Weekly poll: Best flagship of Spring 2017

Aside from the Xiaomi Mi 6 (which launches next week), all flagships for the first half of 2017 have been announced. Which one has you excited? The Mi 6 is promising Snapdragon 835 on a budget, not to mention dual cameras, plenty of memory and more. It's not clear if there will be a Plus model (the Mi 6 will have a 5.1" screen) or if that will be reserved for the 6s generation. Still, the Samsung Galaxy S8 is the fastest route to S835 (unless you live in the Exynos zone). It stuck to only a single camera, but the Infinity Display is spectacular. And it does have a plus model, which is...

Weekly poll results: XZ Premium's long shadow keeps the Xperia XZs from the spotlight

Let's just say that the Sony Xperia XZs did not ignite people's imaginations. In last week's poll, twice as many voters are waiting for the Xperia XZ Premium than those planning to get the XZs. Worse still, the most popular option proved to be "I'm looking at other brands." Did Sony do enough? The upgrades over the XZ are small and 12% of voters are "fine with the old one" (compare that with 15% voting for "upgrade"). To be fair, Sony is targeting holdouts with Z5 or older flagships, to them the upgrades will be more substantial. But even they will be tempted to wait a few months and...

Amazon planning on launching Fire TV Stick in India

Amazon will be launching the Fire TV Stick in India soon, according to a report by TechPP.

According to the report, the Fire TV Stick is expected to be priced at INR 1999 ($31) for Prime customers. The price for non-Prime customers is said to be INR 3,999. This means it's cheaper to get a Prime membership in India than the price difference between the Prime and non-Prime variants. The Fire TV Stick runs a customized version of Android...
