Samsung Galaxy Admire 4G (MetroPCS)

 

At just $100, the Samsung Galaxy Admire 4G has a number of things going for it. It delivers a consistent 4G LTE experience, it has an attractive, compact build, and it's ideal for customers looking for a simple, no-contract smartphone.

The prepaid Samsung Galaxy Admire 4G features a compact build, 4G LTE, and plenty of photo-editing options.

Running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the Admire 4G feels dated right out of the box. It also has a low-resolution screen.

The Samsung Galaxy Admire 4G is a dependable handset in its own right, but it just can't top the cheaper, faster, Android 4.0 LG Motion 4G.

Samsung Vitality (Cricket Wireless)

 

Editors' note: Portions of this review are taken from the Samsung Admire for MetroPCS, which is a nearly identical handset.

The Samsung Vitality is an Android 2.3 Gingerbread device with a good size touch screen and Cricket's signature Muve Music music-access plan

Low audio and speakerphone volume make it harder to talk. The Muve Music microSD card leaves little space for photos and video. Battery life is also rather poor

The Samsung Vitality is a competitive midrange Android smartphone that complements Muve Music's potential.

Samsung Vitality SCH-r720 (Cricket Wireless)

 

Last January, Cricket Wireless' bold leap with Muve Music brought Cricket customers music downloads, ringtones, ringback tones, and other music tools, along with the prepaid carrier's all-inclusive talk, text, and Internet plan. The experimental plan...

Expert review by:

Samsung Admire (MetroPCS)

 

The Admire runs the latest version of Android, 2.3.4 (Gingerbread), which is a big plus. Samsung hasn't done much tinkering with the UI, so it's a relatively straight Android build. There are five customizable home screens you can swipe between, which...

Runs Android 2.3. Inexpensive monthly plans

Mediocre call quality. No 3G (or 4G). Low-quality camera

The Samsung Admire is a decent, midrange Android smartphone for taking advantage of the inexpensive monthly plans on MetroPCS, but there are better options available.

Hands-on with Cricket's Samsung Vitality with Muve Music

 

We've spent some quality time the past few days with the Samsung Vitality from Cricket Communications, and we've come away pleasantly surprised. With the Vitality, you've got a mid-level Android smar...

As you'll see in the video above, Muve is an easy-to-use music service. But what really makes it shine is that Cricket's made the billing process as simple as can be. Actually, there is no billing. No per-song fee. You pay $65 a month for unlimited...

Samsung Vitality

 

The Samsung Vitality is a great phone option for commitment-phobes with a yen for technical features such as music on-the-go, web and email access and excellent app availability. Unfortunately, the nature of the pay-as-you-go service that comes with...

This pay-as-you-go smartphone has oodles of high-tech features and exceptional access to apps

Music, internet, email and games makes this phone more expensive than basic prepaid models

The Samsung Vitality is the most sophisticated phone available for zero-commitment service plans.

"Good phone but..."

 

You'd think that Samsung wouldn't disappoint on their "Galaxy" lineup, but this sure did. I've had this phone for about 2 and a half months and i'm starting to regret that I chose this over the LG Motion. Although this phone is very appealing. The few...

Consumer review by:

"Samsung Galaxy Admire is a FLOP!"

 

So sad Samsung I thought you were better than this. The only thing worse than the call quality is Metro PCS's "customer service." I tried to use this phone to start a contract with Metro but after many attempts trying to call them (while in the middle...

Never did find any

Bad call quality
