Are you in the market for a flagship smartphone — or, more specifically, for two flagship smartphones? If so, then T-Mobile has an offer you may be interested in. Starting today, you can buy select flagship phones from the “Un-carrier” and then get 50% off a second version of the same phone. The Android phones that are eligible for the deal include the Galaxy S6, the Galaxy S6 edge, the Galaxy Note 5, the Galaxy S6 edge+, the LG G4 and the LG V10. The iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are also all available as part of the deal.

This sounds like a good deal for anyone who’s in the market for multiple phones for their family. Additionally, you don’t need to trade in your current device to take advantage of the deal and it’s available to both new and existing customers.

“According to a new survey released today, a full 70% of families won’t upgrade everyone’s phones at the same time due to costs and upgrade restrictions,” T-Mobile explains as its reason for offering the deal. “So, someone in the family gets stuck with the old hand-me-down phone. According to the survey by Civic Science, nearly three-quarters of the time, this means the kids get shafted with the second-hand phone – a troubling trend for socially sensitive teens and tweens!”

And we wouldn’t want the teens and tweens to get stuck snapping selfies with subpar cameras, would we?

At any rate, you can read more about this deal from T-Mobile’s official press release at this link.
