Amazon resumes BLU phone sales after brief suspension

Last week, Amazon suspended sales of BLU smartphones citing security reasons. The step came in the wake of reports that the devices still collect unauthorized personal data, and send it to a server based in China. Well, looks like the matter has been sorted out, as the online retailer has resumed the sales. Hey BLU fans! After a false alarm, BLU devices are now back up for sale on Amazon. http://ift.tt/2wlObtq #BoldLikeUs #Amazon— BLU Products (@BLU_Products) August 4, 2017 For the uninitiated, the Adups OTA application (a 3rd party firmware update app) is the software...

House of Marley Smile Jamaica Wireless Review

Good sounding inexpensive earphones are rare. Good sound inexpensive wireless earphones are practically nonexistent. So when we tried the Smile Jamaica Wireless from House of Marley and found it to be a great combination of price and performance, we had to do a full review. The Smile Jamaica Wireless are a wireless version of the Smile Jamaica wired earphones. The wireless model has a neckband design that dangles from your neck. Between the complexity of fully wireless earphones, such as the AirPods, and something with longer cables, the neckband style is a good compromise and slowly...

Week 31 in review: Galaxy Note8, V30 and Nokia 8 lead the rumor train

We're back in the rumors lane, where the most interesting to do is speculate on the flagships of the Fall. It's not long left now until they start coming in, so naturally rumors are going wild. The only change of pace was when Motorola announced the Moto G5S and Moto G5S Plus mid-rangers with new improved cameras. The Samsung Galaxy Note8 dominated the headlines thanks to leaked official renders and a so-called official specs sheet. We also heard that it's coming with a 3x zoom camera. The Nokia 8 was once again in the news as was the LG V30 which will have a curvy front glass and an...

Weekly poll: which screen type do you prefer, LCD or AMOLED?

The answer to "what phone should I buy" usually starts with questions about screen size and budget. It's the first thing would be buyers should decide. The more selective among users then proceed to ask about the quality of that screen - resolution and panel type. Today we want to focus on the latter - LCD or AMOLED? The battle seems to be over as Samsung has been pushing AMOLED for years, Nexus/Pixel have been on and off and on again, LG is jumping ship, even Apple is on board. Is that the end of LCD? Unlikely, there are some high quality panels (like the ones used on iPhones) that are...

Counterclockwise: the megapixel race of cameraphones

We've traced the rise of the cameraphone before, but since we're in a lull in the megapixel race, we wanted to look back and check the milestones reached along the way to the Nokia 808 PureView - the 41MP monster that (five years later) is still the phone with the highest resolution camera (and only matched by Lumia 1020 since). The Audiovox PM8920 may have been the first to cross the 1MP line with its 1.3MP camera in 2004. Niche brands aside, Motorola brought out the 1000 series phones that same year - the touch-focused A1000, the E1000 bar and V1000 flip. The Windows-powered MPx220 also...
