Samsung Galaxy Ring arrives at Virgin Mobile, delivers Jelly Bean for &#036

[V-Tech]

 

 

Jelly Bean has been making its way to ever cheaper phones in recent months, and that's very conspicuous with the launch of Virgin Mobile's new Samsung Galaxy Ring. For $180, you're getting Android 4.1 in a price range where 4.0 is still common. You're also getting a surprisingly capable device under the hood -- while there's no LTE, the prepaid handset carries a reasonably quick 1.4GHz processor, a 4-inch screen, a 5MP rear camera and a 1.3MP front-facing sensor. We'd still consider shelling out a little more cash for a future-ready 4G device, but Virgin users determined to scrimp and save can pick up the Galaxy Ring today.

Too bad Sprint/Virgin's 3G service is absolutely abysmal. Lack of coverage and terribly slow speeds sent me to T-Mobile. I can get a way better phone for almost the same price.
