Samsung Gear Fit, Gear 2, and Gear 2 Neo Now Shipping from Amazon

via AndroidHeadlines.com |

Amazon put the new Samsung wearables on pre-order earlier this week, with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S5, Gear Fit, Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo yesterday the pre-orders have now shipped and should be on their way to your front door. For those of you with Amazon Prime they’ll likely arrive either on Monday or Tuesday. The Gear Fit and Gear 2 Neo are available for $199, and the Gear 2 for $299. Additionally the Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit are only compatible with a few Samsung devices. Those devices include the Galaxy S5, Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Note 2, and the Galaxy Mega. We may see more Samsung smartphones become compatible soon, but as of right now that’s all that is compatible.

The Gear Fit is unlike the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo. It’s more of a fitness tracker, and integrates with S Health on the Galaxy S5 a bit more. It’s also got a curved display, which looks really nice. Although I’ve heard from a few people that it’s not all that great. Obviously, I’ll have to wait until I get one in hand to really find out for myself. You can still order the Gear Fit, Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo from Amazon right now and they should ship within 24 hours. Of course if you don’t have a Samsung device, you’ll need to upgrade as well.

List of 277 APKs for the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active Leak Out

via AndroidHeadlines.com |

Now that the Samsung Galaxy S5 is out and available for everyone to pick up, we’re now starting to see a few more leaks for the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active. Last year, Samsung did a water-resistant version of their Galaxy S4, which was actually one of my favorite devices. I really liked it better than the original Galaxy S4, and for two reasons. I really liked the way it looked and felt in hand, as well as the display. I’m not a fan of AMOLED, and I know a lot of people are, but I prefer LCD and IPS displays. With that being said, the Galaxy S5 is water-resistant so why are we looking at a Galaxy S5 Active? Well because that’s what Samsung is known to do, release a ton of devices every year.

Last night, @evleaks leaked out a list of the 277 APKs found on the Samsung Galaxy S5, which you can see in the image below. The leak doesn’t really tell us anything about specs, etc., but if it’s anything like the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, I wouldn’t expect the same specs as what is in the Galaxy S5. Probably a 13MP camera, and a 1080p LCD display, Those were the two big differences last year between the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S4 Active. Last year, the Galaxy S4 Active was also exclusive to AT&T, hopefully Samsung doesn’t do that again this year, but then again I can’t think of a reason to buy the Galaxy S5 Active over the Galaxy S5. Although I’m sure Samsung will give us plenty of reasons too once it’s announced. Speaking of which, we’ll probably see an announcement later this summer, as we did last year for the Galaxy S4 Active, Galaxy S4 Mini and Galaxy S4 Zoom.

Are any of you interested in the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active? Let us know in the comments below.

HTC One (M8) in Glamour Red Coming to Verizon Wireless

via AndroidHeadlines.com |

According to our favorite leaker, the HTC One M8 is due to be heading to Verizon Wireless soon in Glamour Red. We saw the HTC One in red last year, but I don’t believe it ever came stateside, unfortunately. It was a great looking color on the HTC One though, and we did get the blue HTC One but it was exclusive to Best Buy. HTC seems to be doing exclusives on colors and storage options. As last year, AT&T had the exclusive on the 64GB HTC One. Which probably didn’t sell super well, but it still would have been nice to have it available on all carriers.

It’s also important to point out that this isn’t the first time that we are seeing reports of a Red and even a blue HTC One (M8) coming soon. So I wouldn’t be surprised to see it hitting shelves soon. What will be interesting though, is to see if the HTC One in red will use the same material as the Glacial Silver and Amber Gold, or if it’ll be the brushed aluminum like the Gunmetal Gray, which is also a bit slippery. Either way one thing is for sure, the red HTC One (M8) is sure to stand out in the crowd, and that may or may not be a good thing.

It’s not uncommon for device manufacturers to rerelease smartphones with a new coat of paint later on in the life cycle of the device. Heck, Samsung does it a few times a year. But usually those colors don’t come to the US, or to the carriers. But the red HTC One (M8) would fit right in with Verizon Wireless, because they are big red. Maybe even a black one with red accents? That would be pretty slick as well.

Are any of you waiting on the red HTC One (M8)? Be sure to let us know in the comments below.

Samsung and HTC Competing for John Legere’s Heart; Given a Gold Galaxy S5

via AndroidHeadlines.com |

Yesterday, we saw that HTC was trying to take the spotlight away from Samsung a bit by giving the very outspoken, T-Mobile CEO a gold HTC One (M8). Later on in the day, Samsung Mobile gave him a gold Galaxy S5. Neither of which are found in stores, and thus are collector’s editions basically. So now you’ve got both Samsung and HTC competing with each other for Legere, although I don’t think he cares which one sells more, as long as the T-Mobile variants sell the most.

It’s pretty cool seeing HTC and Samsung giving out their top-tier smartphones to John Legere, and I’ll be honest I think HTC only did it to get some good press. Which did happen, because we all know that Legere can’t keep his mouth shut, especially on Twitter. Now he has a hard decision in front of him, Samsung Galaxy S5 or HTC One (M8)? In all likeliness he’ll probably be using them both, because he definitely doesn’t want to upset either manufacturer. At least that’s how I view it, I could be wrong. He may also stick to his iPhone 5S that he uses, but that’s the joy of being a CEO, you get to use a different phone everyday.

The Gold Galaxy S5 was not a 24 karat Gold phone like the HTC One (M8) was, but it is still not available anywhere, so that’s still a collector’s edition right now. The regular gold HTC One (M8) is going to be exclusive to Best Buy. So if you want an Amber Gold HTC One (M8) you’ll have to head out to Best Buy and grab one on contract.

How many of you are jealous of Legere and his golden phones? Let us know in the comments down below.

Image Leaks Show Photos Allegedly Taken With The OnePlus One Camera

via AndroidHeadlines.com |

While many of us are waiting to see what the official Oneplus One actually looks like, it seems that we can at least have a look at how pictures taken with the device will turn out. These images leaked over at MyDrivers-a Chinese news source- and show off just a few samples that seem to have been taken with the back camera on the OnePlus One. The company has been secretive of the device when it comes to actually seeing it, but they haven’t been shy about the specs or showing it hiding snugly under a fully exposed Sony Xperia Z1. The Oneplus One is said to come with a 13MP camera with a Sony Exmor sensor and housing 6 lenses.

If anything, some people have been more intrigued about how the camera shots would look as opposed to the phone itself. While we’re quite a bit more excited to see the actual device in all its glory, if were to believe these are indeed images taken from the Oneplus One, we’d love to see more as these actually quite nice. We’re not sure we’d consider this one of the best cameras out there just yet, we’d like to compare some samples that we’ve taken ourselves between the Oneplus One and this years other flagships before we pass judgement. There are a few nature pics and what looks like a selfie, and then one other shot of the same person. The potential selfie image looks too good to us to have been taken with the front facing camera so we’d wager the phone was turned around.

While these may likely be the first images we’er seeing from the Oneplus One, they probably won’t be the last. The question is if we’ll see any more pop up before Oneplus has their announcement that’s planned for the end of this month. Oneplus has been very open about their very first device costing under $400, and with all the other specs we know about and these images, would you consider buying one if you were able to your hands on one? If the phone looks as good as these images, sign me up.

Rumor: Sprint And Spotify Working On Potential Deal For Customers

via AndroidHeadlines.com |

Rumors are citing that Sprint could have a deal in the works with the popular streaming music service Spotify. This wouldn’t likely be too different from what Beats and ATT have going, if the partnership between Sprint and Spotify goes through users could benefit in at least a couple different ways. This would likely open up Sprint customers to have the capability to pay for the Spotify monthly service charge, by tacking that amount onto their monthly bill that comes from Sprint. This would ultimately be easier than having to pay for it for as a separate bill entirely and could allow music lovers on Sprint to consolidate their charges together.

Sprint customers could also potentially have the benefit of getting special promotion discount pricing on the Spotify Premium monthly cost, which normally sits at $9.99. We’re not sure if this would benefit Sprint as much as it might benefit Spotify should the deal end up happening. Customers already on Sprint might be more inclined to choose Spotify over a competitor like Google Play Music All Access for instance, but it seems unlikely that a deal between the two companies would see many people leaving their service providers to jump ship to Sprint just to possibly get a deal on streaming music. The word is that Sprint plans to make the announcement about the deal on April 29th, so it won’t be long before we know if this becomes official or not.

Sprint’s new Framily Plan is said to be a focal point of the deal that users could get by choosing to subscribe to Spotify. Basically, users on a Framily Plan will presumably be able to share the usage of Spotify for a set monthly cost, which ultimately would break down to be less than if everyone subscribed to it individually. This is similar to what Beats Music and ATT are doing, where a family plan can share the Beats service-up to five people total- for $15 instead of an individual $9.99 per person. Honestly, that’s a pretty good deal and it starts paying itself off after the second person on the plan, so long as everyone actually has an interest in subscribing to the streaming music service. If you’re a Sprint subscriber, would you sign up for Spotify if this deal comes into play?
