T-Mobile and MetroPCS celebrate Memorial Day weekend with a slew of deals and devices

By Williams Pelegrin Published January 15, 2019

Memorial Day weekend is almost upon us, which means T-Mobile and MetroPCS have a slew of deals and devices to offer both new and existing customers.

The highlight of these deals is the 64GB Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, which now cost the same as their respective 32GB versions. Through the promotion, you save $80, bringing the prices of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge down to $670 and $780, respectively. If you opt to pay for either handset on a monthly basis, you’ll pay nothing upfront and pay $28.33 and $32.49 for the 64GB Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, respectively.

If you don’t need that much storage and are perfectly content with 32GB, however, T-Mobile will give you a $50 Visa prepaid gift card when you buy either the 32GB Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge. Either way, you’ll have from May 23 through May 25 to take advantage of these deals.

For those whose wallets aren’t so heavy, however, T-Mobile announced it is now selling the LG G Stylo and the LG Leon LTE. You can nab the Stylo for $0 down and 24 monthly payments of $12.08, or simply buy the phone outright for $290. Meanwhile, the Leon LTE will also go for $0 down and 24 monthly payments of $6.24, with its outright cost being a much more manageable $149.76. More specifically, as originally revealed by an internal memo, the Leon LTE will be free for prepaid customers after promotional rebates.

Not to be left out, MetroPCS will offer the Leon LTE starting May 22 for $50, while the Stylo will be available on June 1 for $200. In addition, MetroPCS is kicking off two promotions today, the first of which offers a free phone or $50 off a pricier handset, if you switch from Virgin Mobile, Boost Mobile, or another prepaid competitor. Finally, the second promotion involves offering four lines of unlimited talk, text, and 2GB of 4G LTE data for $100 per month.

All in all, these seem like solid promotions, but some of them do have expiration dates, so you might want to take advantage of the deals sooner rather than later.

iPhone Duo has unleashed a whole new MagSafe headache

Your old power banks and wallets may not be making the jump with you.

At IFA 2026, while wandering through a sea of new gadgets, one little trend kept popping up in the charging and power-bank aisle. Several brands had suddenly embraced wider, squarer magnetic power banks. At the time, it made perfect sense. The iPhone Duo was coming, the leaks had done a pretty good job of spoiling the surprise, and accessory makers clearly weren't waiting around.

I initially thought, “Well, that's just foldables.” I've used the Galaxy Fold 8, and a squarer power bank for a squarer phone isn't exactly rocket science. Then Apple actually launched the Duo, I dug a little deeper, and realised there was a rather annoying catch.

Come on, Apple. The iPhone 18 Pro deserved better

All eyes are on the iPhone Duo, and the flagship iPhone 18 Pros seem like an afterthought

Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Apple's iPhone 17 Pro felt like a substantial upgrade last year. After several generations of increasingly familiar Pro iPhones, last year's phone finally looked and behaved like Apple had reconsidered the hardware rather than simply refreshed it. The aluminum unibody was new, even if titanium seemed more premium.

The giant camera plateau gave Apple more internal space, vapor-chamber cooling finally arrived, battery life improved substantially, and all three rear cameras moved to 48MP sensors. Even the front camera got the genuinely useful Center Stage treatment. A year later, the iPhone 18 Pro dropped without any of the same momentum. Rather, all eyes are on the more premium iPhone Duo.

The HONOR Robot Phone feels like the first phone I’d actually buy for its weirdest feature

I wanted a better workflow. HONOR built a robot.

HONOR Robot Phone Hands On First Impressions Review

When I was at Computex earlier this year, I shot a lot of Reels using my DJI Osmo. And don't get me wrong: that little camera is excellent. The stabilization is great, the video quality is good, and it is exactly the kind of thing you want when you're running around a trade show trying to make content. But then came the annoying part: transferring all that footage to my phone or laptop, moving it to the cloud, and finally getting it onto the platform I actually wanted to use. At some point, I remember thinking, "Why are there so many steps?"

Apparently, HONOR had the same thought. The difference is that while I just complained about it, HONOR went ahead and built a phone around the idea. The HONOR Robot Phone is, admittedly, doing a lot. It's a flagship Android phone, a miniature motorized camera gimbal, a robotic arm, and an AI playground all rolled into one. But after actually using it at IFA Berlin this year, I found myself caring far less about the novelty and far more about the camera. Because, honestly, this thing is really good.
