If you’re switching to Verizon and still on contract, you’d better have some cash

Making the switch from one carrier to another used to be a money-laden affair, but U.S. carriers have done a better job of minimizing the blow by offering financial incentives to make the switch. However, don’t count Verizon as such a carrier, reports FierceWireless.

Apple Offer: Trade up to a new iPhone for as low as $10 a month

Confirmed by a Verizon spokesperson, Big Red will no longer pay up to $650 in early termination fees (ETFs). The now-defunct promotion, which Verizon launched last December, gave customers up to $300 in credit when trading in their smartphones, as well as up to $350 for the ETF you might need to pay your current carrier. If you weren’t on a two-year contract and instead were on a device payment plan, Verizon would pay up to $650 toward your remaining balance.

Considering how big of a promotion Verizon made its ETF payment out to be, this is an interesting step for Big Red to take. Verizon could very well bring the promotion back to life sometime in the near future, though we will note that T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T still offer their own ETF promotions to would-be customers on other carriers.

For the time being, however, customers will have to be satisfied with up to $300 in credit for those who trade in their current smartphones and decide to buy and activate a new line of service with Verizon. In addition, Big Red will hand out 2GB of free data to its customers who use Android Pay, Google’s mobile payment service in the same vein as Apple Pay. More specifically, 1GB of free data will be added to the next two billing cycles if you use Android Pay twice, with an additional gigabyte of data for those who use the service a third time. The latter promotion expires on June 14, with customers having until July 13 to use the extra data.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7: the upgrade we’ve been waiting for?
Thre Flip 7 models next to each other

I never really thought that I'd want to go down the route of owning a flip phone, ever since I swore off my Nokia in the early 2000s (you know, the one with the weird felt covering and tiny notification window).

Fast forward two decades, and I'm considering rejoining the race, thanks to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7. Coming in at $1,100, it's not cheap, but it's definitely something different compared to the world of black rectangles, and it it feels like Samsung’s Flip family has finally come of age.

I used the Galaxy Z Fold 7, here’s why I’m completely smitten
The back of the Galaxy Z Fold 7

We’ve waited several years for Samsung to join the party, but it’s finally here: Samsung has followed rivals like Oppo, OnePlus, and Honor in building a thinner, lighter, and sleeker Galaxy Z Fold 7. It’s an impressive feat of engineering and a major upgrade over previous years.

It’s easy to consider the Fold 7 nothing more than an update to the Galaxy Z Fold 6, but in many ways, it feels like a huge step forward, not just for Samsung but for all folding phones. I spent a few hours with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in an exclusive preview, and here’s why I absolutely love what Samsung has done this year.

I tried the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 series – they’re sleek, but with a lot to prove
Watch 8 on a wrist

Trying out the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic is a tough gig - not in terms of it being a hardship to try out two high-end models, but that it's impossible to assess them with only 30 minutes’ use.

I can easily talk about the improved design and the fit of the straps etc, but the real changes are within the health ecosystem, and they'll need sustained testing to really understand if they're any good.
