If you recall, the Microsoft Band 2 first received a price cut of $75 back in February this year. While that promo was available until March 26, the Redmond, Washington-based company offered the same deal in April and May as well.

This month’s promo ended on May 21, but it has now come to light that the deal has again been extended, running from May 29 through July 9 this time. The discount is available on purchases made through online and retail Microsoft stores in the US as well as some third party retailers like Amazon and Best Buy.

The Alcatel Idol4 Pro, which has been the subject of a handful of leaks already, has now received Wi-Fi certification from the WiFi Alliance (WFA), suggesting that the Windows 10-powered phone will launch soon.

What’s worth mentioning here is that the device that has been certified is a T-Mobile variant. This could mean that the handset will only be available in the US, at-least at launch.

It’s rumored spec-sheet currently reads SD820 SoC, 6-inch full HD display, 20MP rear camera, and 64GB storage. There’s currently no information on how much it will cost.

Intro

So, I am an iPhone guy, but most of the time I use an Android secondary phone. I was downgrading from iPhone 6s Plus to iPhone SE as I came to terms with the fact that big phones aren’t my thing when the Huawei P9 arrived for a review.

A week later as I was wrapping up our Huawei P9 review, and I’ve decided to make the Huawei P9 my primary smartphone and see how things would go from there. Here are the reasons behind my decision.

First – the dual-camera and Leica software. I really liked the color profiles, the B&W camera, and rich manual settings, and the mode that…

The past week was jam-packed with new device announcements. Samsung’s even added a brand new Galaxy “C” family to its lineup.

The Korean giant kicked things off within its new metal lineup with the Galaxy C5 and shortly after, the Galaxy C7. Both can be considered mid-range offers and the only difference between the otherwise indistinguishable “C” pair is the size (5.2-inches and 5.7-inches), as well as a small processor upgrade.

Moving on to another exciting release – ZTE Axon 7. With all the bells and whistles, like a 5.5-inch AMOLED QHD display, Snapdragon 820 SoC and up to 6GB…

The LG G5 has received a price cut in the US. The device is currently available for under $500 ($496 to be specific) on eBay. For comparison, third party retailers and carriers are selling the modular smartphone for somewhere between $575 and $700.

What’s worth mentioning here is that the model on offer comes with LG warranty, but is only compatible with GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile, meaning those on CDMA carriers are out of luck. Available color options include gold, pink, silver titan.

International shipping is available as well. For more information on the deal, as well as…
