Samsung Galaxy Prevail Review: Android Smartphone for Boost Mobile
Want a decent, attractive smartphone without all the hassle of expensive carrier contracts? The Samsung Galaxy Prevail lets you adjust your plan on a month-to-month basis if you so desire; the phone itself is fairly priced at $149.99. The 3.2-inch display doesn’t have the sharpest resolution (it’s 480 x 320p), but it still shows colors and contrasts nicely. Same with the 2 MP camera—if you’re satisfied with a camera that takes decent pictures in good lighting, then you won’t have any issues with this smartphone. The user interface is bright, well organized, and easy to operate. We were happy with the host of features it includes, such as Bluetooth, GPS, business and personal email. Boost Mobile also rewards you for every 6 on-time payments by lowering the monthly fee by $5.
