Back during MWC 2014, Samsung unveiled Galaxy Gifts. Described as a way for Galaxy S5 owners to receive free premium content, the total value of content included in the package was over $500. Whether Galaxy S5 owners appreciated the freebies lends itself to a subjective answer, but even so, they were still freebies. Sony will look to do the same with its own set of freebies destined for Xperia Z1, Z1s, and Z2 owners.

Here is what’s included in the package:

Garmin, Full Suite
Full version of OfficeSuite Pro
50GB of Box storage until the end of time
Three-month subscription to Evernote Premium
Three-month 1TB Bitcasa storage
10 Xperia themes
One-month subscription to Social Live Premium
Three additional games and apps

Sony implied that not all of these services will roll out to Z1 and Z1s owners, though Z2 owners can benefit from all of the offered services. According to Sony, it made sure that “many” of these services would be available for Z1 and Z1s owners. If you own any of the three mentioned Xperia handsets, you have until July 31 to take advantage of the free services, which are available through the Xperia Lounge app. The Social Live Premium offer, specifically, will be available from June 1 – 30.

Save $200 on this Android phone and get free Bose earbuds

Motorola Edge Plus (2023) lying on a bench.

For those who are looking to buy a new Android phone, you may want to go for this offer from Motorola -- the third-generation Motorola Edge Plus for only $600 following a $200 discount on its original price of $800, and it comes with the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II, which are worth $299, for free. That's unbelievable value that will be tough to get from other phone deals, but you'll have to hurry with your purchase if you want to take advantage of this bargain because there's no telling when it ends.

Why you should buy the Motorola Edge Plus (2023)
We reviewed the third-generation Motorola Edge Plus, released just last year, as a worthy competitor to the Google Pixel 7 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S23. The smartphone features a 6.7-inch curved OLED display with Full HD+ resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate, and it's protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus to prevent scratches from daily wear and tear. The Motorola Edge Plus is also pretty fast with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and 8GB of RAM, and while it ships with Android 13, you can upgrade it to the latest Android 14 as soon as you unbox the device.

How one special feature changed my smartphone photos forever

A person holding the OnePlus 12.

I don’t usually mess around with Pro modes in smartphone camera apps much. I’m not a “pro,” so they rarely seem relevant, and the combination of an effective auto mode and a great editing platform usually means I end up with a photo I’m pleased with anyway.

But that all changed when I tried Master Mode on the OnePlus 12. Yes, it’s a Pro mode in disguise, but it has an unusual and quite specific feature set that has helped me create photos I love and furthered my own photographic style far more than most other phones I’ve used recently.
