Samsung Galaxy Tab hits Sprint in November for $400

By Aemon Malone October 25, 2010

Earlier this month, Verizon became the first wireless provider to announce its intentions to carry Samsung’s iPad competitor, the Galaxy Tab. Sprint confirmed today that it will be joining the party on Nov. 14 – just three days after the Tab’s Verizon debut.

The major difference between the two offerings lies in the paperwork involved. Verizon is selling the Tab with no contract attached. Sprint is going to offer a two-year contract for their Galaxy Tab. Obviously that makes a difference in the initial cost – Verizon’s unsubsidized price is $600 compared to Sprint’s $400. Folks who decide to go with Sprint’s version will have a couple of options when it comes to monthly plans: a 2GB or a 5GB plan for a monthly fee of $29.99 or $59.99 respectively. Both plans include unlimited messaging. If they so choose, Verizon customers can opt for a 1GB data plan for $29.99 a month.

The Android-powered Galaxy Tab features a 7-inch display, a 1GHz processor, and dual cameras. It is expected to eventually make its way to all four major wireless providers in the US.

Samsung just launched a $400 phone in the U.S., and it looks great

A render of the Samsung Galaxy A35.

A little over a month ago, Samsung announced two new entries in its Galaxy A family — the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35. Both phones made their way to the U.K. and Europe, but we've been left waiting for a U.S. release. Thankfully, that waiting has now come to an end.

As of April 18, the Galaxy A35 is now available for purchase in the U.S. from Samsung.com, Samsung's retail stores, and at "major carriers and retailers." Regardless of where you buy the phone, it's available in your choice of two colors: Awesome Navy and Awesome Lilac. The starting price is a penny shy of $400, putting it well below the Galaxy S24 that launched earlier this year. Interestingly, the Galaxy A55 is not coming to the U.S. at this time.

The smart ring market has been dominated by the Oura Ring so far, but that is about to change with the upcoming launch of the Samsung Galaxy Ring. The ring was teased at Samsung's Unpacked event in January and then again at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in February.

The Galaxy Ring is expected to come with various health sensors to help you track your physical fitness and daily activities — all with the backing of Samsung Health. It's one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year, and this is everything we know about it (so far).
