Buy an Apple, Samsung, or LG phone at T-Mobile and get up to 50 percent off a tablet

Add as a preferred source on Google

On the heels of T-Mobile’s announcement that you can now stream 100 different services via Binge On and Music Freedom without them counting against your data, the carrier is now giving you a chance to get a connected tablet at an amazing price.

Starting tomorrow, if you purchase a flagship smartphone from either Apple, Samsung, or LG, you can also grab a tablet from the same brand at 50 percent off or a discount of $200, whichever is greater.

For phones, you have your choice of any iPhone, Samsung’s Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge Plus, S7, S7 Edge, Note 4, or Note 5, and LG’s V10.

If you purchase an iPhone, you’ll get $200 off any iPad. A few examples are the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 128GB for $880 (reg $1080), 9.7-inch iPad Pro 128GB for $680 (reg $880), iPad Air 2 64GB for $430 (reg $630), or the iPad Mini 4 64GB for $430 (reg $630).

Choose a Samsung phone and get the Galaxy Tab A 8.0 for $160 (reg. $320) or the Tab S2 for $450 (reg $650). Lastly, if you choose the LG V10, you can grab the G Pad F 8.0 for only $120 (reg $240).

This is a very good deal, but there are a few caveats. The first is that you’ll need to sign up for the equipment installment plan (EIP), which means you will pay off both devices over 24 monthly payments. Also, in order to get the unlimited data streaming from the Binge On service on your tablet, you’ll need to sign up for the 6GB per month plan, which costs $35 a month. Lastly, you won’t receive your savings right away. It’ll come in the form of a prepaid card that will take up to eight weeks to arrive in the mail.

If you’re not already a customer of T-Mobile and need a little more enticement, the carrier also announced a new family plan in which you can grab four lines with unlimited talk, text, and up to 10GB of LTE data per line (no sharing) for only $35 per month. You can also opt for the unlimited plan, which will run $50 per month per line for the same family of four.

These deals will be offered for a limited time, but T-Mobile didn’t specify an end date. They are available at T-Mobile stores, authorized dealers, 1-800-T-Mobile, and through T-Mobile Care. Later in April, they will be available on T-Mobile.com.

Lenovo just gave its gaming tablet the OLED display it needed. Now bring it to the U.S.
The Y700 Infinite finally closes the OLED gap between Lenovo and Red Magic
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

There are plenty of compact tablets on the market, but the options shrink quickly once you start looking for something built specifically for gaming. Apple’s seventh-generation iPad mini remains one of the strongest choices on the iOS side, while the Red Magic Astra is one of the most obvious Android alternatives.

Lenovo’s Legion Tab Gen 5 also belongs in that conversation, but it has been missing one feature that is increasingly difficult to overlook on a premium tablet: OLED. Lenovo has now fixed that with a refreshed version of the tablet that swaps the IPS panel for a 165Hz OLED display, making the compact Legion considerably more appealing.

The iPad mini upgrade I’ve been waiting for could arrive in October
Computer, Electronics, Tablet Computer

If you’ve been holding off on buying an iPad mini, you may want to keep that wallet closed for just a little longer. Apple is reportedly preparing a significant display upgrade for its smallest tablet, and it could arrive before Halloween.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple plans to introduce a revamped iPad mini with an OLED display by the end of October. That may not sound particularly groundbreaking when OLED screens are already common across phones, TVs, and even some of Apple’s other products. But for the iPad mini, it would be a pretty substantial jump.
