Interested in buying the HTC 10 but not so hot on the price tag? HTC has launched a new campaign called #GreenIsGood that will run from October 1-8, and essentially offers $150 off the HTC 10 in any color you want. With the sale price, the device will cost $550 unlocked. The campaign is only available in the U.S.

That HTC 10 will also come with UH-OH protection — which means that if it accidentally cracks or gets water damage during the first 12 months of ownership, HTC will replace it for free. Last but not least, the campaign offers you the chance to enter to win prizes, although it doesn’t say exactly what those prizes are.

The HTC 10 isn’t the only device on sale through the promotion, although it is the most powerful. The device, which has been very positively reviewed, boasts a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor with 4GB of RAM, options for either 32GB or 64GB of RAM, and a really nice camera, especially compared to past HTC cameras.

Also on sale are the HTC Desire 626 and 626s, which will be offered at $80 off, and have decidedly midrange specs, although at a very decent price. The device comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor with 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and a 13MP rear-facing camera. With the sale, the $180 phone will come at a super-cheap $100.

Next up is the UA Healthbox, which is being sold for $100 off, or $300. The Healthbox includes a range of health-tracking products, including a fitness band, a smart scale, and a heart rate tracker. You can also buy the UA Band by itself, which will come at $120 ($60 off), and lets you track things like sleep, resting heart rate, activity, workout intensity, and so on.

Samsung’s budget Galaxy Z Flip FE will keep this spec from the Galaxy Z Flip 6

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE is expected to launch sometime next year, most likely toward the end of the second quarter of 2025. We don't know a lot about the budget-oriented flip phone yet except that it's expected to use the Exynos 2500 chip. Now, another leak suggests it will keep the same display as the Galaxy Z Flip 6.

Ross Young, a known tipster and supply chain analyst, responded to a comment on X and stated that the Z Flip FE would have the same panel as the Z Flip 6. For reference, that's a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with 2640 x 1080 resolution, a 120Hz variable refresh rate, and a maximum brightness of 2600 nits.

One of the most anticipated new phones for 2025, the OnePlus 13R, is expected to arrive soon. We have our best look yet at this successor to the OnePlus 12R, thanks to fresh images from tipster @MyseryLupin.

The OnePlus 13R is anticipated to be similar to the Chinese-only OnePlus Ace 5. However, the newly released images indicate that this rebranded phone may not launch in the same green and gold options available for the OnePlus Ace 5. Instead, we might see black or dark gray variants.

Does your Samsung Galaxy S22 have a bootlooping problem? You aren’t alone

The Samsung Galaxy S22 series is great, but many users have been plagued by bootloops for a year or more. If you're finding yourself among that number — don't worry, you aren't alone — Samsung does offer a potential fix. A quick search of the r/SamsungGalaxy subreddit shows multiple posts reporting bootloops from the One UI 6.1 beta update and more posts from a year or more ago. This is far from an uncommon issue.

The primary fix for this problem is to send your phone to Samsung for a replacement motherboard, although this comes at a cost since the S22 series is no longer under warranty. However, another Reddit user — u/HenryTan — shared an update that Samsung will cover the cost of repairs. It might be a matter of luck, but u/HenryTan suggests emailing the Samsung CEO for a faster response. They also admitted that being a Samsung Care member could have influenced the decision.
