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.

The Honor Magic 6 RSR is my new favorite Android phone of 2024

Someone holding the Honor Magic 6 RSR outside.

There's no doubt that 2024 has already been an exciting year for Android phones. Samsung wowed us with the Galaxy S24 series at the beginning of the year, the OnePlus 12 and 12R are two of the best phones available right now, and Google is expected to impress later this month with the Google Pixel 8a.

But for the last few weeks, I haven't been thinking about any of those phones. Why? Because I've been using the Honor Magic 6 RSR. After launching in China this past March, the Magic 6 RSR is now available in the EU, and that's allowed more folks than ever to get their hands on the phone. And that's great, because the Honor Magic 6 RSR has quickly become my new favorite Android phone of 2024.
