Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 now available in gold color edition

Samsung has announced a new color for its Galaxy Grand 2 smartphone. Samsung has been offering gold on some of its other phones but the midrange Grand 2 is also getting the Midas touch.

The phone is already available in some Asian markets, including India and Malaysia. The rest of the specifications of the phone remain the same.

Detailed images of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 leak

Here's what the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 may look like. While looking very similar to the front of the current Note 3 the back and sides look new.

The phone appears to retain its previous trend of plastic back with leather-like texture but the sides look similar to the ones on the yet-unannounced Samsung Galaxy Alpha and appear metal.

There's a plastic-like inlay in the side-frame that seems to add more water to the frame being metal rumors. The S Pen holster is etched into the side of the phone and there's a microUSB 3.0 port at the bottom along with a speaker grille.

There's what looks like a hear rate monitor alongside the camera lens on the back. The display of the Galaxy Note 4 should be 5.7" once again but with an improved resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels (QHD).

The retail box of the Galaxy Note 4 has also made an appearance. The design on the front looks similar to the one in the images above adding some more credibility to the leak.

The Galaxy Note 4 will be shown (as is customary with Samsung) this coming September 3 on the IFA floor and should make it to the shelves starting September 15.

Sony rolling out KitKat for Xperia E1 and E1 dual

Sony started delivering KitKat to the Xperia E1 and Xperia E1 Dual. The update is rolling out now though there might be delays varying by market and carrier. Go to Check for updates in the About screen of the settings on your phone to see if you're among the first to get it.

The update boasts performance enhancements that stem from Android 4.4 KitKat. Other than that the changes are similar to what the Xperia T2 Ultra got, including a tweaked status bar and quick toggles. The custom Sony apps like the Walkman music player, Stamina Mode and others have been updated too.

Despite Google's changes to KitKat, Sony has enabled moving apps to the external microSD card in case the 4GB of built-in storage starts to run low.

Another change is the inclusion of PlayStation 4 like boot animation and live wallpaper. You can change up the look with Xperia Themes.

The Xperia M2 and Xperia M2 dual are next in line to receive KitKat.
