If you’re looking for an Android phone, you might want to take a trip to Walmart.

550 of its stores are now selling the phone at a lower price than T-Mobile, the company told Dow Jones. While the network operator charges $179.99 for the handset, Walmart has it on sale for $148.88 with a two-year contract.

Walmart hasn’t said whether it plans to sell the phone in more stores in the US.

In a related story, the T-Mobile G1 has gone on sale in the UK, Vnunet reports. It’s available free of charge with a $70 a month contract.

Jim Hyde, managing director of T-Mobile in the UK said:

“With so much excitement generated by the announcement last month, we’re thrilled to bring the T-Mobile G1 to the UK in time for Christmas.”

Motorola is already updating some phones to its Android 15 beta

Android fans can breathe a sigh of relief. The long-awaited Android 15 is finally here and is rolling out to compatible smartphones. We knew the release was coming; in fact, we reported on it rolling out to Pixel devices yesterday, and Motorola had already confirmed that it would be coming to a wide range of devices.

According to a report from GSMArena, some users have begun to see Android 15 beta show up on the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion, but it's likely that the update is also hitting other Edge 50 models. These phones are currently receiving the Android 15 beta update, but the full version will make its way to these handsets, too — possibly by the end of the year if we assume the current update is a test of stability for the OS.
