As we approach the end of 2014, it seems that Cricket Wireless, AT&T’s no-contract subsidiary carrier, wants to end the year with a bang. As such, starting this Friday, several of its Android smartphones will go on sale through January 8.

Here is a list of which phones will get a discount, starting on November 14 and where you can buy them:

HTC Desire 510 (LTE) – Free after $75 main-in rebate at Cricket and GameStop stores
Motorola Moto G (LTE) – $25 after $75 mail-in rebate at Cricket stores
ZTE Sonata 4G (4G) – $40 at Cricket and GameStop stores
Motorola Moto E (4G) – $50 at select Walmart stores
LG Optimus L70 (4G) – $60 at Cricket stores
Samsung Galaxy Express (LTE) – $100 at select Walmart stores
ZTE Grand X (4G) – $100 after $50 mail-in rebate at Cricket stores

There is a catch to some of the deals, though. In order to get the mail-in rebate, you’ll need to pay for two months of service. Still, these aren’t terrible choices if you’re a first-time smartphone buyer or you just want to get a smartphone for one of your older family members.

Cricket’s plans with data included start at just $40 a month and top out at $60 a month. You can check out all the smartphone deals on Cricket’s website.

Android 15 might add a new way to charge your gadgets

Wireless charging has been a fringe feature for over a decade, despite Apple's push into the ecosystem with the iPhone X and its later adoption of MagSafe. It has been limited to flagship phones, save for a few exceptions, mostly due to the painfully slow charging speeds. But with Android 15, Google now seems to offer phone makers additional reasons to adopt wireless charging even without dedicated hardware.

Instead of relying on a dedicated charging coil, Android 15 could enable wireless charging on phones with Near Field Communications (or NFC) tech. Android Authority dug up instances from the source code of Android 15's first user beta, which arrived last week, that suggests the implementation.

Android 15 release date: When will my phone get the update?

Google has announced Android 15, the next major evolution of its mobile operating system. As usual, the development and release cycle will follow a three-phase strategy. February 16, 2024, marked the start of the first phase, which squarely targets developers and phone makers to provide them with a look at the changes so that they can get familiar with the new software.

The first build of Android 15 is the Developer Preview phase, and a Beta release follows it. This release can be downloaded over the air without any special tactics. Once the beta testing phase is over, the final stable version is released. This usually happens toward the end of the year.

How to use iMessage on an Android phone or tablet

iMessage on an iPhone 14 Pro Max, plus iMessage on an Android phone using the Beeper app.

One of the big draws of iPhone and Mac is the iMessage software. This texting app makes it easy to stay connected to friends and family, and many users point to it as a key reason they stay within the Apple ecosystem – venture off to Android, and you'll be stuck with third-party apps or standard text chats.

However, that's not actually the case anymore. While Apple's iMessage software is exclusive to iOS and you won't find it in the Google Play Store, a new app called Beeper lets you access the iMessage platform. The universal chat app works with a variety of texting software beyond iMessage, making it a one-stop-shop for all your communication needs.
