Motorola Triumph review

When we first laid eyes and hands on Motorola's first Android offering for Virgin Mobile, we were pleasantly surprised. The Triumph proved to be one of

Solid body ; Good price ; No Motoblur

Inconsistent reception ; Some apps slow to load ; Mediocre battery life

The Motorola Triumph is an ambitious mid-level phone that successfully ditches the stigma of pre-paid offerings.

Motorola Triumph (Virgin Mobile) review

Virgin Mobile has really stepped it up in the prepaid smartphone department in recent years, releasing Android handsets like the Samsung Intercept and the LG Optimus V . While we liked both of these devices, they were decidedly entry-level, with slower...

The Motorola Triumph has an attractive 4.1-inch WVGA display, decent multimedia features like a 5-megapixel camera that can record HD video, a front-facing VGA camera, HDMI output, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. Performance is snappy.

The Motorola Triumph has squishy side buttons. Captured video has poor audio quality.

The Motorola Triumph finally brings a high-end Android smartphone to the prepaid market.

Motorola Triumph Review: The Best Contract-Free Phone Available Now

When it comes to prepaid phones, the Motorola Triumph is one of the best I have ever seen. This $300 device from Virgin Mobile (price as of July 25, 2011) proves that you don't need top-of-the-line specs, like a dual-core processor or 4G connectivity,...

Very fast and responsive ; No third-party Android overlay ; Sharp and clear display

Audio in videos sounds muffled ; Camera images could be sharper

The Motorola Triumph is one of the best prepaid phones you can buy.

Motorola Triumph (Virgin Mobile)

The biggest selling point here is Virgin Mobile's inexpensive pricing plans. You can sign up for an unlimited text, data, and Web plan for as little as $35 per month with 300 voice minutes. 1200 minutes costs $45, and unlimited voice calling brings the...

Virgin's most powerful phone. Large, lovely screen. Outstanding plan pricing

Mediocre reception. Longish camera shutter delay. Poor video camera quality

The Motorola Triumph is a killer deal and the best smartphone available on Virgin Mobile.

Review: Motorola Triumph

Motorola's Triumph for Virgin Mobile brings a big screen and other big features to the contract-averse. Just because this phone is for pre-paid customers doesn't mean it takes any short cuts. Here's what Phone Scoop has to say in this full review.

Motorola Triumph Review by Sydney

It's one thing to save money by using a prepaid carrier. It's another thing when you can actually get a high-end smartphone while still saving money with a prepaid carrier.

Large display; front-facing camera; fast processor; great monthly plans from Virgin Mobile; decent battery life

Slow 3G speeds; video capture quality could have been better; problems with sensitivity on the touchscreen

After testing out the Motorola Triumph, I can say that it is one of the best prepaid smartphones currently on the market. The Samsung Galaxy Indulge offered by MetroPCS did better in my testing, but the Triumph is a solid second-place winner. At $300,...

Motorola Triumph Reviewed - Does Motorola Triumph Over the Competition?

The Motorola Triumph is looking to do as its name suggests, beat out the competition in the prepaid smartphone market. Featuring some impressive specifications that rival those found in contractually obligated higher end smartphones, the Triumph is...

The Motorola Triumph ranks in as a solid "Good" ranking for a prepaid, affordable smartphone. It is set to be released on July 19th with a price point of under $250, which seems a bit expensive, but the item to note is that there is no contract...
