Deal Alert: $50 Off Sprint Galaxy S4 Upgrades On Amazon ($199.99)

Posted by Bertel King, Jr. in Deals, Galaxy S4, News, Sprint

After a short delay, Sprint is now ushering Samsung's highly anticipated successor to the popular Galaxy S III to store shelves, but how much does it cost? New customers can pick up the Galaxy S4 with a two-year contract for $149, but existing customers looking to upgrade must plop down $249 to bring home the same phone. This isn't the best of news for current Sprint customers, but there is now another option available.

As of today, Amazon is allowing existing Sprint customers to upgrade for $50 less. This brings the price of upgrading an existing contract down to levels resembling the price of starting a contract anew.

Samsung Completely Loses Its Mind With Gangnam Style Parody And Indulgent Design Ads

Posted by Eric Ravenscraft in News, Samsung

We should've seen this coming. Really, Samsung, it's our fault. We should've stopped you when you put on that incredibly sexist Broadway show. We didn't. We argued that it was funny and then even enabled you by saying you have better marketing than HTC. We set you up for this. What could we have expected except a Gangnam Style parody that touts the virtues of the Galaxy S4?

The above video of the song...*sigh*...Samsung Style, was taken at a Galaxy S4 launch party in India. The man you see singing on stage is Ranveer Singh, a Bollywood superstar.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Review: A Midsize Tablet With A Lot To Love, And A Few Things To Hate

Posted by Jeremiah Rice in Galaxy Note 8.0, News, Reviews, Samsung

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is a strange beast. Sitting more or less between the Note II and the Note 10.1, the Note 8.0 feels like a Frankenstein Android device, mixing elements of both smartphones and tablets. Of course, that's kind of the point: in territories where carriers don't have such a stranglehold on the wireless industry, the Note 8.0 is exactly the giant phone that it looks like. Here in the States, we'll have to make due with an 8-inch WiFi tablet - a mid-sized device for the category, with a premium price.

That said, the price may be the only major downside of the Note 8.0 for some very targeted users.

Ah, the HTC One – a phone that needs no introduction. A phone that is well on its way to putting HTC back on the map in a big way.

And now's your chance to win one, courtesy of AT&T.

This contest is now over.

The final results are listed below. If you've won, you will be contacted in the near future.

[Deal Alert] AT&T Galaxy S4 For $168 ($32 off) From Amazon Wireless

Posted by Cameron Summerson in AT&T, Deals, Galaxy S4, News

Didn't pick up AT&T's version of the Galaxy S4 when it hit shelves this weekend? You're a smart one (not to say that those who did pick one up aren't smart, of course), because Amazon Wireless has already knocked the price down to $168. Sure, that's a pretty random amount ($32 off AT&T's price) considering we're used to seeing prices drop in increments of $50, but hey – a deal is a deal, right?

Naturally, you'll have to sign a two-year contractual agreement with AT&T to get the device for that price, but considering you were probably going to do that anyway, it doesn't really make sense to spend more money.

[Deal Alert] Unlocked Galaxy Note II (Anthracite Gray) Back On eBay Daily Deals For Just $499.99 Shipped

Posted by David Ruddock in Deals, Galaxy Note II

After showing up on eBay Daily Deals a week ago and promptly going out of stock, the Galaxy Note II is back in ~~black~~ Anthracite Gray on eBay Daily Deals once again for just $499.99 shipped.

This particular Note II is the international unlocked GSM model, (meaning no LTE) touting quad-band HSPA+ 3G data connectivity. The upshot is that you can take this Note II pretty much anywhere in the world and it'll work - just toss a SIM in and you're good to go. The lowest price we'd seen before this deal popped up last week was $549 back in November last year, and you've got to admit - $500 for a 5.5" display and quad-core processor isn't exactly outrageous.

The T-Mobile Galaxy S4 Is Now Available Online With Free Overnight Shipping

Posted by Bertel King, Jr. in Galaxy S4, News, T-Mobile

T-Mobile may be a little late to the party, but there is plenty of love to go around. T-Mobile customers can now find the Galaxy S4 available from the carrier's website for the expected price of $149 with a two-year contract, in white or black. Overnight shipping is available for those who cannot wait any longer, and since T-Mobile is pushing this as a limited-time offer, you might not want to. Supply is limited, and who knows how long you will have to wait if these things sell out.

Those of you who would rather avoid the monthly $20 loan payment that follows the initial cost can buy the phone all at once for $629.

Samsung Officially Reveals The 7-Inch Galaxy Tab 3 - Budget-Grade Specs In A Giant Smartphone Body

Posted by Jeremiah Rice in Galaxy Tab 3, News, Samsung

Those of you who didn't appreciate the divisive smartphone style of the Galaxy Note 8.0 might want to avert your eyes right about now. The South Korean company pulled the wraps off of the first entry in the fourth generation of its Galaxy Tab series today, and there's no denying that the 7-inch tablet looks like a gigantic smartphone. The Galaxy Tab 3 will be available worldwide in May in a WiFi version with a 3G variant following in June, though specific markets were not mentioned.

The Galaxy Tab 3 continues Samsung's positioning of the 7-inch size as a budget device, with hardware specs that are barely a bump over the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (P3100 model).

[Weekend Poll] Whose Super-Sized Phone (In Theory) Could Sway You From The Next Galaxy Note?

Posted by David Ruddock in Polls

We all know that Samsung's working on a new version of the Galaxy Note smartphone. And we can probably assume it's going to debut later this summer, as it has the last two years. Unlike the last two years, though, it doesn't seem like it will be released to a market free of any real competitors. In any practical sense, the Galaxy Note and Note II went basically unchallenged in the jumbo-phone segment. Sure, there were oddities like the Optimus Vu (aka LG Intuition in the US), but Samsung was so plainly far ahead of everyone else in this part of the market that its Note devices became synonymous with the term 'phablet.' When you see someone with a giant phone, it's a pretty automatic assumption that's a Note or Note II.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Is Incompatible With Original TecTiles - TecTile 2 Coming Soon

Posted by Cody Toombs in Accessories, News

Many things don't work well together: oil and water, drinking and driving, and as it turns out, Samsung's TecTiles and the Galaxy S4. Samsung is acknowledging that the current line of NFC tags cannot be read by its new flagship phone. In fact, even the official TecTile site's Buy Now link is now defunct.

The SGS4 incorporates a Broadcom BCM2079x chip which lacks support for some types of MIFARE tags from NXP Semiconductors, including TecTiles which are built with MIFARE Classic chips. Samsung is planning to launch TecTiles 2 to replace the older stickers. Here is their official statement given to Android Police:
