SunPower, the second largest U.S. solar equipment manufacturer, is expected to publish Q4 2015 results on February 17. We expect the company’s earnings to be largely driven by its distributed solar business, as the utility-scale business continues to transition in line with its holdco & yieldco strategy. Below is a quick review of what to expect and what we will be watching when SunPower publishes earnings Wednesday.

Honor made a last minute swipe at CES and blew us away with what its 200 dollar phone could offer: a metal body, a large 3000mAh battery, quick fingerprint unlock, and a 5.5″ 1080p screen. Honor is also entering the US market with the launch of the Honor 5X, selling it as an unlocked and dual-SIM smartphone.

The Big Four US carriers are in a constant war of trying to outdo each other. While Sprint and T-Mobile may be the most aggressive in their offers, the other two have also responded with their own deals. Verizon is offering a new promo today with its two largest plans, the XL and XXL plans.
New or existing Verizon customers can score an extra 2GB of data every month when they activate or upgrade to a new phone on a Verizon XL or XXL plan. That means that customers can get an extra 24GB of data per year, and the deal stays for life if you keep a phone active on the XL or XXL plan.
Additionally, the data is shareable and up to four lines can take advantage of the deal. That means that you’ll get an extra 8GB of data each month with four lines, leading to 96GB of free data each year.
It should be noted that the free data offer extends only to smartphones, as tablets and other connected devices are not eligible to receive the free data. They can still use the extra data in the allotment, but they won’t add to it.
This is a decent deal from Big Red, although it’s a bit impractical for anyone other than families and power users. Check out the source link for more details from the carrier itself.

Si bien las malas lenguas hablan sobre la falta de actualizaciones y soporte por parte de las distintas firmas minoritarias o asiáticas respecto sus terminales, lo cierto es que las grandes corporaciones tampoco se salvan. El ejemplo más claro, Samsung, a quienes recientemente les han demandado por ese motivo.
Hoy pero, la noticia trata sobre Sony y sus últimos “topes de gama”, al menos, hasta que se presente un posible Z6 en el Mobile World Congress. Estamos hablando de los Sony’s Xperia Z5, la tablet Z4 y el Z3+, de los cuales ya conocemos la fecha para su actualización a la última versión de Android conocida: Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Tras la noticia de Marshmallow para el Honor 7, esta vez le toca a Sony avanzar en las actualizaciones para su más preciados dispositivos, y Twitter vuelve a ser el medio para anunciarlo. Esta vez, ha sido la cuenta de Twitter de Sony Xperia de Gran Bretaña quien se ha pronunciado respecto la actualización tras ser citados en un tuit de un usuario del Z3+:
@FalseNugget it's set to roll out from March 7th for Xperia Z5 series, Z4 Tablet and Z3+ – we will share confirmed timings when its ready

Aunque la pregunta solo iba dirigida en torno al Z3, Sony ha respondido para su último buque insignia, el Z5 y sus hermanos, además de su más reciente y quizá última tablet de Sony, la Xperia Z4. Sony por lo tanto, ha fichado la fecha para la actualización a Android 6.0 Marshmallow el 7 de marzo de 2016.
Aún así, se trata de una fecha estimada, es decir, podría ocurrir (o no) algún que otro problema y retrasarse. Sony solo informa de que se calcula que ese día esas actualizaciones ya estarán disponibles vía OTA, posiblemente. Cabe recordar que el Xperia Z5 salió al mercado en octubre de 2015, a un precio de unos 700 euros.
De todas formas, hay que ver la parte positiva, Sony no se olvida de alguno de sus anteriores dispositivos, como el Z3+, y tampoco abandona su Xperia Z4 tablet, a pesar de los rumores de que vaya a ser la última de todas. Esperemos que realmente se cumpla la fecha y que por los inicios de marzo la más reciente gama Xperia Z esté actualizada a Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL is available with Android Lollipop and Windows 10. The model running on Microsoft’s latest OS was introduced in January and Alcatel promised there are more to come. In fact Steve Cistulli – the senior vice president of the North America region for Alcatel – spilled the beans on an upcoming ‘superphone’ later in 2016.
Today WMPowerUser got some exciting information on this particular ‘superphone’. According to their source, the Windows 10 flagship will be called the Idol Pro 4. Some of the touted specs include a 1080p display, the latest Snapdragon 820 chipset, and Continuum support.
The Alcatel OneTouch Idol Pro 4 should be launched on T-Mobile US, just like it happened with the Fierce XL mid-ranger.
The Idol Pro 4 is rumored to be under development, so there is a chance some of these specs go through some changes in the future.
Android Marshmallow-based Alcatel Idol 4 has been in the rumorland for some time now, and we suspect its Pro model, if real, may be released running on Android as…
