HTC kicks off weekly 'Free Fone Fridays' with flagship One M9 giveaway

Add as a preferred source on Google

Looking for a new phone? You might be able to get one for free — HTC announced it will give away one new free phone at the end of each week by holding a giveaway on a weekly basis until December 30.

That’s right — one free phone per week. The best thing about it? It is pretty darn easy to enter — all you have to do is give a few key details on HTC’s submission form. The information you need to hand over is pretty standard — like where you want the phone sent should you win it, your name, and so on.

The first giveaway begins Friday and the prize is the HTC One M9, which is the company’s 2015 flagship device. While it is a year old, it is still a pretty nice phone, especially for someone who does not necessarily need a top-of-the-line device. The device features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.

There is definitely no guarantee HTC will offer anything as recent as this year’s flagship, the HTC 10. However, if we had to bet, we would assume that at some point the HTC 10 will show up. The competition will start every Friday and HTC says the winners will be announced on Facebook and Twitter — so if you enter, you may want to keep an eye on the company’s social channels to find out if you won.

HTC is also giving us a bit of a look at this year’s Black Friday deals. As part of the deals, the company will have a number of discounts on phones and accessories for those phones, all available through the HTC online store.

Vivo X300 FE review: The compact flagship I didn’t expect to like this much
The Vivo X300 FE is the Hawkeye of flagships. It doesn't have superpowers, but somehow gets the job done better than everyone else.
Vivo X300 FE

Why Hawkeye?

Hawkeye was never the strongest Avenger, nor did he have the flashiest suit or superpowers. Yet he consistently proved his worth through precision, reliability, and doing the fundamentals exceptionally well. The Vivo X300 FE follows the same philosophy. It doesn't chase outrageous specifications or marketing gimmicks. Instead, it quietly nails the essentials with a superb display, dependable performance, excellent cameras, and outstanding battery life. It may not grab all the headlines, but when it matters, it's the flagship that gets the job done.
