Mobile Roar Podcast 56: Whale of a Phone

This week we discuss Kevin’s Amazon Fire Phone review, but more importantly, is the Fire Phone a “true” Android device? What does a device need in order to feel like a real Android device? We also discuss the rumors of a 5.9-inch Motorola Nexus “Shamu” device. When the codename for a device is a whale you might want to consider making it smaller. Other topics include flammable Samsung devices, things Joe misses from Windows Phone, and much more! Thanks for watching/listening!
