The Galaxy S Light Luxury was just announced in China packing very modest specs, the device is pretty much a "lite" variant of the Galaxy S8. The 5.8' screen from the S8 makes a return keeping the same dimensions as its bigger brother. The Light S features the same Super AMOLED panel with 1,080 x 2,220 px resolution (18.5:9). The phone has a single camera on the back - 16 MP sensor and an f/1.7 aperture. It can record 4K video at 30 fps, but OIS is absent (surprisingly). The selfie camera has an 8 MP sensor with an f/1.7 aperture. The Snapdragon 660 chipset inside the Galaxy S Light Luxury should offer similar CPU performance to the Galaxy S8's 835. It does have 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. Given the Galaxy S Light Luxury's size, it shouldn’t be a surprise that there’s a 3,000 mAh battery – the same capacity as the Galaxy S8. There’s support for fast wireless and wired charging, the latter of which goes over the USB-C port....
Earlier this year in September, there were rumours of a
merger between Sprint and T-mobile, then by early october, it ws heard that such
merger was in its concluding stage, although a Nekkei exclusive report states
that Sprint owner, Softbank, wants to opt out from the mer
ger. The information
is expected to be officially delivered to Deutsche Telekom, owner of T-mobile. 
Prior to this, they both had reached an agreement to make
T-mobile and Sprint one of the largest carriers in the United States seeing
that they both are among the top 5 largest carriers in the country.
According to
the report, all that was left was to settle out who had controlling shares,
that was when the deal began to crumble. As Softbank has tried to buy T-mobile
from Deutsche Telekom in 2014 but could not due to regulatory authorities, it
seemed only fair that they try to be the owner of the majority of the shares if
the deal went through.
They both wanted controlling stakes at the new company
formed with Telekom insisting on having it but with that Softbank decided to
opt out rather than give up control. Hence, Softbank has called off talks about
the merger and are supposed to present it formally to Telekom today. This, however, has had its effect on the two companies as Sprint shares fell 9% while T-mobile shares fell 5%.
