Motorola Triumph Overview

The Motorola Triumph for Virgin Mobile sports a 4.1-inch screen on a super thin .4-inch body. With a 5MP camera that shoots HD video, a VGA front-facing camera, and HDMI-out, the Triumph offers a great set of features for Virgin Mobile customers eager to get their Android on.

The Motorola Triumph is the first Motorola Android Phone available EXCLUSIVELY for Virgin Mobile customers, and ditches Motorola's traditional "MotoBlur" UI in favor of a stock implementation of the OS. As far as prepaid smartphones are concerned, this is about as good as it gets.

Motorola Triumph Reviews

CNET
"The Motorola Triumph finally brings a high-end Android smartphone to the prepaid market."
Engadget
"The Triumph proved to be one of the better looking and performing pre-paid handsets we'd had the pleasure of holding in our sweaty mitts, but we had one major hangup: the name."
Android Community
"Here’s a Motorola candybar you’re not going to want to miss. This is the first Motorola device to be carried by Virgin Mobile, and the biggest and by far the most impressive Android handset you’re going to be able to purchase off-contract for under $300."
PCWorld
"The Motorola Triumph is one of the best prepaid phones you can buy."
PCMag
"The Motorola Triumph is a killer deal and the best smartphone available on Virgin Mobile."
Laptop Mag
"The Motorola Triumph provides a very good Android experience without a contract, but its battery life is short."

Motorola Triumph Debuting on Virgin July 19th?

Motorola and Virgin have kept a bit quiet on when we’d see their latest phone, the Triumph. It’s a decent looking phone that, wait for it, doesn’t have BLUR.

Motorola Triumph for Virgin Mobile First Impressions [VIDEO]

The Motorola Triumph for Virgin Mobile was a pleasant surprise at today’s joint Motorola/Sprint event. The phone gives off some serious Droid X vibes with its blocky look, 4.1-inch screen, and 1GHz Snapdragon processor.
