Amazon stays committed to flopping Fire Phone with hefty software update

amazon-fire-phoneAmazon has stated time and time again the first-gen Fire Phone won't be the last of its kind, regardless of catastrophic sales results that can't be rectified. But we figured they'd at least abandon the unwanted, gimmicky 3D handheld, cutting their losses with huge discounts and otherwise not investing any more time and money into the thing.

Boy, were we wrong, as lo and behold, the Fire Phone just snatched a Fire OS 3.6.5…

In mid-December of 2014, a consumer build of Windows 10 known as "9901" was leaked online.

Unlike the other leaks following Microsoft's official Windows 10 announcement, 9901 is an unofficial build. If you want to test it out for yourself right now, you'll have to wade through hundreds of torrent sites and forums to download it. Considering 9901's unofficial and beta status, however, that's not advisable.

What's New in 9901

Still, the build's extra features — as shown in this YouTube video — are worth a second look. There's Cortana, for instance, which Microsoft pitched as a more "personality-infused" version of Apple's Siri.

7-inch smartphones are apparently a thing, BLU Studio 7.0 confirms

BLU Studio 7.0It used to be that everything Samsung touched in the Android landscape turned to gold, but after seeing Galaxy S5's lackluster sales numbers, we're not so convinced anymore. Up-and-coming US-based gadget manufacturer BLU Products still thinks that's the case, so without giving it much thought, they've aped Galaxy Tab Q's publicity pitch for the Studio 7.0.

Granted, Huawei and a slew of lower-profile Chinese OEMs introduced 7-inch "tabphones" with voice call…

Already? Android 5.1 (still Lollipop) rumored for February 2015 launch

Android LollipopThe newest iteration of Android, 5.0 Lollipop, is widely regarded as the sleekest, smoothest take on the Google-conceived mobile OS, and the jump from 4.4 KitKat the biggest transformation in the platform's history.

But the KitKat to Lollipop transition is proving rather tricky for Big G, which needed a little extra time than expected to fully stabilize the OS and send out OTAs…

Sony reiterates 'beginning of 2015′ as Lollipop ETA for 'core Xperia Z3 and Z2 series'

Xperia Z3 Xperia Z2Sony hasn't been quite as vocal in regards to its Android 5.0 upgrading plans as, say, HTC these past few months, but in keeping with tradition, the Japanese company has hinted at equal treatment given to newer and slightly older devices.

Well, maybe not completely equal, but clearly, Sony cares a lot more about…

Beastly Meizu MX4 Pro phone up for grabs now with global shipping

meizu-mx4-proOne of the biggest Android device manufacturer risers out of China, Meizu, recently brought to light the MX4, which sadly fell short of expectations with a somewhat steep price tag. The same could be said about the MX4 Pro, available via OppoMart starting at $549, but this baby packs an incredible punch and may well be worth all the moolah.

A massive 5.5 incher on paper, the elite Android soldier isn't disturbingly large…
