Sprint Announces The Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport, Just The GS5 Active By A Different Name

Sprint Announces The Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport, Just The GS5 Active By A Different Name

Ryan Whitwam Ryan Whitwam

If you want an Galaxy S5 Active, your only choice is AT&T. Meanwhile, the newly announced Galaxy S5 Sport is a Sprint exclusive. Of course, these are pretty much the same phone with tiny aesthetic differences. Sprint is really pushing the fitness angle, though.

The GS5 Sport has the same trio of physical buttons on the front as the Active, and the specs are the same. You can get the gist simply by reading up on the Active, and pretending it says "Sport."

Forbes: Google Prepping 'Google Fit' To Collect And Manage Fitness/Health Data

Liam Spradlin Liam Spradlin

According to a new exclusive from Forbes, Google is working on preparing a service called Google Fit. Forbes says the service will aggregate and manage health and fitness data collected from sources like wearables and fitness trackers, and it will offer new APIs to developers for integration with the service.

According to Forbes, it's unclear whether Google's HealthKit competitor will debut with the next version of Android, but evidently the company is set to unveil the service, along with new partnerships with wearable manufacturers, at this year's I/O conference (which for those keeping count is just under two weeks away).

Zombies, Run! Gets A Bright Red Holo Makeover For Big 3.0 Update And A New Season With Over 60 Missions

Bertel King, Jr. Bertel King, Jr.

The premise behind Zombies, Run! is pretty simple - there are some zombies, and you're probably not going to want them to catch you. Fire up the app, stick some earbuds into your ear, and run. No, run! You typically don't spend too much time looking at your phone while using this app, but (wait, why did you stop moving, run!) the new update to version 3.0 will make sure the app looks holorific the next time you do.

Runtastic 5.0 Strides In With Streamlined Interface, New Hydration Suggestions, Purchasable Training Plans, And More

Bertel King, Jr. Bertel King, Jr.

Back in the day, people used to go on runs with nothing but a loose pair of shorts and whichever shoes were comfy. Now such an idea feels downright preposterous without earbuds, music, podcasts, a fitness band, or an activity tracking app. Runtastic's offering is one of the first that comes to mind, and today it's getting bumped up to version 5.0. Runners, here's the promotional video.

Latest Fitbit Android App Update Extends Support To The Moto G And Various Xperia Z Devices

Latest Fitbit Android App Update Extends Support To The Moto G And Various Xperia Z Devices

Bertel King, Jr. Bertel King, Jr.

Fitbit's Android app is useless without a matching fitness device to pair it with, but buying one without having a phone that supports it means having to rely on your computer for synching. That's less than desirable, so it's a good thing that the company is steadily working to expand the number of Android phones its products will support. Following the latest update to the Fitbit app, Moto G owners can now sync their handset up to a Fitbit accessory.
