Sprint Drops Nexus 6 price to $249, Customers Who Ordered One Get Refund



Nexus 6 is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated smartphones of the second half of the year and the latest and greatest Nexus flagship is already available for purchase at several US retailers, including AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint. The latter one has dropped the Nexus 6 price to $249 on-contract.
When the 32 GB Nexus 6 debuted at Sprint, it was made available at a price of $299 with a two-year agreement with the carrier. Now Sprint has cut-off the Nexus 6 price to $249, making it $50 cheaper than the AT&T variant. The even better news is that the customers who already bought the Nexus 6 between November 14 and November 18 will get a $50 refund. The fee will be added as cred on their bill. Of course, you can still purchase the handset contract-free at a price of $648, or you can opt for Sprint’s 24 Easy Pay program for $0 down and 24 monthly fees of $27 each.
I remind you that Nexus 6 is currently one of the most powerful smartphones on the market. It boasts about a 6-inch AMOLED display with Quad HD (1440 x 2560) resolution and 493 ppi pixel density, while being underpinned by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SoC with quad-core 2.7 GHz Krati 450 CPU and Adreno 320 GPU. The terminal also arrives with 3 GB of RAM, 32/64 GB of non-expandable internal storage, and all the connectivity features worthy of a modern smartphone including LTE, NFC, Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 4.1 LE, and microUSB 2.0. On the back there’s a 13 MP primary shooter with optical image stabilization dual-LED ring flash, and 4K video recording support, while the front panel accommodates a 2 MP Selfie camera. Nexus 6 is kept alive by a 3,220 mAh battery that’s compatible with Motorola’s Turbo charger which promises up to 8 hours of autonomy after only 15 minutes of charging.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 2: US Availability, Pricing & Tech Specs



AT&T recently announced that Samsung’s Galaxy Mega 2 device will hit their stores on October 24th. The Galaxy Mega series is a mid-range set of devices aimed at entry-level tech enthusiasts on a low budget, looking to buy a phablet.
AT&T also revealed pricing details for the device. It’s currently set at $19.80 a month for 18 months, $23.75 a month for 12 months, or $149.99 for a two-year contract. Obviously, there’s also a no-strings-attached option of $474.99.
This release is not surprising as AT&T currently offers the largest selection of Samsung devices, usually being the first to release the tech giant’s flagships. Most of the time, the carrier also has a decent selection of deals for these devices when new releases come up, and with November approaching, that may be the case pretty soon.

Galaxy Mega 2 sports mid-range specifications. It comes with a 6-inch 720 x 1280 pixel display, 1.5GB of RAM, a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 16GB of native storage, expandable using an external microSD card up to 128GB, an 8MP rear camera alongside a 2.1MP secondary shooter, and Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box. Overall, it’s not a top-notch device, but it’s actually pretty decent. The downside to this device is that there are better phones available for the same price, so some tech enthusiasts are skeptical about purchasing it.
