T-Mobile offers the Samsung Galaxy experience on the cheap with the Galaxy Avant

By Williams Pelegrin July 30, 2014

T-Mobile has announced the Samsung Galaxy Avant, a smartphone that brings the Samsung Galaxy experience to consumers on the cheap.

The Galaxy Avant is equipped with an unspecified 1.2GHz quad-core processor that is paired with 1.5GB of RAM. That processor is powering a 4.5-inch 960×540 display and Android 4.4 KitKat. While there’s only 16GB of internal memory, the MicroSD slot allows for expandable memory up to 64GB.

Other specifications include a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, and while there’s a front-facing camera, its megapixel count is unspecified. What isn’t unspecified, thankfully, is how much it costs. If you opt for a payment plan, the Galaxy Avant can be yours for $9 a month. If you want to buy it outright, however, it costs $216.

For all intents and purposes, the Galaxy Avant is the Galaxy Core LTE. Regardless, the $216 does represent a good value if you’re looking for your first smartphones (or one for your kids). If you’re interested in the Galaxy Avant, it’s currently available for purchase from T-Mobile’s website.

The Galaxy Watch 6 marks the wearable’s fifth generation (there was never a Galaxy Watch 2), which means the line has had plenty of time to evolve and mature. Samsung’s decision to embrace Wear OS two years ago and expand the lineup in new directions with an adventurous “Pro” model and the return of the much-loved rotating bezel means that there’s now a Galaxy Watch for just about everyone.

If you are using a Samsung Galaxy or another Android phone or tablet with cellular connectivity, you might see an error on your phone that says "Not Registered on Network."
