As Alicia Keys once said: “this phone is on fire!” Okay, maybe those weren’t her exact words, but it fits for this week. Amazon has officially announced the Fire Phone, and we’re not sure if it’s cool or lame. T-Mobile and John “Legend” Legere are shaking up the industry with some new anti-net neutrality features. Samsung totally didn’t just unveil the Galaxy S5 Prime. All that, plus much more. Enjoy!
