Un-carrier by T-Mobile and Samsara Luggage is a smart carry-on solution for travelers that stands out against a sea of black luggage with not just its unmissable color but also its standout tech features. This smart suitcase is packed with features to support travelers during the busiest travel season of the year and beyond, such as wireless and USB-C charging and Tag Smart technology for tracking belongings.
For a new generation of remote workers, the magenta bag also doubles as a workstation thanks to its flat-top surface, and it helps to keep travelers organized with a packing set.
"Why is T-Mobile, a wireless provider, launching a suitcase? Well, we’re the Un-carrier—and travel is kind of our bag. So we made one. A bag. An actual bag," Mike Sievert, CEO of T-Mobile, said in a press release.
