Subway Surfers now available for Windows Phone 8

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 10:42 AM PST

Subway Surfers for Windows Phone 8 Subway Surfers is an extremely popular endless running game, set in an urban landscape with trains and tunnels and all you have to do is, get away from a security guard and his dog. This game has been in the spotlight for the past two years for its addictive gameplay. It initially debuted on the iPhone and then eventually Android where the popularity exploded. Now this game has finally arrived for the third ecosystem - Windows Phone. The game, usually seen as a must have for some people, was one of the things I personally missed when using Windows Phone. Of course, it was not a deal breaker, because it's just a game, but the lack of it certainly proved costly for the ecosystem, but finally it's here. Without further ado - download it from the link below. Subway Surfers on Windows Phone Store - Only for 1 GB RAM devices, 512 MB support coming soon. Here's the app's description - Presented by Kiloo Games and Sybo Games. DASH as fast as you can! DODGE the oncoming trains!

Google Nexus 5 with Android 4.4.2 – Is the camera better?

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 06:14 AM PST

Very recently, Google had announced the Android 4.4.1 update to fix the Nexus 5's camera. The update was quickly superseded with the 4.4.2 update that brought in more fixes and was directly delivered to all 4.4 users. We had reviewed the Nexus 5 initially, and found it to offer good pictures only in the HDR+ mode and not the normal mode which produced average pictures with warm saturated colours. Google says they have fixed that with the 4.4.2 update, with improved autofocus times and general overall speediness that will hopefully reduce the shot-to-shot time. Well, does it? We find out, in this video below - httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ASwFFKftP8 This is what Google promised with the update - To reiterate again, the main changes here are all about the camera. So, to test this out, we took two Nexus 5s, one with Android 4.4.2 and one without, taking several images and a video to see if the changes are visible enough for us, the end user. Here are all the full resolution camera samples of both the devices - Nexus 5 with Android 4.4.2 [gallery ids="91147,91148,91149,91150,91151,91152,91153,91154,91155" link="file"] Nexus 5 with Android 4.4 [gallery ids="91156,91157,91158,91159,91160,91161,91162,91163,91164" link="file"] Now, lets compare some of them side by side to see how the software alone has ...
