You can’t just do something dangerous and insane these days without filming it for posterity. And while action cameras let us relieve these life-highlights over and over, they aren’t all created equal. We decided to see for ourselves which one could handle your extreme adventures best.

Samsung has been quite quick to update a lot of its mobile devices to the latest version of Android. Only recently the KitKat update was rolled out for Galaxy S4 Active. Today the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Android 4.4 update has been released. The company launched this tablet late last year alongside the Galaxy Note 3, which actually became the first Samsung device to receive KitKat a few months back.
Initially the roll out only brings Android 4.4 KitKat for the Wi-Fi only variant, model SM-P600. Though it is only a matter of time before this update goes live across all regions and also includes the 4G LTE enabled versions. Improvements in this update include subtle user interface tweaks, better security and power efficiency as well as a plethora of bug fixes.
Such updates are often rolled out in stages. What this means is that it may not be available across all regions at first. Though gradually over the next few days Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Android 4.4 update will go live across the world. Once it goes live that update should automatically pop up on the tablet itself since its rolled out over the air. Alternatively users can try manually pulling the update through the settings application. A little patience goes a long way though.

If you have been following tech news over the past few months you might have heard about a company called OnePlus. Its a new company started by an ex-Oppo executive that going to launch its very first smartphone on April 23rd. The company has built up a lot of hype for OnePlus One and it appears that Chinese manufacturers are getting ready to rain on its parade. At least two manufacturers have lined up announcements on the very day OnePlus One is due to be launched, while one has an announcement lined up for the day before.
OnePlus has boasted a lot about the potential and power of its first smartphone. We can’t reach a verdict yet because it hasn’t shown off the phone as yet, and there’s no way to determine right now how it really performs. Though on paper it will be able to rival the best of them as it touts a Snapdragon 801 2.5GHz processor with 3GB of RAM and a 13 megapixel rear camera.
China’s Xiaomi is due to announce a new product on April 23rd. Rumor has it that the company may announce its Mi3S flagship though nothing can be said for sure right now. ZTE is also going to launch a new product under its Nubia brand come April 23rd but it isn’t known as yet what it plans to unveil.
Huawei is going to make an announcement on April 22nd. It is going to unveil the Honor X1. Either all three want to steal OnePlus’ thunder or this may be the biggest coincidence we’ve seen so far.

Last month Sony updated the Xperia Z1, Z Ultra and Z1 Compact to Android 4.4 KitKat. The company also confirmed that several other devices will receive the much awaited update in the second quarter of 2014. Q2 has started this month and it ends in June. Back then Sony didn’t give an exact month but now it has. The company has confirmed that Xperia Z, ZL, ZR and the Xperia Tablet Z will all be updated to Android 4.4 KitKat come May 2014.
Product pages for all of these devices have now been updated and they list May 2014 as the timeframe in which users can expect KitKat to drop. So far an exact date hasn’t been provided, but one can expect the update to roll out towards the end of the month. That is just a conservative assumption since an Android update goes through a number of steps before its finally ready to be rolled out.
Users of the aforementioned devices have waited for far too long. Initially it was believed that KitKat will be released for these devices in either February or March. Google released Android 4.4 KitKat late last year but it still yet to make its way to quite a lot of devices. Xperia owners only have to wait for a few weeks now though.
