T-Mobile launches $325 high-tech suitcase
Telecommunications company T-Mobile is partnering with luggage company Samsara to launch a new high-tech device ahead of the holiday travel season — and no, it isn’t a smartphone.
The company is offering a bright magenta-colored suitcase dubbed the “Un-carrier On” that’s tailored to travelers who are looking to stay connected while on the go. The name comes from T-Mobile’s “Un-carrier” marketing campaign, launched in 2013.
Designed as a carry-on, features include wireless and USB-C charging, Tag Smart tracking tech, a TSA-approved combination lock, rotating spinner wheels, a flat-top work surface and an eight-bag packing set.
The suitcase costs $325 (not including tax) and orders are expected to ship later in the month.
