There's a lot of stuff that happens in the tech industry, something that is especially true when it comes to giants like Samsung. If you missed out on some (or all) of what happened in the last 24 hours, well, here's a recap of all the big things that went down.
The Galaxy S5 Prime got rumored again with reports hinting at limited availability, while Samsung decided to take an in-depth look at the Galaxy S5's heart rate sensor. There were also quite a few discounts in effect – Amazon took off up to $100 on Samsung's Galaxy TabPRO and NotePRO tablets, while UK retailers decided to throw in £100 of Google Play credit with the Galaxy TabPRO 8.4. There's no saying if the deals are still active, but hey, no harm done in giving them a try just in case they are, right?
Here's the full rundown:
- • Report: Galaxy S5 Prime to be produced in limited quantities
- • Samsung explains Galaxy S5′s heart rate sensor and S Health app
- • Amazon discounting up to $100 on Samsung’s Galaxy TabPRO and NotePRO tablets
