The latest and greatest smartphones and action camera from HTC are coming to AT&T on November 7. The U.S. carrier announced on Monday that the HTC Re, Desire Eye, and One M8 with Windows are on their way to its stores. AT&T also announced availability for several other products On Monday, including the Moto 360, LG G Watch R, Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, and more.

The super powerful camera-centric HTC Desire Eye will be available online and in stores on November 7. Those who are interested in HTC’s flagship alternative can purchase the Eye in the Coral Reef and white color option for $0 down. If you choose an AT&T Next plan, you can own the Eye after 18 monthly payments of $22.92 or 12 monthly payments of $27.50. AT&T will also offer the Eye for $150 with a two-year contract, or you can buy it outright for $550. The Desire Eye is an AT&T exclusive for now, so if you’re on another carrier, you’re out of luck for now.

HTC’s Re action cam launched alongside the Desire Eye last month and it’s also arriving at AT&T on November 7. Those who are interested in the camera, which HTC markets as the GoPro for normal folks, can get it for $200 outright or for $150 if they also buy the Desire Eye on an AT&T Next plan or with a two-year agreement plan.  The bundle is a decent deal for photography enthusiasts, but the Re is still expensive.

Finally, AT&T announced that it will also sell the infamous HTC One M8 with Windows on November 7. The all-metal flagship phone is one of the best Windows-based handsets out there and you’ll be able to buy it online or at your local AT&T store. It’ll cost you $0 down on an AT&T Next plan, but you’ll pay $27.92 a month for 18 months or $33.60 a month for a year. You can also get it for $200 with a two-year contract or for a whopping $670, if you want to buy it outright.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE vs. OnePlus 8T
Samsung Galaxy S20 FE

Smartphones are getting more and more expensive, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend $1,000 or more to get a quality device. A premium midrange market has appeared, and competition is particularly fierce this year.

Two of the most significant models to come out this year have to be the Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition (FE) and the OnePlus 8T. The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is a toned-down Galaxy S20, swapping out some of the more premium features to make a “bare essentials” device that checks all the right boxes. The OnePlus 8T is a refresh of OnePlus’s entry-level OnePlus 8. It has some unique features on its own but ultimately cuts some corners to separate it from the Pro model. Which of these budget devices is the best for you? Let’s break them down to find out.
