Is T-Mobile prepping a promotion for Samsung Galaxy devices in the very near future? Based on a leaked internal memo, that appears to be the case, reports TmoNews.

The memo hints that starting on May 13, buying a qualified Samsung Galaxy smartphone and tablet will net customers a $100 T-Mobile pre-paid MasterCard. Eligible phones include the Samsung Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy Note 4, and the Galaxy Note Edge. Meanwhile, eligible tablets include the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0.

Before you rush out to your local T-Mobile store to take advantage of the deal, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, while you won’t have to buy both devices on the same day, you will need to purchase the second device within 30 days of  your first device purchase. Both devices must be paid for with an equipment installment plan (EIP).

In addition, the second device must be activated with a postpaid rate plan, such as T-Mobile’s “Best Tablet Plan in Wireless” plan. This plan, which goes for $10 a month, allows tablet owners on T-Mobile to have the same amount of data as they do for their T-Mobile smartphone each month, up to 5GB.

With all of that in mind, interested customers will need to mail their receipts, make sure both devices are active on T-Mobile’s network, and be up-to-date on their EIP payments. Within eight weeks, customers should receive their $100 pre-paid cards.

The memo didn’t reveal how those cards will be sent out, nor did it say when the promotion will end. However, it does state the promotion will be for a limited time only, and since the memo reveals the promotion starts tomorrow, we should see T-Mobile announce it either today or tomorrow morning.

Samsung is prepping ridiculous camera upgrades for Galaxy flagships

Before we dig into this tantalizing, mind-bendingly ambitious leak, grab the biggest fistful of skepticism you can. Got it? Let’s get into it. According to a fresh leak, Samsung is cooking up a camera sensor with an astounding 324-megapixel resolution that could appear in a flagship phone two years from now.

According to leakster Sanju Choudhary, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will come equipped with the in-house ISOCELL HR1 sensor that yields a 324MP sensor output. That’s the most megapixel-heavy smartphone sensor we’ve come across, eclipsing the 200-megapixel units Samsung is currently hawking.

Less than a week ago, we covered a Samsung Galaxy S25 leak that hinted at its possible colors. Now that information has been corroborated and more from Ross Young (@DSCCRoss) on X (formerly Twitter). When that story went up, we didn't have the color names. Now we do — and they're sparkly.

According to Young, the base S25 will come in four colors: Moon Night Blue, Silver Shadow, Sparkling Blue, and Sparkling Green. The Galaxy S25 Plus will come in five colors: Midnight Black, Moon Night Blue, Silver Shadow, Sparkling Blue, and Sparkling Green.

The first Galaxy S27 details just leaked. Here’s what we know
samsung galaxy s24 fe review 18

The Samsung Galaxy S25 is due to release in January, and we've heard next to nothing about the Galaxy S26. Why, then, did we just get the first details on the Galaxy S27? The release is a full generation away, but Samsung is reportedly already working on the chipset.

Dubbed "Ulysses," this new Exynos chipset is still in the earliest stages of development. Mass production is planned in 2026, but a lot can happen between now and then. Tipster Jukanlosreve first noticed the news on the Korean site SEDaily. The article is written in Korean, but I found the translation to be easy enough to understand. Fair warning: Google Translate doesn't handle formatting well.
