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.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide could fix the Fold’s biggest problem, if these leaks are right
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide just leaked again, and this time the biggest takeaway isn't the cameras or the color — it's the shape. Two fresh leaks are painting a clearer picture of Samsung's next book-style foldable, suggesting the company may finally be addressing one of the Galaxy Z Fold lineup's longest-running complaints.

The Razr Fold now gets along better with iPhones thanks to AirDrop
Motorola's first foldable learns a new trick, and I guess I'm ready to daily drive it now
Electronics, Speaker, Electrical Device

I already had more reasons than expected to keep the Motorola Razr Fold around. While reviewing it, the company's first foldable genuinely surprised me with its level of polish. A practical outer display, great cameras, strong battery life, and a gorgeous folding screen. All of this made me want to switch to this device as my primary phone.

Now Motorola has added one more reason, and it's just sweetening the deal for me. The Motorola Razr Fold now supports AirDrop-style sharing through Android’s Quick Share, making it the first Motorola phone to get the feature. That means Razr Fold users can share files directly with Apple devices such as iPhones, iPads, and Macs without relying on cloud links, messaging apps, USB cables, or the usual cross-platform nonsense.
