Can Samsung save BlackBerry?
A recent report claimed BlackBerry will turn to Android to save itself from extinction, and now it seems the Canadian company could be teaming up with Samsung to make that happen. It’s thought the pair are working on a new smartphone powered by Lollipop that will be secured by BlackBerry services.
What’s it like to ride with CarPlay?
CarPlay and Android Auto are Apple and Google’s first attempts to slowly invade the automobile, but finding a car that supports them hasn’t been easy the past year. If you’ve been curious what it’s like to drive around with either system, the folks at Consumer Reports put the two systems head-to-head during a morning drive to get coffee.
Each interface has its promises, but the report also highlights a lot of areas that need to be worked on — like how you can’t change your car’s FM radio while using Apple Maps. Unlike your car system though, CarPlay and Android Auto will probably be upgraded every year, giving you new features each year, just like your smartphone

Sony’s new Xperia Z3+ — an Xperia Z4 for international markets — is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 810 processor, and like many other devices that carry this chip, it has a tendency to overheat.

The Galaxy S6 edge’s curved display makes it one of the fanciest phones on the market, but it gets even better when you make it look like Iron Man by giving it red glass and painting its sides gold.
Unfortunately, Samsung only produced so many of these Iron Man Edition devices, and so those that are available have been fetching silly money at auction. In fact, one of them just sold in China for a whopping 118.6 million won ($91,635).
