Samsung Galaxy Amp Prime
US carrier Cricket Wireless has launched
a new Samsung smartphone. Dubbed Galaxy Amp Prime, the device - the carrier
says - offers "premium features" and is aimed at "social media
power users and value seekers."
Specs-wise, the 4G LTE handset sports a
5-inch super AMOLED display, features a 5 MP main camera, and runs Android 6.0
Marshmallow. Other features include Ultra Power Savings Mode to extend the
standby time, Easy Mode for beginners and elderly, as well as support for one-handed
operation.
The device carries a price tag of US$ 149.99, and is available both online and in stores. In addition, Cricket will
also be launching the Samsung Galaxy Amp 2, an entry-level 4G LTE smartphone
with a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED display. Aside from signature Samsung features
like Quick Launch camera and Ultra Power Savings Mode, the phone comes with an
outdoor mode, which the carrier says lets users increase the screen brightness
for 15 minutes for better visibility in sunlight.
The Galaxy Amp 2 will carry a price tag
of US$ 99.99, and will be launched on April 15. Like the Amp Prime, it'll also be
available both online and in stores.
