Samsung Galaxy A54 5G Verizon launch set for April 6
Samsung's affordable Android powerhouse is arriving on Verizon.
Samsung's Galaxy A54 5G is shaping up to be one of the best mid-range smartphones you can buy, with its beautiful OLED display, outstanding performance, and excellent battery life. Perhaps best of all, it comes in at an extremely reasonable price, making it an alluring option for smartphone shoppers. While Samsung's currently offering some of the best deals on the phone, it looks like Verizon is throwing its hat into the ring, not only announcing that it will be offering the handset starting April 6 but also celebrating the release with promotions of its own.

It seems like ages ago, but in 2019, T-Mobile changed how wireless carriers approached business by offering lots of benefits and perks with its service. Today, that same energy has been adopted by other wireless carriers like Verizon, which offers its own set of perks by signing up for its service. Today, it's beginning a new program called Plus Play and is giving its customers early access to the content hub while also offering some great incentives. The offer is valid for those that purchase a subscription through Plus Play, which will grant them a free year of Netflix Premium service that normally costs $19.99 per month.

While it's easy to go and check out a new smartphone, that's not always the case when it comes to wireless service. For the most part, wireless carriers always promise to provide the best coverage available. But, what often happens is that consumers will look at a coverage map and will just have to make a choice. Unfortunately, coverage maps aren't always accurate, and sometimes customers can be left with subpar service at their homes, office, or other places they frequent.

FAA assist leads to roughly $70 billion 5G C-Band rollout by July 2023
Partnering with the FAA, AT&T and Verizon will be able to rollout their costly 5G C-Band network by July 2023.
In the cellular race, spectrum is king. So it comes as no surprise that AT&T and Verizon purchased close to $70 billion combined on 5G C-band spectrum early last year. Unfortunately, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had some bad news for the wireless carriers, issuing a warning and eventually delaying the roll out of its 5G C-band network. Now it looks like all parties have come to terms, reaching an amicable solution that should see the network up and running by July 2023.

Verizon has delivered a surprise up for the LG Wing that will enhance its 5G capabilties, giving it access to its mid-range spectrum.
Verizon has released a surprise software update for the LG Wing. With this latest update, the handset will now offer support for Verizon's C-Band 5G network and will gain Android's April security update.

The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro now work with Verizon's C-Band 5G network, if you have a compatible unlimited plan.
AT&T and Verizon switched on their C-Band 5G networks back in January, giving the carriers a proper competitor to T-Mobile's speedy mid-band 5G. However, phones also need to be updated with the proper firmware support before connecting to C-Band 5G, which has been a slower process. Two more phones have now been added to the list, though — the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.
