Samsung Galaxy S6 Active for AT&T

Samsung has finally announced its long rumored Galaxy S6 "Active" , the phone , which is basically a up armored version of the standard S6 follows a recent line of military standard Active models which originally started from the S5 Active last year , the new model , in a surprising twist , is not going to be available for international just yet as the phone is only available through the U.S mobile carrier - AT&T

Unlike the all glass and shiny S6 , the S6 Active is more macho and it comes with a free Arctic and night digital camo to suit , although the shell looks like a case , it is actually the chassis of this MIL-STD810G certified smartphone which also supports the standard IP68 water and dust resistance certification . The internals of the phone are similar to the standard model , the cameras , processor and even the lack of a MicroSD expansion slot on this 32GB only model is still present , but then again you still get the Wireless inductive charging feature so you are not missing out much from the standard model . The phone is said be available for Qualified customers who can purchase the Samsung Galaxy S6 active for $0 down on AT&T Next for $23.17 with 30 device payments on Next SM 243, $28.96 per month at 24 payments on Next 18, or $34.75 per month at 20 payments on Next 12. A international launch of this phone is likely ,but then again , that version will basically be a mirror of this minus the carrier lockdown.

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
