Samsung Galaxy S Lightray 4G for MetroPCS now available for $460
MetroPCS has announced official availability of the rumored Samsung Galaxy S Lightray 4G. The device has been launched in-stores and online today, and users can throw down $460 for the right to take it home.
The Lightray 4G will run on the carrier’s LTE network and features a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED display, a 1GHz processor (type is unknown, but its clock speed is lower than the 1.4GHz it was originally believed to be), an 8 megapixel rear camera, a 1.3 megapixel front camera, Android 2.3, and more.
The phone does a lot to remind us of Verizon’s Samsung DROID Charge in everything from its specs to its looks, and if that phone is anything to go by we can’t say this will be a model smartphone.
Of course, considering the rest of Metro’s lineup it’s not hard for a phone of this nature to be an attractive offering. Head to MetroPCS.com if you’re interested and read on for full press details.
