Samsung Galaxy Prevail to be Samsung’s Low-End Android for Boost

12

We received an invitation to New York to join Samsung as they look to unveil a new device for pre-paid carrier Boost Mobile, but had no idea what to expect. The event isn’t scheduled to go down until Tuesday, but Engadget’s received a 19-paged document in which they found the Samsung Galaxy Prevail, a low-end Android handset.

From the looks of this thing, it’s about as bare an Android phone as you’re going to get. It has a now-smallish 3.2 inch capacitive display, a 2 megapixel camera, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooh, and expandable memory (among other usual suspects) – that’s  all that could be mustered up as far as specs go.

And judging by that list, I’d say don’t expect too much excitement in other areas such as processor, RAM and which version of Android it’ll run. Virgin also looks to be carrying the device, according to the same source. The device will cost $180 so this is as good as it’s going to get if you want a cheap introduction to Android.

The "Google Phone" sounded too awesome to pass up, so I bought a G1. The rest is history. And yes, I know my name isn't Wilson.

  6. Who cares? Boost is being slaughtered by Virgin, not only in price of plan, but phones as well. Their Nextel Iden network is abysmal and the Lg Optimus shatters this phone across the board. It seems this phone is just the Samsung Intercept, sans keyboard. We all know how awesome that phone is. ;)

    1. you know what! thats ur opintion and if you dont have anything nice to say keep it to your self . some people like boost. boost is acticaly more honest then people think and then other companys are you dont get unlimited for the low price ur talking about.boost is not just trying to get busness they want there custumers to be happy for what they have in there plans and it will be better in the long run and it doesn’t matter what type of phone you have …. it matters if you get what you need in the phone…..most people today cant aford there phone so respect other people and ur self you need to come down and think before u write something on the enternet…………….kk bye
