There is no shortage of prepaid mobile plans out there. Though many of these are quite affordable, some of them don’t offer unlimited talk, text, or data. For those of us that have grown accustomed to using these freely, this can be a hard thing to get used to. Thankfully, one of the best prepaid providers — US Mobile — now offers an unlimited plan, and it comes with some sweet perks.
Samsung doesn’t promote its budget-friendly phones as hard as it does its flagship devices like the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. However, that doesn’t mean their less expensive phones don’t deserve some attention. This week, AT&T quietly started selling the 2017 edition of the Samsung Galaxy J3, for the no-contract price of $179.99.

Samsung has revealed its first Android Go device, the Galaxy J2 Core. The phone offers lightweight Go apps, but it looks like it could be based on Samsung’s TouchWiz UI. The J2 Core is available in Malaysia and India from today. The Galaxy J2 Core also offers an 8MP f/2.2 main camera and 5MP f/2.2 selfie shooter — hopefully, Samsung is able to work its image processing magic to deliver decent shots.

Delta, Gogo, Sprint, and other companies announced the Seamless Air Alliance. The group hopes to bring faster and easier-to-use in-flight internet connections. The concept is still in its early stages and faces several obstacles. Getting an internet connection on an object that moves at hundreds of miles per hour, almost 40,000 feet off the ground is not an easy task. In-flight internet is terrible. The Seamless Air Alliance, a new initiative announced during MWC 2018, hopes to change that and deliver broadband-level connections in the sky.

The new Android game Call of Duty: Global Operations is live now in select countries. It appears the new MMO tactical warfare game is in the middle of a soft launch. Call of Duty: Siege soft-launched in October 2016 but was canceled before release, so there’s no guarantee this game will get a global launch. So far, it seems the game is only live in Australia and the Philippines.

Samsung has revealed a variety of S22 series camera features for older Galaxy phones. This includes night portraits, pet recognition support, and more. The company also shed light on other upcoming One UI 4.1 features. Samsung’s Galaxy S22 phones are pretty full-featured on the camera front, but it turns out that people with older Galaxy phones will gain some of these features in the future as well.
For some people, music is more than just something they enjoy; it’s absolutely essential. Everything they do is accompanied and enhanced by music, providing a soundtrack to their entire life. For most of these people, headphones are the delivery method of choice. Some, however, prefer music to fill the whole room.
When you’re at home with your stereo, this is easy. On the go, it’s a little more difficult. That’s where the Bluetooth speaker comes in.
