Taking advantage of the recently approved merger between the two companies, AT&T Wireless has issued an attractive offer to subscribers of DirecTV and AT&T U-verse. If DirecTV subscribers switch their mobile service to AT&T from companies like Verizon and Sprint, new customers will receive a $300 credit on their bill for each line that’s switched over. In addition, customers will receive a $200 credit after purchasing a new smartphone utilizing the AT&T Next plan, basically covering the typical cost of a new smartphone under contract.

Describing the promotion in a statement, AT&T Mobility Chief Marketing Officer David Christopher said “This is a unique offer and unlike anything we’ve ever done – all to celebrate DIRECTV now being part of the AT&T family. This is another way we’re making it better when you choose TV and wireless from AT&T.”

Hypothetically, a family of four would receive $1,200 in bill credit for switching four lines over to AT&T as well as an additional $800 in credit if all members decided to get new smartphones and trade in their old phones. That could be very advantageous for any family that’s looking to save a bit of money on wireless service. The deal isn’t currently limited to a single household and is available to both consumers and business users.

On top of that promotion, AT&T Wireless customers can now combine their DirecTV or AT&T U-verse accounts into a single bill. Linking the accounts onto one bill will add an additional $10 discount each month, a savings of $120 over an entire year. Beyond that, AT&T and DirecTV is also offering an “All in One Plan” that gives consumers “HD and DVR service for four TV receivers, unlimited talk and text for four smartphone lines with 10GB of shareable data” for an introductory price of $200 for the first twelve months.

This upcoming phone could be the best foldable this year

Honor, Google, Xiaomi, and Vivo all launched new folding phones last year that were designed to compete with Samsung and the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Yet, the challenge was not just matching Samsung, but also beating a foldable launched the previous year.

Launching in the US, the OnePlus Open set a standard for the industry that ensured it still ranked highly as one of the best folding phones a year later.

The world’s slimmest foldable phone has leaked, and it looks stunning
Leaked render of Oppo Find N5 in purple.

In roughly two weeks from now, the Oppo Find N5 will appear on stage as the world's thinnest foldable phone. Ahead of the glitzy launch event, the phone has leaked in all its sleek glory. Not that the company hasn't been giving us cheeky glimpses lately, but this is the first time we are seeing it from all angles adorned in different shades.

The leaked renders, which come courtesy of Evan Blass (via Substack), show the Oppo Find N5 in three colors. The first aspect that grabs the attention is its thin cross-section profile, which is reportedly going to measure only 4.2mm, thinner than a pencil and Apple's own record-breaking iPad Pro.

The phone I’m most excited about in 2025 is not an iPhone
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra's camera.

I’m usually pretty excited about every new or upcoming phone release, and although a lot of my time at the moment is spent thinking about the intriguing Apple iPhone 17 Air, and I continue to love my iPhone 16 Pro Max, it's another smartphone that has got me all hot under the collar. It’s the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, the sequel to my favorite camera phone of 2024, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. However, while I’m really keen to see it, I’m also very aware it has a great deal to live up to.
It’s the best of Leica and Xiaomi

Xiaomi has an ongoing partnership with camera maker Leica, and the 14 Ultra truly represents what the two are capable of when working together. I’d already seen how committed Leica was to mobile photography when it worked with Huawei, and I can track back my enjoyment of photography to some of the first Leica and Huawei phones, such as the Huawei P9 and Mate 10 Pro.
