The Galaxy S4 Active is the newest of the two devices, and was announced just a few days ago, and we’re expecting to get a proper hands-on test of the phone at next week’s Samsung event in London. The phone is a variation on the Galaxy S4 flagship, but with the addition of IP67 certification so it can keep out the wet stuff.

It’ll be put up for pre-order on June 14 for $200 with a two-year contract, ready for release on June 21, and buyers will be able to choose between a blue or gray model. For this you get a 5-inch TFT screen with a 1080p resolution, a 1.9GHz quad-core processor, and an 8-megapixel camera with an Aqua Mode for taking pictures underwater.

Android 4.2 is its operating system, and there are various Samsung software features added to the TouchWiz user interface, plus 16GB of internal memory, a 2600mAh battery, Bluetooth 4.0, and a 2-megapixel forward-facing cam. AT&T has confirmed the S4 Active will connect to its 4G LTE network.

In addition to the Galaxy S4 Active, the Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet will be coming to AT&T soon. Announced during Mobile World Congress in February, the Galaxy Note 8.0 has, you’ve guessed it, an 8-inch screen. Its resolution is 1280 x 800 pixels, and the tablet comes equipped with the S Pen stylus, just like the Note 10.1 and the Note 2 smartphone/tablet hybrid. It runs Android 4.1, and is powered by a 1.6GHz quad-core processor, plus there is 16GB of storage space, and a 5-megapixel rear camera.

Again, the Galaxy Note 8.0 will connect to AT&T’s 4G LTE network, but no price or release date has been provided, with the press release saying only it’ll be coming in the next few weeks.

Updated on 06/18/2013 at 05:00 by Andy: If you’ve been waiting to hear how much the Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet will cost through AT&T, we’ve got some good news. It has been priced at $400 with a two-year contract, or if you buy a Galaxy S4, Galaxy S4 Active, or Galaxy Note 2, then a Note 8.0 tablet can be your for $200. It goes on sale June 21.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Series to get One UI 4 Beta for Android 12
T-Mobile 5G test

Samsung has dramatically improved how it delivers software updates over the last few years. It is surely among the fastest phone companies in terms of delivering the latest Android updates, and the immediate availability of Android 12-based One UI 4 affirms that. While the Galaxy S21 series has already received stable One UI 4, Samsung has also opened One UI 4 beta trials for a range of flagship devices, including the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3, and the Galaxy Note 10 and the Galaxy Note 20 series. Now, the company has announced beta tests for another flagship range: The Galaxy S10 series.

The One UI 4 beta trials were announced for the entire Galaxy S10 series — including the Galaxy S10e, the Galaxy S10, the Galaxy S10+, and the Galaxy S10 5G — via a post on Samsung Community. The trials are limited to South Korea at the moment, but we can expect them to open up in other countries in a number of days. If you are in South Korea, you can enroll in the beta trial in the Notices or Announcement sections of the Samsung Members app.

Xiaomi’s Poco M4 Pro lands in India as the Redmi Note 11T at cheaper new price
The Redmi Note 11T smartphone in different color options.

Weeks after Xiaomi launched the Poco M4 Pro 5G in European markets, the company has brought the same device to India -- albeit with a major change in branding. In India, Xiaomi has decided to make it part of Redmi’s affordable lineup and market the phone as the Redmi Note 11T. To make matters even more confusing, Xiaomi sells the same phone as the Redmi Note 11 in China. Apart from the significant rebranding exercise, the Redmi Note 11T happens to be quite a bit cheaper than its European sibling.

The Redmi Note 11T is a fairly large phone with a 6.6-inch FHD+, 90Hz IPS-LCD panel, and a 5,000mAh battery. The phone also supports an adaptive refresh rate wherein the device automatically adjusts the screen refresh rate depending on the type of content being displayed. The Redmi Note 11T is also among the few devices in its price range to offer stereo speakers. It's also IP53 rated for dust and water resistance.

Samsung is apparently gearing up to share its newest smartwatch OS at virtual Mobile World Congress (MWC) next week, and new leaks may have given us a look at the hardware. High-quality renders purport to show off the upcoming Galaxy Watch Active 4, a sleek wearable that's slated to follow up the Galaxy Watch Active 2.

The renders were shared by veteran leaker Steve H.McFly, known as OnLeaks, on Wednesday. When compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy Watch Active 4 has a streamlined look that takes the best parts of the older watch and modernizes them. Samsung is said to be offering the Active 4 in the standard two size options -- 40mm and 44mm. According to the leak, the rounded case is aluminum, and the rubber strap appears to blend into the frame. The buttons are oblong for a different look from the roundish buttons on the Watch Active 2.
