While the Amazon Fire TV mobile application is often seen as a backup remote, Amazon revamped the smartphone app to give it more use. Similar to the Fire TV user interface redesign, the mobile version now lets you browse content, manage your watchlist and play titles on your TV. The free smartphone app can act as your second screen to discover what you should watch next or instantly add a friend's recommendation when you're out and about.

OnePlus 16 tipped to get highest smartphone refresh rate

While we just got the OnePlus 15 in October 2025, rumours about its successor, the OnePlus 16, have already surfaced. One of the newer, prominent ones involves its display. The company is supposedly testing a screen with a refresh rate of at least 200Hz for its upcoming flagship. The specific refresh rate wasn't specified, but as GSMArena noted, 240Hz seemed like an obvious choice.

Of course, we ask the usual questions regarding game support and how it'll impact battery life. But since it is still a rumour about a device many months away from potentially launching, we take this OnePlus news with a grain of salt.
