    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 or so, well, here’s a recap of all the big things that went down.

    Samsung decided to finally make an announcement about when it will make its upcoming AMOLED tablets – the Galaxy Tab S – official. The Galaxy S5 Prime was tipped to arrive in the same colors as the Galaxy S5, and that includes pink. Galaxy Note 4 rumors also returned to the fore – we learned of its supposed model number and that it will have a minimum of 32GB internal storage, just like the Galaxy Note 3.

    Hardware details of the oft-rumored Galaxy S5 Active also managed to show up, revealing a handset mostly similar to the Galaxy S5, except for a lower-end processor. In software related news, we learned that the Samsung Hub app/service could be going away from Samsung phones and tablets, which might please Google as it reduces the redundancy that the Korean manufacturer's services create.

    Here's the full rundown:

    As usual, a lot of devices got firmware updates as well, so here’s a list of all the updates that rolled to Samsung devices yesterday (as always, you can find all the firmware you need in our firmware section):

    Ah, the Galaxy Note 4. It's perhaps the last “true” Note flagship if you ask some of the diehard fans, and for good reason, too. It was the last Note to come with a removable battery or an IR blaster. When the Galaxy Note 5 came along, the Note 4 was also temporarily the last […]
