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.

One of the great things about eSIM technology is how easy it is to get a new line up and running on a compatible smartphone. Gone are the days when you needed to find a carrier store or wait for a new physical SIM card to arrive in the mail. Now, you can go through the entire process from the comfort of your own home and be up and running with a new phone plan in under five minutes.

This is especially great when dealing with prepaid carriers, and one such company that’s been leaning heavily into eSIM technology is Visible. It’s embraced eSIM not just to make it easy for folks to sign up, but also to let prospective customers take the service for a spin before committing to it.

Amazon launched a pair of new devices for its Fire Kids range at its fall event, including updated models of the Fire HD 10 Kids and Fire HD 10 Kids Pro. While there's little to write home about in terms of physical updates, these two new tablets have also been released alongside some new apps that make them great options to entertain the whole family, not just children.

The big draws here are the new apps and games on offer. Amazon's big, new drive involves implementing AI into its products, and these two Kids tablets are no exception. The new Music Maker app allows children to become composers by combining a number of different instruments and sound effects into their own composition, while being assisted by the app's AI.

Your $1,000 smartphone is a bad deal. These cheap phones prove it

White Xiaomi POCO F5 and bluish-green OnePlus Nord 3 held in hand in front of a heap of Android smartphones including OnePlus 11 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4.

Samsung is once again here to entice you with its latest crop of foldable phones. The temptation they pose is easy to give into. You might think, what could go wrong with an almighty, well-stocked $1,000 phone?

Worth noticing, however, is the fact that plenty of other smartphones offer a much higher value for your money and can potentially fill your $1,000 purchase with remorse. That's not my intention, especially if you have already preordered the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 or Galaxy Z Flip 5. But if you are looking for potential alternatives that save you lots of money while bringing you features comparable to phones that cost almost $1,000, here we have some examples.
