Microsoft Lumia 640 is "coming soon" to T-Mobile

-
T-Mobile is getting ready to launch the Lumia 640, one of the two mid-range smartphones that Microsoft announced earlier this month at MWC 2015. The carrier is currently listing the Lumia 640 (LTE variant) on its official website, though for now it can only tell us that the handset is "coming soon." 

Microsoft already revealed that the Lumia 640 LTE would cost around $160, and that's how much T-Mobile will probably ask for the handset (if not less). While it's going to run Windows Phone 8.1 at launch, the 640 will be updated to Windows 10 sometime later this year (just like its bigger brother, the Lumia 640 XL). 

Powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, the Lumia 640 features a 5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels, an 8 MP rear camera, 1 GB of RAM, and 8 GB of expandable storage space. The smartphone weighs 145 grams, measures 141.3 x 72.2 x 8.8 mm, and comes with a 2500 mAh battery.

 Besides being released by T-Mobile, the Microsoft Lumia 640 will also be available at AT&T and MetroPCS (the latter might sell it for just $99.99)

Samsung Galaxy S6 edge survives over 20 minutes under water

Samsung didn’t waterproof the new Galaxy S6 and S6 edge like it did with their predecessor. So, what happens if you drop your Galaxy S6 edge in water?  TechSmartt  decided to find out and dunked the an S6 edge into a bowl of water with the stopwatch running. The phone lasted over 20 minutes before powering off. That's a lot more than can be expected from a phone with no official water resistance rating, but it was not without taking some damage. After some drying and charging the Galaxy S6 edge came back to life, though there was still water in the device (visible in the front-facing camera. The phone also tended to reboot or even not boot at all after the experiment. So, definitely don’t go put your Galaxy S6/S6 edge in water on purpose, though it looks like it has a good chance of surviving an accidental drop if you pull it out quickly and dry it properly. Note that depths plays a part, an IPX7 rating for example specifies up to 1m of water.

Apple Watch pre-orders open

The Apple Watch is here! Kind of. Pre-orders are now open online, which is honestly not as exciting as waiting in line for days in anticipation of the next big thing. However, the actual watches will take weeks, and for most people more than a month to arrive, as shipping times are surprisingly long. Apple Watch Sport ships in June (!) Apple Watch (stainless steel) shipping times are four to six weeks Apple Watch Edition shipping times vary between models from July to August (!!) Hey, but if you want to order a band without the watch it will arrive quicker: it only takes 2 to 4 weeks for most bands to ship. Some ship in May (classic buckle), and others are simply not available yet (modern buckle). You can pre-order an  Apple Watch at the Apple Store here  (external link)
