Mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) TextNow Wireless presents a couple of treats for its customers. Firstly, the wireless carrier is now selling one of Samsung’s flagship devices, the Galaxy S6 Edge, for a price of only $299.99 refurbished. And secondly, the mobile service provider is also launching its free international calling service.
But wait -- these banned devices are not actually available in the market anymore -- well, mostly. United States District Judge Lucy Koh has decided that Samsung will not be allowed to sell specific models of its smartphones in the US. These handsets were found to be infringing on patents owned by rival phone maker Apple, who had filed for a motion for permanent injunction against a certain number of Samsung smartphones.
Samsung has published its financial projections for the last quarter of 2015, and it appears that the South Korean tech giant is still continuing to recover. However, its latest numbers did not do well enough to meet expectations set by industry analysts. In its report, the company stated that it is expecting to post a profit in the amount of $5.1 billion on total revenues of $44 billion for the final three months of 2015.
Xiaomi lost its number one spot to Apple during the first quarter of 2015, but during the following quarter, the Chinese phone maker managed to regain its lead over the iPhone maker.
Smartphones may not be selling as well as before. Sure, the market for smartphones had a really good showing by the time the year 2014 ended, but recent developments indicate that 2015 may end up as a down year for smartphones.
So you want to get your hands on Samsung's newest flagship device, the Galaxy S6 smartphone? But you are already planning ahead to get the next flagship handset from the South Korean phone maker next year? You might do well to avail of an early upgrade plan. But which one to choose? Here is a quick guide.
Over the last few weeks, details of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S6 model have been leaked to the public. Based on the leaked information, the new S6 model is believed to feature minimal bloatware, a metallic/glass chassis, and even a Sony IMX240 camera sensor. There are even some that believe a curved-screen variant, called the Galaxy S6 Edge, will be released.
Earlier in the month of October, Sprint introduced a rental program that lets its customers lease the new iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus for a flat monthly fee. The program was a success, helping the carrier achieve its best iPhone launch ever.
The Galaxy Note 4, Samsung's latest offering in the phablet department, is scheduled for wide release on October 17th, with all four major carriers (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless) pushing the device to their respective subscribers. People are already pre-ordering their Galaxy Note 4 units, and a few others are even receiving their devices ahead of the release date.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will be offered by all four major carriers in the United States starting on October 17th this year. But it appears that among the Big Four, T-Mobile may have gotten off to a much faster start. Reports are coming in that some of the carrier's customers, specifically those who preordered their Galaxy Note 4 units, have already received their devices. A few even reported that they already got theirs as early as yesterday.
