With Black Friday and Cyber Monday right around the corner, you can expect to see some hot deals in the upcoming weeks. This makes November the perfect time to buy a new smartphone like the Galaxy S5 or Note 3. In fact, T-Mobile recently announced plans to sell both of these devices at $100 off their original price. But there are a few things you should know before you head out the door to your local T-Mobile store. The deal will begin on November 21, at which point customers who purchase either the Galaxy S5 or Note 3 will notice a $100 discount automatically deducted from the total price. This isn’t a standard mail-in rebate like many companies offer, but instead it’s an automatic, on-the-spot deduction. T-Mobile has the discount programmed into its computer system, so anytime a customer buys one of the devices he or she will see a $100 discount taken off the price. So, how much will the Galaxy S5 cost with the $100 discount taken into account? Unfortunately, we’re not quite sure on the total price, as T-Mobile failed to answer this in its announcement. The current sale price for the Galaxy S5 is $609.60 down,…

So let’s get down to business with the newest rumors in the mill today.   Fans Will Be Disappointed? Really? How could any think that rumor possible?

GalaxyS5 , News , Price , smart phones / October 2, 2013

Three new rumors surfaced over the weekend about the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone, but before we get into what those rumors are, let’s recap what we know so far. The Galaxy S5 is rumored to be released in February at the Mobile World Congress. The yearly event has always attracted the biggest names in the mobile industry, so it would be no surprise if Samsung did announce its Galaxy at the event. No 64-bit Processor? Yes, you read that right. Samsung is said to be getting rid of the 64-bit CPU, according to the latest rumors. This is a truly unfortunate situation if it is true because most Galaxy fans really, really wanted the S5 to use a 64-bit because it should have offered more power, faster processing and just better performance overall. Though Shin Jong-kyun, CEO of Samsung, said in an interview with the Korea Times that Samsung will indeed use 64-bit processors, they unfortunately won’t get to the manufacturing line in time for the Galaxy S5 release date, we have our own theories as to why it won’t be included. More on that in a bit, but first… No Android Kit-Kat The biggest problem with not…
