AT&T’s Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini launches March 20th for $99 on-contract

The Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini might not be able to match the internal prowess of the bigger original it’s based on, but for on contract (.30 per month on Next 24, .88 per month on Next 18 or .48 per month on Next 12) it might become a very decent option among AT&T’s lineup. The device launches March 20th, the carrier has announced.

Here’s what you’re getting for that bit of coin:

• Display: 4.5-inch 720p


• Rear Camera: 8MP


• Front Camera: 2MP


• Voice Calling: HD Voice capable


• Dimensions: 5.16 x 2.55 x 0.36-inches


• Weight: 4.23 ounces


• Operating System: Android 4.4.4 KitKat


• Processor: 1.4GHz Quad-core


• Memory: 16GB internal storage, supporting up to 128GB with external microSD card


• Battery Life: Up to 20 hours of talk time and up to 10 days standby time

Not as great of a value as something like the 2nd gen Moto E due soon, but the Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini has more than enough to hold its own if you absolutely must have a Samsung device. The device will be available both in-store and online, so stop into an AT&T store to check it out before buying if you’re curious about its look and feel before committing to it.

LG G Flex 2 now available at Sprint for $21 per month, $200 on-contract or $504 outright

LG’s latest smartphone is now available to those on the Now Network. You can grab the LG G Flex 2 from Sprint for $21.00 per month for 24 months through Sprint’s Easy Pay smartphone financing, or sign a contract to get it for 0 on a two-year commitment. Those not interested in that commitment can instead opt to pay 4 for the phone outright.

The LG G Flex 2 isn’t expected to be considered LG’s flagship for 2015, but it sure does read like one on paper. It’ll come with Android 5.0 out of the box and its gears tick by way of a Snapdragon 810 processor from Qualcomm.

You’re also getting a 5.5-inch 1080p display, 32GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, a 3,000mAh battery and a microSD card slot that can support up to 2TB. Rawr. Of course, LG’s most proud of the natural curve they were able to get, as well as the vastly-improved self-healing back that makes a return from the original. Get your order in right here if this sounds like something worthy of your dollars with even more competitive options looming.
