T-Mobile is again focusing its marketing energy on verbally tearing down Verizon’s 5G network. In an advertising campaign launched Wednesday, T-Mobile is calling its rival carrier “Verwhyzon” and asking why Verizon’s 5G is only available in limited areas. “In the 5G era, they’re losing their network crown,” T-Mobile CTO Neville Ray said in a blog …

The LG V60 ThinQ 5G (pronounced “thin-queue”) is a premium phone that’s poised to compete with the Samsung Galaxy S20. Similar to the LG V50 ThinQ and the G8X ThinQ from last year, the V60 works with a Dual Screen case that essentially adds a second display to the phone. LG hasn’t announced availability dates and prices yet, but the …

Repeat after me: “I will not buy a new phone on launch day.” Because, seriously, just wait awhile and you’ll be able to buy it for less — maybe significantly less. Case in point: Daily Steals is once again offering major savings on the Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus, both of which debuted about a year ago. First up: …

I began this ongoing review of the Galaxy S20 Ultra knowing that Samsung’s redesigned camera system and its massive 5,000-mAh battery would make or break the phone.

Last week, Samsung unveiled these new flagships along with its new foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Flip, which will compete directly with the new Motorola Razr. While the Z Flip …

Sprint and T-Mobile said Thursday they’ve reached an agreement on new terms for their megamerger. This should pave the way for the companies to complete the $26.5 billion deal, following a ruling last week by a federal court that rejected claims that the merger would be bad for consumers.  The companies say the deal could close as early as April 1. …

Verizon on Thursday is playing defense against a report that it was no longer interested in carrying Google’s Pixel line of phones, including the upcoming rumored Pixel 4A and Pixel 5 that are expected to be released this year.  “It’s not true,” Verizon spokeswoman Adria Tomaszewski told CNET. “We continue to work with Google and look forward to the new …

Verizon has put an “indefinite hold” on plans to sell Google’s Pixel phones, Android Police reported late Wednesday citing an unidentified source described as familiar with the company’s plans. No specific reason was cited, but poor sales could have motivated the change. Verizon on Thursday morning pushed back against the report, with a spokeswoman saying the mobile carrier will continue to …

Lately it’s all been about Samsung: The new Galaxy S20 and Z Flip, price cuts on the Galaxy S10, great deals on the Galaxy S9. But if you favor the iPhone, and you’ve been wringing every last ounce out of your old model, this might be the dirt-cheap upgrade you’ve been looking for. For a limited time, and while supplies …
