LG X power and alcatel Streak by Cricket
Cricket is adding two more
Android-powered smartphones to its portfolio. First off, let's talk about the
alcatel Streak. This same device is already offered by Sprint's prepaid brands
Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile as the alcatel Dawn.
If you grab it from Cricket with a
prepaid plan you need to pay US$ 29.99. The handset comes with a 4.5-inch 854x480
touchscreen, a 1.1 GHz quad-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, a 5 MP main camera, a
VGA front snapper, 8 GB of expandable storage, 4G, and a 1,780 mAh battery. It
runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Next up, Cricket has announced that it's
going to sell the LG X power, which was first outed at the end of
May. This phone's main claim to fame is its 4,100 mAh battery, because
otherwise it's a midranger through and through.
It has a 5.3-inch 720p display, a 13 MP
rear camera with LED flash, a 5 MP selfie shooter, the MediaTek MT6735 SoC
(with a 1.3 GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU and Mali-T720 GPU), 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB
of expandable storage, and 4G support. It runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
The X power will be available at Cricket
starting on August 26 for US$ 159.99 plus tax and with activation of a smartphone
plan. For a limited time, those who bring their existing number to the carrier
will only pay US$ 129.99 plus tax for the device (a plan still needs to be
activated however).
