You can’t really sugarcoat it: senior citizens get a raw deal when it comes to cellphones. Carriers tend to either assume that you don’t use data (and want a basic cellphone) or else give you a modest discount at best. T-Mobile thinks it can do bette…

Android smartphone manufacturers usually slap their own skins on top of the core Android operating system to make it stand out from the crowd. However, there’s a growing community of Android purists that prefer to have a stock Android experience on their device. Lenovo has taken the feedback from its customers and decided that it’s going to ship all future smartphones with stock Android.
Lenovo smartphones previously came with the company’s own skin that was called Vibe Pure UI. The China-based company has now confirmed that it’s going to ship all future smartphones with stock Android, starting with the upcoming K8 Note handset.
The Lenovo K8 Note is going to be the company’s first smartphone to ship with stock Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box. Lenovo says that it has made this decision after hearing from consumers about what it is they want. It saw the trend that consumers prefer stock Android so that’s why Lenovo has decided to drop Vibe Pure UI from its phones.
There’s going to be no more Vibe UI going forward and Lenovo smartphones will shift to a complete stock Android experience. This is, without a doubt, a huge shift for Lenovo from a business perspective and the company is hopeful that it’s going to pay off in the long run.

As we get closer to the official launch of the Galaxy Note 8, we keep finding out more details about the upcoming flagship from Samsung. There have been rumors before that the Galaxy Note 8 may offer significantly more onboard storage. According to a new report, Samsung is going to release a variant of the Galaxy Note 8 with 256GB onboard storage, but it’s likely going to be limited to South Korea.
The recent reports about the specifications of the Galaxy Note 8 all suggest that it’s going to have 64GB of storage. That’s what the case is going to be in most markets. Customers in the majority of the markets where this smartphone is released will have to make do with 64GB of onboard storage.
It’s not like they will be pressed for storage, though, given that the Galaxy Note 8 is going to have support for external expansion via microSD cards. So 64GB of storage is certainly going to go a long way for them.
It’s unclear whether the Galaxy Note 8 with 256GB storage will be branded as the “Emperor Edition” in South Korea as it has been previously rumored, but there’s a good chance now that this variant will be made official at launch or soon after the company unveils the Galaxy Note 8 on August 23rd.
Samsung may or may not offer this variant in other markets across the globe but so far it hasn’t been said that this remains a possibility.

T-Mobile is looking to revamp the cellular experience for senior citizens in the United States so it has announced a new plan today called the T-Mobile One Unlimited 55+. As the name suggests, this plan is only for those aged 55 and up. It offers two lines of unlimited data for $60. That includes all applicable taxes and fees.
T-Mobile CEO John Legere says that the T-Mobile One Unlimited 55+ plan has been developed with senior citizens in mind. It aims to provide them with a proper cellphone plan equipped with unlimited data and more compatible with modern devices.
In true Magenta fashion, the carrier doesn’t miss an opportunity to take a jab at rival AT&T, which offers a $29.99 per month per line plan called Senior Nation. It’s for customers over the age of 65 and offers 200 anytime minutes, 500 night and weekend nights, and unlimited calling to AT&T customers. The plan isn’t of much use if the subscriber has a smartphone.
On the other hand, T-Mobile’s new mobile plan for senior citizens brings them into the digital age. They will not only get unlimited calling and texting but also unlimited data. This means that they will be able to use their modern smartphones properly and take advantage of all of the internet-connected features that they have to offer.
T-Mobile customers will be able to subscribe to the carrier’s new Unlimited 55+ plan starting August 9th.
