T-Mobile offers up a free tablet, discounts on phones and accessories for Valentine’s Day

Add as a preferred source on Google

If you’re looking for a gift other than a teddy bear and chocolates for Valentine’s Day, than look no further than T-Mobile. The un-carrier brought back the Tablet on Us promo and has discounted various Android phones and accessories for a limited time.

Buying a tablet with 4G LTE connectivity can be very expensive, but T-Mobile has you covered with the chance to get the Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 7 for free. This tablet normally goes for $168, but the $7 monthly payment for 24 months gets waived as long as you sign up for a 1GB postpaid Simple Choice mobile Internet plan or higher. Payments will appear on your bill each month, but will be credited as long as you maintain the plan. All you will have to cover is the sales tax.

The Pixi 7 is a mid-range Android tablet with specs that won’t wow you, but it’s a good starter tablet. It has a 7-inch display with a rather low resolution of 960 x 540, and it sports a MediaTek quad-core processor. T-Mobile doesn’t specify the internal storage, but we believe it’s only 4GB. The good news, however, is that you can easily add up to 32GB of extra storage with a MicroSD card.

T-Mobile doesn’t say when this deal will end, but we presume it could extend just to Valentine’s Day.

If the Pixi 7 isn’t your thing, you can get a $50 discount off of the iPad Air 2 using promo code SWEETDEAL50. This brings the pricing down to $580 (16GB), $680 (64GB), and $780 (128GB) after discounts. This deal ends February 11.

If it’s a phone you’re looking for. The Un-carrier is offering $40 discounts off of the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime, Galaxy Grand Prime, and LG G Stylo using the same SWEETDEAL50 code as the iPad Air 2 offer. The pricing after discounts for these is $100, $150, and $215, respectively. You have until February 11 for this deal as well.

If both you and your sweetie need a phone, you can opt to buy two phones and get the second at one-half off. You have your choice of either the LG G4 or V10, as well as the Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge Plus, and Note 5. We’re not sure when this deal ends, but it makes sense to get on it sooner rather than later.

Last but not least, if your sweetie already has a phone and a tablet, T-Mobile has a few discounts on accessories. Right now you can use promo code BEATS20 to get 20 percent off of Beats headsets. You can also use PURE30 for to get 30 percent off of the PureGear lightning cable and 12W wall charger. Finally, you can get $10 off of the LG Tone Pro 760 stereo Bluetooth headset and Sunpack Bluetooth selfie wand using code BLUE10 and SELFIE, respectively.

From lecture notes to design projects, I picked the right iPads that belong in your bag
Stop taking lecture notes on your phone and get one of these iPad and Pencil combos

A semester’s worth of notebooks, printouts, and loose assignment sheets can turn your backpack into hefty luggage. This is where the iPad steps in, not by making your reading list shorter, but by making your academics less cluttered. Add an Apple Pencil, and the same tablet can handle handwritten lecture notes.

It's not all work and no play, as the iPad can double as a handheld gaming console or streaming device. But at the end of the day, the real question is, "Which one is right for you?" With the various models under its belt, Apple has an iPad for everyone. It currently sells four very different iPads and two relevant Pencil models, with compatibility changing depending on the tablet.

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Motorola has revealed the Moto Pad 70, a new mid-range Android tablet with a large display, stylus support, 5G connectivity, and a sizeable battery.

The tablet will launch in India on August 8 through Flipkart. Its 12.1-inch 2.5K display, included Moto Pen, 10,200mAh battery, and 68W charging give it several features that could appeal to people considering Apple’s base iPad. However, the mid-range Dimensity 6400 processor means it is unlikely to match the iPad in raw performance.
