OTA) update to all of its carrier-branded Galaxy S4 handsets in the United State. This upgrade brings the latest version of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean together with Samsung’s “premium suite” software – which made its debut appearance on the Galaxy Note 3.
