    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.

    The Galaxy S5 Active starred in some videos yet again, and this time we got a look at a new customizable “Active” key that will be present on the device. Android 4.4.3 was spotted on Samsung's website, hinting at an impending release of the point update for the company's devices. The Galaxy K zoom went up for pre-order in the UK, and pricing for the Galaxy Tab S was leaked by an online retailer.

    On the software front, the Galaxy S4 received an update that brought along KNOX 2.0 and Kids Mode, while the T-Mobile variant of the Galaxy S5 got a minor update to fix SMS and MMS issues. We also got a look at how Verizon has ruined the Copper Gold variant of the Galaxy S5 – by adding unnecessary logos that would have been better off in the garbage bin, but hey, this is Verizon we're talking about.

    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):
