Sprint announced that the HTC Desire 510, HTC’s first 64-bit smartphone that was announced back on August 27, will be available for purchase this Friday, September 19. You also have the option of buying it from Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile on September 22 and 23, respectively.

The Desire 510’s claim to fame is its quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, which features Qualcomm’s 64-bit technology, running at 1.2GHz. Other than that, we’re looking at a decidedly midrange smartphone with its 1GB of RAM and 4.7-inch 854 x 480 pixel display.

You’ll find 8GB of internal memory, though the MicroSD card slot allows for expandable memory up to 128GB. Don’t expect BoomSound or any depth sensor trickery, as you’ll find a speaker on the back of the Desire 510 and 5-megapixel rear-facing camera. Even so, to complain about these aspects would be missing the point of the Desire 510, which is a cheap phone that offers an impressive processor.

Even more impressive is how much the Desire 510 will cost across Sprint and its two prepaid subsidiaries. Sprint will offer the Desire 510 contract-free for $216 or $0 down and 24 monthly payments of $9 through Sprint Easy Pay. Both Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile, meanwhile, will offer the handset for $100 contract-free.

You can pick up the Google Pixel 7 Pro for only $500 today

If you've been holding out on buying a new phone for a while because prices are still expensive, then you may want to consider going for one of the older flagship phones. For example, while the Pixel 8 Pro is out, the Pixel 7 Pro is still a powerful and viable alternative, and even better, it has quite a few great deals on it. In fact, you can buy a brand new and sealed Pixel 7 Pro from Woot for just $500, rather than the usual $1,100, and that's for the 512GB version of the phone, so you get a lot of storage with it as well.

A new Google Pixel Tablet is coming, but it’s not what you think

It's been almost a year since the Google Pixel Tablet went up for preorder, leading many Android tablet fans to wonder when the inevitable Pixel Tablet 2 will arrive. A new rumor suggests that Google could release a new Pixel Tablet as early as next month, but it's probably not what you were expecting or hoping for.

According to @MysteryLupin on X (formerly Twitter), Google is planning to "relaunch" the Pixel Tablet without the charging/speaker dock included in the box. As you'll likely recall, the speaker dock is the Pixel Tablet's standout feature. You can use the Pixel Tablet on its own as a traditional Android tablet when you want, and when you're done, you throw it on the dock to transform it into a smart display. The idea of Google selling the Pixel Tablet without its claim to fame is an interesting one.
