Cell phone companies are a dime a dozen nowadays, and trying to choose which one to go with can be a head-scratcher. It seems that the saturated market of carriers is making it harder, maybe even deliberately, to choose which one is right for you. Between bloated fees, long-term commitments, and questionable coverage, customers are often stuck between a rock and a hard place. Choosing a carrier and the plan that fits your needs shouldn’t be so excruciating. In fact, when you boil it down to what matters most out of a carrier, you’ll find one standout that delivers the right balance of price, quality, convenience, and best of all, flexibility — Mint Mobile.

Don’t look for them at the mall or shopping plaza. Instead of unnecessary physical locations, Mint Mobile has re-imagined the wireless shopping experience and made it easy and online-only: No stores, no pushy salespeople, no upselling. The setup is simple and online account management makes the switch from your previous carrier to Mint Mobile seamless. By cutting out the overhead associated with traditional brick-and-mortar retail locations, significant savings are passed directly to you.

Mint Mobile Plans

Mint Mobile plans all include unlimited nationwide calls and texts, free international calls to Mexico and Canada, and the amount of data that is right for you. The innovative online carrier introduced the concept of bulk buying to the wireless space. They offer multi-month plans where the more months you buy upfront, the more you save. You can also set up new a duration to automatically renew at the end of your current cycle, so there will never be an interruption in coverage. The chart below highlights the savings you get from each data plan and additional months added.

All Mint Mobile plans come with a seven-day unconditional money-back guarantee, so if you’re not completely satisfied with your new service, you lose nothing.

You can bring your own unlocked phone and phone number, or, if you are looking for a new phone, Mint Mobile has the latest devices. Right now, for a limited time, the new iPhone SE + Mint service starts at $30 per month. No matter which route you take, you can keep your phone number and all your existing contacts when you switch.

Mint Mobile Coverage

All Mint Mobile plans include coast-to-coast coverage and fantastic data speeds as it runs on the nation’s fastest, most advanced LTE network. Confirm you are covered by simply adding an address, city name, or zip code into their interactive coverage map. To make you feel even more confident to make the switch, Mint Mobile took it one step further to eliminate all the guessing out of wondering if the service is reliable in your area. One of the coolest options with Mint Mobile is their test drive plan, where they let you use the service for just $5. The trial plan includes 100MB of 4G LTE data, 100 text messages, and 100 minutes of talk to test out Mint Mobile where you live, work, and play.

Unlike all of the other major cell phone carriers, there are no contracts with Mint Mobile, nor are there any overage charges. If you happen to run out of data during the month, you can add more by sending a text message or logging into your Mint Mobile account. If you decide you need more data permanently, you can upgrade your 4G LTE data size mid-cycle by merely paying the difference between your current plan and the upgraded plan.

The Xteink e-reader didn’t make sense to me until I did this one thing
I replaced the stock firmware on my Xteink X4 and finally got the typography, customization, and reading stats I wanted.
CrossInk running on Xteink X4

I got my hands on the Xteink X4 a few weeks back, and I was really excited. But as soon as I started using it, I realized the reading experience wasn't that great. The font rendering was poor, the line and word spacing was haphazard, and I couldn't customize much of anything.

Don't get me wrong, the stock firmware has received several updates over the past few months. Many of its issues are gone, and some things, like sleep and wake time, are way better now. Still, something was missing, and I kept leaving the X4 on my desk instead of reading on it.

The iPhone Duo is already sold out for Christmas, and you might not get one until 2027
Missed the preorder? Your best shot is a store line.
iPhone Duo

Preorder day is supposed to be the easy part of buying a new iPhone. It should involve little more than visiting Apple’s website, choosing the storage and color options, and paying the asking price to reserve a unit.

With Apple’s first foldable, that isn’t the case. Apple opened pre-orders for the iPhone Duo on Friday, October 16, 2026, and within an hour, delivery dates had slipped well into next year.

Samsung might swap the Galaxy S27 Ultra’s chip if Qualcomm can’t keep it cool
Qualcomm has until mid-October to chill out, or Exynos gets its comeback moment.

Nobody wants a phone that doubles as a hand warmer, and Samsung clearly agrees. As reported by Seoul Economic Daily, Samsung is unhappy with how Qualcomm’s next flagship chip handles heat, and that could shake up what powers the Galaxy S27 Ultra when it arrives early next year.

Qualcomm revealed the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme 6th generation last month, and Samsung has been putting it through its final round of testing. The results haven’t been great. During long, demanding tasks, the chip kept running hotter than Samsung’s limits allow, and its performance took a hit.
