Review: Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

2014 Gift Guide: Health and Wellness

Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play edition gets Android Lollipop update

Google is rolling out Android Lollipop to the Google Play edition of Samsung Galaxy S4. It’s joining the list of OTA updates for GPe devices that include the Motorola Moto G, HTC One M7, and HTC One M8. However, unlike the other GPe devices, the S4 is getting the Android 5.0 update instead of the Android 5.0.1. Keep your eyes peeled for the OTA to come your way. But if you use a standard Galaxy device, you will have to wait a bit more.
