T-Mobile Galaxy Tab S4 gets Bixby Voice and Call & Message Continuity

-

The Galaxy Tab S4 offered in the US by T-Mobile is finally getting one of the features that were promised at launch, namely Bixby Voice. The software package also introduces Call & Message Continuity support and includes the August 2019 security patch.

Bixby Voice and Call & Message Continuity rolled out on the unlocked Galaxy Tab S4 worldwide in late August along with the July 2019 security patch. T-Mobile's release comes with a newer security patch but the feature list is otherwise the same. The update is identified as baseband version T837TUVU3BSI1 and weighs a little under 700MB.

T-Mobile Galaxy Tab S4 finally getting Bixby Voice

The Galaxy Tab S4 doesn't come with a dedicated Bixby button, and back when the tablet was officially unveiled, Samsung confirmed that it will gain Bixby Voice support along with a future Android Pie release. But Android Pie came and went and the Galaxy S4 did not receive Bixby Voice. This wasn't entirely surprising given how even the newer Galaxy Tab S5e shipped with Android Pie, yet it still lacked Bixby Voice support at launch.

Things changed for the unlocked Galaxy Tab S4 a couple of months ago, and T-Mobile US is now catching up with the rest of the world. A later release is better than no release, and besides, T-Mobile has included the more recent Android security patch along with the new features.

Eligible Galaxy Tab S4 owners in the US should be getting an update notification at any moment. If you haven't been lucky enough to get the notification yet, you can trigger the update manually by opening the Settings app, navigating to Software update and tapping Download and install.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

DJI Mavic Air: could this be the definitive drone?

DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK). The red model reminds me of a Porsche. / © AndroidPIT Design and build quality In essence, it is th
