Some of the world’s biggest publications including the Wall Street Journal and Forbes are running a story about how Google is no longer fixing security bugs in older versions of Android. The prize for the most sensationalist headline probably goes to Forbes for “Google Under Fire For Quietly Killing Critical Android Security Updates For Nearly One Billion.” A headline about critical security updates that aren’t going to be available for nearly one billion devices is enough to worry even the most non-technical of people.

Samsung’s laptops and tablets will in the future house OLED displays instead of LCDs, according to a report from Korean site ETnews. This follows a current trend in the consumer tech industry where a number of manufacturers are turning to OLED technology for smartphones, tablets, and laptops. OLED displays became less costly to produce than LCDs for the first time last year, and coupled with the increased contrast they provide and (marginally) superior efficiency, the demand for them is expected to continue to grow over the next few years.

Today’s smartphones typically pack internal storage that ranges anywhere from as little as 4GB on the low-end to as much as 128GB on the highest end of the spectrum. For many folks, 32 to 128GB is probably more than enough for your apps, movies, music and pics. This is especially true for those of us that have learned to lean on cloud storage. But what if you need as much space as you can possibly get?

Back in June we first reported on T-Mobile’s new Music Freedom program, a perk for T-Mobile customers that makes music streaming from select apps exempt from using data. Originally this included support for iHeartRadio, iTunes Radio, Slacker, Spotify and Samsung Milk. Since then, T-Mobile has received some negative attention around its Music Freedom initiative, due to potential net neutrality concerns. For its part, T-Mobile says they do not receive any financial incentive from any of these apps and services and is doing this solely for customer benefit.

If, like me, you love to see what makes things tick, then there’s nothing like a good teardown to peel back the mask from the latest and greatest pieces of technology. The folks over at Chipworks have taken apart the new Samsung Galaxy S5, and have compiled a list of virtually everything inside Samsung’s latest flagship handset. The smartphone was originally sourced from South Korea, the only region where the handset is available right now, so the teardown applies to the SM-G900S model.

An FCC filing for the SCH-I545, which is most likely the model number for Verizon’s Galaxy S4 considering that SCH-I535 is the model number for Verizon’s current Galaxy S3, says the device will support the 700MHz LTE band (Band 13) right alongside Verizon’s 1700MHz AWS frequencies (Band 4). Just like Sprint’s Galaxy S4, which has also been seen at the FCC, Verizon’s Galaxy S4 will come with global roaming features – in addition to CDMA and LTE, we’re also looking at GSM and WCDMA support (850MHz and 1900MHz bands).

Update (04/25): Hide your eyes, notch haters. ZTE’s dual-notched phone concept is creeping closer to reality. According to the filing date on a newly-uncovered design patent, ZTE has apparently been mulling a full-screen device with both a top and bottom notch since September last year. The patent has now been published by China’s SIPO where it was spotted by Mobielkopen. As you might have noticed from the images, however, the design patent differs slightly from the Iceberg concept.

Aereo has received quite of attention thanks to its subscription-based model that essentially brings its users over-the-air-TV directly to the web, alongside added DVR functionality. Not all of the attention has been the good kind, though. As we speak Aereois caught up in a legal battle to determine whether or not the service is actually legal, but Aereo isn’t letting that slow them down. Today Aereo announced that it will be updating its Android app come May 29th, bringing Chromecast support to the mix!

According to a new report from The Information, the progress surrounding Apple’s own in-house 5G modem for upcoming iPhones is further behind than originally anticipated. In the new report, The Information’s sources suggest that the iPhone 5G modem made by Apple might not be done before 2025 — a far cry from the original rumor of 2021. This slow progress was likely a major factor in Apple’s recent decision to cease all litigation against Qualcomm and sign a six-years-long deal with the company to use its modems in future iPhones.
