CoolPad Quattro 4G for MetroPCS announced, coming for $150
MetroPCS has announced the addition of a new smartphone to their ranks. The affordable regional carrier has announced the CoolPad Quattro 4G, and while the name alone might be enough to put some people off it might be a decent offering for their asking price of $150.
It’s a 1GHz smartphone with a 4 inch display, a 3.2 megapixel camera, Android 2.3, and 4G LTE radios. It boasts a simplistic design aesthetically, and from the looks of things they have put a user interface on top of Gingerbread.
One might even mistake this to be a Touchwiz phone at first glance, but alas it is not. You can find it online or in stores starting today. Read on for full press details.
