T-Mobile is apparently a huge fan of promotions, seeing how the carrier has offered everything from a free trip to Mars to up to half off the purchase of a Google Pixel. Now, as the holidays quickly approach, T-Mobile is ready for another promotion, this time centered around Samsung’s Galaxy S7.

Starting Friday, November 11, anyone who picks up the Galaxy S7 through T-Mobile’s Equipment Installment Plan can get a second Galaxy S7 for “free.” Through the EIP, customers pay nothing upfront, then must fork over just under $29 a month for 24 months. As with other EIPs, customers can pay the Galaxy S7’s total remaining cost at any time during those two years, but must pay of the phone if they cancel their plans.

There is some fine print to keep in mind, however, with the first point being that the second Galaxy S7 is not free in the sense that you pay nothing. The cost of that second phone is eventually returned through 24 months of bill credits, which is a departure from the prepaid debit card T-Mobile handed out for its previous Galaxy S7 buy one, get one promotion. In other words, you will still need to pay the monthly for that second Galaxy S7, but the amount will be reimbursed.

That second phone must be on a qualifying line, which is why T-Mobile brought up its One package, which includes unlimited talk, text, and 4G LTE data for $70 a month. Customers can combine this promotion with T-Mobile’s Carrier Freedom, which pays up to $650 for every line that switches to T-Mobile. Tthe promotion also encompasses the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, in addition to the Galaxy S7, but not the Galaxy S7 Edge.

If the Galaxy S7 is a phone you had your eyes on for some time, especially if you planned on making the jump to T-Mobile anyway, this promotion seems like a solid one to take advantage of. Just remember that you have until Sunday, November 13, to make the plunge.

I didn’t understand the Galaxy S24. Then I interviewed the person who made it
Head of Samsung Mobile, TM Roh, on stage at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked in January 2024.

If you're using a Samsung phone right now, you have TM Roh to thank for it. He's been the head of Samsung's Mobile division for four years, overseeing some of the company's most successful phone launches. He's navigated the pandemic, an onslaught of high-end Android phones from strong competitors, ever-shifting consumer preferences, and lengthening phone upgrade cycles.

I was offered the rare opportunity to speak with Roh, crucially right before the Galaxy S24 phones were unveiled, and get his first-hand take on how Samsung got to where it is today and what's next for the Galaxy S line.

There’s something Samsung didn’t tell you about the Galaxy S24

“Look, dude, I don’t know how they are going to manage the costs of licensing from AI companies and cloud partnerships, among other associated factors. Nothing comes free.” That’s what a machine learning engineer told me a few days ago when I explained to him how Qualcomm and MediaTek are bringing some neat generative AI tricks to phones.

Well, Samsung has confirmed those fears and quietly dropped the bombshell that at least some of its snazzy AI tricks for the Galaxy S24 series phones will eventually ask you to cough up some cash. That’s going to happen next year, but we don’t know how much you'll have to pay and in what way — at least not right now.
