During Amazon’s introduction of its Fire Phone, the company highlighted several camera-centric features of the handset.

The Fire Phone includes a 13-megapixel camera with a f/2.0 five-element lens. The camera will be equipped with optical image stabilization, with the phone itself having a camera shutter button on the side. Most interestingly, however, is how your photos will be stored.

While you can choose to have your photos saved locally, if you want your photos to be accessible in the cloud, Amazon will throw free unlimited photo storage through the company’s Cloud Drive service. Normally, Amazon throws 5GB of Cloud Drive storage to everyone for free, regardless of whether they are a Prime subscriber or not.

Steve Jobs was wrong. Having a stylus for your phone is great

Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 with stylus popped out.

Back in the day, before the iPhone, there were a plethora of personal digital assistant (PDA) devices that had styluses. Whenever you pulled out that stylus from your Palm or other PDA, you may have felt cool, and people would think, “Wow, that guy means serious business.”

But when Steve Jobs took the stage for the original iPhone reveal back in 2007, one of the things he said was, “Who wants a stylus? You have to get ‘em, put ‘em away, you lose ‘em.” Ever since the iPhone introduced smart multitouch displays that needed only your finger, pretty much every other smartphone company followed suit.

Who needs the Pixel Tablet? Amazon’s new Fire Max 11 looks great

Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet laying on a desk.

Amazon just announced a new tablet — and it's probably not what you were expecting. Amazon's latest foray into the Android tablet world is the Fire Max 11, and it aims to be far more premium and powerful than any of the company's previous offerings.

The announcement also comes at an interesting time. Google just opened preorders for the Pixel Tablet, the OnePlus Pad recently debuted to fairly good reviews, and rumors of new Samsung tablets are quickly picking up. But even with so much going on in the tablet space, the Fire Max 11 looks like it could make a compelling argument for itself.

Amazon is having a fire sale (pun intended) on Fire tablets — from $60

Amazon's Fire tablets are affordable alternatives to Apple's best iPads, and they're now even cheaper because the retailer launched a fire sale (pun intended) involving various models of the mobile device. These are some of the lowest-priced tablet deals that you can shop right now, and it's highly recommended that you jump straight to checkout because -- as with all Amazon Fire Tablet deals -- we're not sure when their prices will return to normal.
