Looking for a phone with a large screen? There’s plenty of options out there, but ZTE has proven to be one of the best manufacturers when it comes to offering both great value and hefty display sizes. Their ZMAX was a total hit at under $250, and now the manufacturer aims to take on the USA market with the new ZTE ZMAX 2. Looking at the handset’s exterior we can find a design that is similar to the previous iteration, but does include some very nice aesthetic improvements.

Last week Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) shocked investors with a massive loss. Jeff Bezos’ company ended Q3 2014 with $544 million in the red, a bad loss even for a company that has longed delivered minimal quarterly increases in profits or even small losses.

It has a 5.0-inch 480 x 854 FWVGA display, a 1.1 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 processor with 1.5GB of RAM, as well as 8GB of on-board storage and microSD expansion up to 32GB.

The number three carrier in the States is taking $100 off any 4G LTE enabled tablet for all new customers who choose to buy an on-contract smartphone until January 10.

It’s safe to say that the Google Chromecast has had a huge impact on the way you can stream media to your TV. For as low as $30, you now have the ability to easily cast your content to the larger screen, and control it entirely from you mobile device.

Not only is the photo sharing app getting a redesigned layout, it’s also finally getting a newer, simpler app icon. The differences between the old and new app icons are pretty stark.
