Buy a Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge in a T-Mobile deal to get a Galaxy Grand Prime free

T-Mobile
If you’re looking to switch carriers, T-Mobile is offering a new family plan that might be enticing.

If you sign up for four lines, you’ll get unlimited talk, text, and 6GB of data for $30 each. So you’re paying $120 for four lines with 24GB of data, but the data isn’t shared, so each person gets their own 6GB.

The limited time offer kicks in on May 11, and you’ll be able to add more lines for an additional $20 each. If you happen to buy a Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge for one of the new lines, T-Mobile will throw in a free Galaxy Grand Prime, a year-old budget phone with low specs running an older version of Android — 5.1 Lollipop. The Grand Prime is typically $190 from T-Mobile.

To get the Samsung buy-one-get-one-free deal, you’ll have to add at least one new line and the Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge will have to be enrolled in T-Mobile’s Equipment Installment Plan. The phones have to be purchased within the first 14 days of the promo period. If you meet all of those criteria, then you’ll be awarded with a $190 prepaid MasterCard card to purchase the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime.

In a similar vein, Verizon is offering a deal right now for 20GB shared data on four lines for $80. You’ll need to activate a new phone or get an upgrade for the deal to kick in, though.

And speaking of Samsung smartphones, AT&T is giving away a Samsung Galaxy S6 for free, if you purchase a Galaxy S7. You’ll have to get both on AT&T Next with a minimum service of $70 a month. The downside is that the S6 will also only be free after $585 in 30 monthly bill credits.

The best Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 cases and covers
the best samsung galaxy tab s7 cases feat image

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 -- all 11 inches of it -- is popularly viewed as the iPad Pro of the Android world. It has a slim bezel, supports a stylus that fits nicely into a cutout on the back, and can sport a detachable keyboard cover. As with all tablets, the screen tells the story. With the Tab S7, that story begins with an LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate supported by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor. It even works as a second display for your PC, Apple Sidecar style. Another thing it has in common with an iPad, as well as other tablets, is its need for protection from drops, impact, scratches, dust, moisture, and other environmental hazards that can destroy a tablet's functionality.

Despite its relative newness on the market, we have found an impressive array of cases for the Tab S7 from well-known vendors.

OnePlus 8 Pro vs. OnePlus 7T Pro: Has OnePlus one-upped itself?
OnePlus 8 Pro Back

The OnePlus 8 Pro is here. Announced together with the OnePlus 8 on April 14, it's the natural successor to last October's excellent OnePlus 7T Pro. It boasts a larger 6.78-inch screen, a bigger 4,510mAh battery, and the more powerful Snapdragon 865 processor. It also comes with four rear cameras in comparison to the OnePlus 7T Pro's three, giving photographers a new Color Filter lens in addition to the pre-existing main, ultra-wide, and telephoto lenses.

All of this sounds like OnePlus has gone all-out to make its latest premium model the best smartphone it possibly could be. However, the question remains: How exactly does the OnePlus 8 Pro stack up against the OnePlus 7T Pro? Would the 8 Pro be worth buying if you already have the 7T Pro?

A 5G version of the OnePlus 7T Pro exists, but it’s a limited T-Mobile exclusive
OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition

We assumed we weren't going to see a 5G phone in the new OnePlus 7T lineup. It seems that prediction was premature. T-Mobile and OnePlus announced on Wednesday that a 5G version of the OnePlus 7T Pro McClaren Edition will be coming exclusively to the Un-carrier later this year.

The snappily named OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McClaren Edition will use T-Mobile's 600 MHZ 5G network, which T-Mobile claims is ahead of schedule and well on course to becoming the first company to offer nationwide 5G coverage in the U.S.
