Tomorrow, people in the United States will be able to purchase HTC’s upscaled One variant, the One Max, on any of Verizon’s or Sprint’s 2-year contracts for $149.99 — that’s $100 off the usual price. This promotion is another in a long line of Cyber Monday celebrations and, obviously, is only available online and not in the retailers bricks-and-mortar stores.

Best Buy is now offering Samsung’s former flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S4, completely free of charge with any 2-year contract with Verizon, AT&T or Sprint, from either the retailers website or one of its many bricks-and-mortar stores.

As from today, Motorola’s first budget-friendly Moto X variant, the Moto G, is available to pre-order on Amazon.

Pricing is exactly the same as it is from Motorola itself — $179 for the 8GB model and $199 for the 16GB.

LG has begun issuing invites for a G Flex launch event in Hong Kong on December 3, signaling the company’s intentions to start selling the device internationally. The G Flex first went on sale in South Korea last month, but we’ve been expecting it to expand its reach before the holiday season.

Black Friday is almost upon us and to encourage us to get into the smartphone holiday shopping season HTC has teamed up with both Verizon and Sprint to offer its flagship smartphone, the HTC One, for $29.99 on any 2-year contract. The deal is only valid on Friday, 29 November, and Saturday, 30 November – so if you’re in the market for the One you better act fast.
