Samsung M820 GALAXY PREVAIL Accessories

Samsung Galaxy Prevail Offers Low Price and High Performance

Until recently, prepaid cell phone users were only able to choose from a small selection of relatively basic mobile devices. Though networks such as Boost Mobile offer incredibly monthly usage rates, they did not offer devices that were capable of making full use out of the plans included data packages. With the Samsung M820 Galaxy Prevail, however, all that has changed, and Boost Mobile customers can now enjoy a full smartphone experience at a price that is much lower than the monthly access fees other cellular service providers are charging.

The Galaxy Prevail is the first device for Boost Mobile that runs on the Android 2.2 Froyo platform. This operating system is both powerful and reliable, making it a great option for nearly any smartphone. While this cell phone does not include a top-of-the-line processor, it does run remarkably well with little to no lag or sluggishness. Boost Mobile is powered by the nationwide Sprint 3G network, so in many areas reception is not a problem. If, however, you are located in a more rural area, you may experience more gaps in coverage as currently Sprint is most widely available in urban and suburban areas.

Despite the similar name, the Samsung Galaxy Prevail should not be confused with the popular line of Samsung Galaxy S devices. While the Prevail is powerful enough for the average user, it lacks some of the highly advanced features of Galaxy S mobile phones. The Galaxy Prevail features a 2 megapixel camera without flash that is capable of taking decent photos in outdoor settings, but indoor photo quality is often poor. Videos captured on this device dull in comparison to those recorded using a Galaxy S device. While the vast majority of apps in the Android Marketplace will run on the Prevail without issue, video playback is a bit disappointing.

Videos that may play fine on other smartphones may not play on the Galaxy Prevail without being reformatted using a third party application. The screen on the Prevail is similar to that of other mid-range Android devices, and it offers excellent clarity and vibrant colors. The touchscreen interface is responsive and easy to use.

All in all, the Samsung M820 Galaxy Prevail for Boost Mobile is an excellent choice for anyone who is looking for an affordable smartphone without needing to spend a fortune on a monthly plan. Both the device and Boost Mobile services are very affordable and offer quality that rivals other carriers and mid-range smartphones, and they are a great way to get a lot of bang for your buck.
