Services are becoming ubiquitous. It matters less which glowing rectangle we reach for, we want access to our data and our favorite programs. Including LTE in tablets is already gaining in popularity, and Microsoft is now building it into their newest version of their Surface tablet PC.
The Surface 3 is a mid-range solution, which for many folks can handily replace both a laptop and a tablet. It’s a smart play for adding cell phone data, as it’s focused on portable productivity, which Microsoft has been pushing with recent updates to Office and OneDrive.
It also fills a serious gap in Microsoft’s lineup, as there haven’t been many slates sporting LTE and running Windows.
AT&T will be the first carrier to launch the Surface 3 LTE, and they’ll kick off with a sale. You can snag a Surface 3 for $399 with the purchase of any Lumia phone on AT&T Next. You can read the full pres release below.
LG has a monster smartphone on their hands this year. The G4 refines everything we liked about last year’s G3, while improving the screen and vaulting their camera into one of the best performers of the year.
AT&T has just started pre-ordering for the phone, but if you’re really lucky, you might be able to win a G4 from Big Blue. Every 4,000 seconds they’re going to give one away. There’s also a grand prize of an LG 4K TV which will be given away at the end of the month.
You can catch our full review of the LG G4, and links to our full collection of comparison videos below!

UPDATE!
AT&T has finally weighed in! The Galaxy S6 Active will be available starting June 12. They’re being frustratingly coy about pricing, just giving us the Next monthly payment pricing. At $23 a month on Next 24, that would put price near the HTC One M9 and LG G Flex 2. We can expect an off contract price over $700.
Also interesting, AT&T is listing the battery at 3500mAh, instead of the 2550mAh that Samsung listed the battery at. If this is true, we could have a monster variant of the S6 on our hands, as battery life on the regular S6 is often criticized.
You can catch AT&T’s full press release after the original blog post below.

We’ve already spent some time with the international version of Microsoft’s newest budget phablet, but if you’re looking for a big screen at little price here in the States, AT&T just delivered a “Coming Soon” page for the Lumia 640XL.
Now official word yet on pricing or availability, but you can catch our full review, camera review, and speaker test below!
If you were shopping the LG G4 on AT&T, pre-sale starts tomorrow.
Big Blue lands the G4 with either plastic or their exclusive black leather rear plate. The upgrade to premium leather will cost you though. The plastic G4 will cost $199 on two year contract or $630 outright. The leather G4 will bump you up to $239.99 on contract or $669 off contract.
The only special advertised with the G4 is a $0.99 sale on the LG G Pad F 8.0 which is normally $150 on two year agreement. Though if you buy the G4 through AT&T you can still take advantage of LG’s killer free memory card and battery promotion.
We have a full round up of G4 reviews and comparisons, and you can catch AT&T’s press release below.
