Just as you’re about to pre-order that brand spankin’ new Nexus 7, you have to make the decision. Are you going to get the 8GB version for $199 or upgrade to 16GB for $249? Coming from a guy that doesn’t carry a whole hard-drive of music around, the choice was easy. I went straight for the 8GB model and sprung for that sweet dark grey cover.

NVIDIA closes out the month of January by rolling out the 6.3 Experience Update for its Android TV-based Shield TV set-top box. This is a rather major update as it adds some new app support, along with the usual security patches and firmware improvements.

If you own a Nest Cam in your home, you can now use the Shield TV’s support for Google Assistant to simply say, “Show me the front door camera” to begin viewing the live footage from your Nest Cam location.

Apple was one of the first manufacturers to offer a subscription service for phone upgrades, allowing users to get the latest iPhone for one flat monthly fee.  The Samsung Access initiative includes a number of perks aside from being able to upgrade your phone. These perks include Premium Care protection and support, and Microsoft 365 Personal (including 1TB of OneDrive storage and premium Office apps). There are a few caveats though, as you need to return your current device before upgrading.

Offering a host of improvements including 5x faster speeds and lower energy requirements, UFS cards undoubtedly represent the future of removable storage. But what about legacy support, can we expect all future flagships to ditch microSD and move straight to UFS? Thanks to Samsung, you might be able to have your cake, and eat it too. While UFS cards are not compatible with the current microSD card socket, the good news is that Samsung and several partners have developed a new socket design that will be able to accept both UFS and microSD cards, meaning that you’ll be able to use both standards interchangeably if you so wish.
