Google has confirmed that the Huawei-made Nexus 6P and LG-made Nexus 5X don't offer support for aptX Bluetooth streaming, a new feature that the company's upcoming mobile OS - Android O - offers. The confirmation came in the form a reply from a Google developer to a question put up by a user on the company's Issue Tracker website. Here's what the developer said: "Unfortunately, aptX and aptX HD are not supported on Nexus 6p and Nexus 5X - only on newer devices."

Amazon Echo Speakers can now control your Fire TV
This is a feature first introduced with the Google Home. Asking Google to stream cat videos on your Chromecast is a pretty nifty feature. Amazon has caught up and will now let you do the same with any Fire TV devices you use to watch movies or stream TV shows. Amazon's Fire TV and TV Stick both have mic buttons that summon Alexa. Though, only these devices let you ask Alexa to open Fire TV apps or control the playback. Thanks to a software update, you'll be able to control your Fire TV the same way you can with the Alexa remote by asking your Alexa speaker to do it. You'll be able to...

We are looking to the fall for Samsung's next major announcement, that of the Galaxy Note 8. But before looking at Samsung's phablet, we are trying to figure out what the latest Samsung leak could be. A Samsung device with the model number "SM-G9600" has been spotted on GeekBench with some intriguing specifications. First off, the device ran Android 7.1.2, which has yet to make it to many devices outside of the Pixel and late-Nexus family of smartphones. Otherwise, the benched smartphone has 4GB of RAM, and runs a CPU: "Qualcomm @ 1.77 GHz. 4 cores". Samsung SM-G9600 with Snapdragon...

Samsung may have just teased the Galaxy Note8 as new report says it will ship in September
Would Samsung resort to teasing the upcoming Galaxy Note8 at this stage in the game? That's the question. Today, the Korean conglomerate's arm in charge of the Exynos chipsets has tweeted out the image you can see below. It's obviously a small commercial for the Exynos 8895 SoC, which powers some versions of the Galaxy S8 and S8+, and is also widely expected to be inside the Note8. But what about that device render? Is it just a generic mockup of a handset that would be at home, design-wise, in Samsung's lineup for 2017? Or is it the first actual official image showing off the looks of the...

The Meizu Pro 7 is one of the most interesting devices of 2017 already, despite it not being official yet. That's due to its quirky second display on the back, which we've already seen in various pictures in the wild. But today we get to see said second screen on video. The 10s clip doesn't reveal anything new about the Meizu Pro 7's party trick, but it's still better than a still image. What we can know so far is that the Meizu Pro 7 will have a 5.2" 1080p display to go with 2.0" screen molded into the back. The Pro 7 will tick along thanks to a Mediatek Helio X30 chipset with...

Vertu forced to close UK manufacturing arm, 200 lose their jobs
Vertu will be forced to liquidate its UK-based manufacturing arm after the luxury phone maker has failed to cover its £128m deficit, of which Vertu owner Murat Hakan Uzan intended to pay £1.9m. The liquidation will result in some 200 people losing their jobs and seems to spell the inevitable doom of Vertu as a whole. Turkish owner Uzan reportedly plans to rescue Vertu, though it seems unlikely that the maker can be successful again using its old strategy of building outdated phones with quality materials such as ostrich leather and jewels. Vertu was founded in 1998 and has...

It's never been an overwhelmingly delightful or agonizingly poor first encounter, but always a pretty daunting one to wrap your head around.

Motorola teases shutter-proof Moto Z2 Force ahead of July 25 event
