Sprint bundles Galaxy S6 in $80 all-in monthly rate plan
Sprint is doing something a little bit different for its Galaxy S6 sales, hoping it might attract customers looking to purchase the upcoming flagship smartphone.
The wireless provider will bundle the handset with unlimited talk, text, and data in one monthly rate plan. The 32GB Galaxy S6 can be leased for 24 months at a rate of $80 per month; customers receive a $20 credit toward the device itself. The 64GB model will be $85 per month while the 128GB model will run $90 per month. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is $85 per month – $5 per month after the same $20 lease credit.
Customers interested in multiple lines can grab four Galaxy S6’s with unlimited talk, text, and 20GB shared data for $200 per month. Again, this option is considered a lease and not an equipment installation cost.

Lumia Camera 5.0 for PureView devices with Denim getting a small udpate today
If you own a Lumia 830, Lumia 930, Lumia Icon, or Lumia 1520 with the full Lumia Denim update, you will want to check the Store for an app refresh of the Lumia Camera 5.0 app.
Version 5.0.2.49 is now available, which is a small update from 5.0.2.48 earlier this month.
AT&T has the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge available for pre-order starting tomorrow
With the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge going on sale nationwide on April 10, we’re seeing a bit of activity amongst the carriers regarding pre-orders. We have T-Mobile putting their S6/Edge variants available for pre-order starting tomorrow and like the uncarrier, so too will AT&T. However, unlike T-Mobile, AT&T will not be shipping devices tomorrow. Here’s how you can snag the device on AT&T.
You can pre-order the S6 or S6 edge from AT&T’s web site or retail locations in either black sapphire, white pearl or gold. You’ll be able to pick any of the three storage options ranging from 32GB, 64GB or 128GB. The 32GB version of the S6 will cost $22.84/month on AT&T Next 24, and the 32GB S6 Edge will cost $27.17/month on the same plan.
As far as a standard contract is concerned though, we’re not seeing anything in terms of pricing from the carrier. That said, if you do decide to go the 24 monthly installment route, you’ll get $50 off of Samsung’s Gear Circle. The kicker for that is, you don’t have to buy the new flagships, as it applies to all Samsung phones on Next. We have the press release for you below.

Amazon Cloud Drive Now Includes Unlimited Cloud Storage Plans
Amazon on Thursday announced two new unlimited cloud storage plans for Amazon Cloud Drive, enabling users to store an endless amount of photos, videos, movies, music, and files. Amazon users can choose either the Unlimited Photos Plan for $11.99 per year or the Unlimited Everything Plan for $59.99 per year, with a free three-month trial available for each plan for customers that want to try the service.

The lower-tier Unlimited Photos Plan allows for an unlimited number of photos to be stored on Amazon Cloud Drive, alongside up to 5GB of additional storage for videos, documents and other files. The more expensive Unlimited Everything Plan allows for unlimited storage of photos, videos, files, documents, movies and music with no restrictions. Amazon Prime members are already provided with an Unlimited Photos Plan at no additional cost.
“Most people have a lifetime of birthdays, vacations, holidays, and everyday moments stored across numerous devices. And, they don’t know how many gigabytes of storage they need to back all of them up,” said Josh Petersen, Director of Amazon Cloud Drive. “With the two new plans we are introducing today, customers don’t need to worry about storage space—they now have an affordable, secure solution to store unlimited amounts of photos, videos, movies, music, and files in one convenient place.”
The addition of unlimited cloud storage makes Amazon Cloud Drive a more competitive alternative to other cloud storage services such as iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and Dropbox. Apple does not offer unlimited iCloud storage, providing customers with tiered storage options of 20GB, 200GB, 500GB or 1TB for between $0.99 and $19.99 per month. Google and Microsoft also have capped storage plans, while Dropbox offers unlimited storage to business customers only.
CNNgo comes to Apple TV with live and on-demand news
It looks like Apple TV’s enjoying a growth spurt — at least if you’re into factual content (sorry soap opera fans, your time will come). It looks like CNN is finally coming to Apple TV via CNNgo. The app dishes up both live and on-demand news, but the former requires a cable subscription (such as Dish, AT&T U-verse, Verizon FiOS, DirecTV, among others) as is the rumor for NBC, too. Apple TV’s not short of news services, with ABC, CBS, CNBC, WSJ and the disappointingly non-acronymed Bloomberg already available. Still, we’re never going to complain about more channels — it’s in everyone’s interest, after all.

ZTE profits doubled in 2014, eyes third place in the US

The rise of China’s home-grown smartphone brands continues. ZTE has just announced a 94 percent increase in its net profit in 2014, led by strong smartphone sales and growth in China’s 4G carrier networks.
Profits reached 2.63 billion yuan ($423.4 million) in 2014, up from 1.36 billion in the previous year, while operating revenue rose 8.3 percent to 81.4 billion yuan. Strong demand for low-cost handsets have helped to drive ZTE’s bottom line, the company is riding the same wave that has seen Xiaomi, Huawei, Meizu and other low-cost Chinese manufacturers rise to prominence in Asia’s booming smartphone industry.
Like others, ZTE has its sights set on further overseas expansion this year. To do so, ZTE has increased its marketing expenses by 50 percent in 2015 and, unlike most of its rivals, is directly targeting the US market next. The company aims to make it into the top three smartphone vendors in the US by 2017. ZTE currently sits in fourth position in the North American market, behind Apple, LG and Samsung, and the company saw its smartphone shipments jump by 50 percent in the US last year, so the goal may not be as out of reach as some may think.

In addition to smartphone growth, ZTE is also benefiting from the adoption of faster 4G data speeds throughout China. A separate arm of company supplies telecommunication equipment for networks and the division is expected to build a further half a million 4G base stations around China in 2015, according to Phillip Capital.
2015 is likely to be another bumper year for China’s smartphone manufacturers, with competition only likely to increase as companies look to expand into overseas markets.
