Samsung unveiled its latest mid-range dual-SIM smartphone, the Galaxy Grand 2, back in November, 2013, and on Saturday, January 18, 2014, the white variant of the handset went on sale from several independent retailers for ₹22,999 (Indian Rupee) — approximately $374. However, if you’re in India and you’re not a fan of the white colorway, then this could be your lucky day. The South Korean company has today launched two new color variations of the device — Pink and Black.
Google is currently in the process of pushing out a relatively minor over-the-air maintenance update to all LTE-enabled variants of the Nexus 7 located in the United States. Sadly, this upgrade doesn’t bring any major software modifications, but it does include support for Verizon’s super-fast 4G LTE network — just pop your Verizon SIM in, add the device to your plan for an additional $10 per month and you’ll be good to go.
LG Korea has officially unveiled the much-anticipated G Pro 2, the upscaled successor to its previous flagship smartphone of 2013. Unfortunately, the South Korean company did not provide us with an official launch date for the 5.9-inch phablet, but it did hint that it will be on display at this year’s Mobile World Congress, which is scheduled to take place in just eleven days time on Monday, February 24, 2014, in Barcelona, Spain.
The Sprint MVNO operator, Ting, has just announced that it is now selling the Nexus 5 on its own website, but, strangely, it doesn’t want to you to buy it from its online store. Instead the carrier would prefer if you went to Google itself and purchased it directly from the Play Store for $349 and, then, popped a $10 pre-paid Ting SIM card into the handset upon its arrival.
Verizon Wireless has at last officially announced that will be offering the LTE version of Google’s flagship tablet of 2013, the Nexus 7, on its super-fast 4G network, from this Thursday, February 13, 2014. The American carrier will be listing the slate for $349.99 upfront, which will get you a factory unlocked model of the device, or $249.99 on a two-year data only contract. Customers can also add the tablet to their Share Everything Plan for an additional $10 per month.
