Cricket now offering contract-free Huawei Ascend Q...

The United States network, Cricket is now offering the Huawei Ascend Q for a pre-pay price of $140 or on contract $55 (Unlimited mins, texts and data). The phone itself is a entry-level/budget Android handset but may be good for text-aholics as it does come with a QWERTY keyboard.

The Ascend Q packs a 3.2-inch HVGA (320x480) display, powered by a single-core processor clocked at 800MHz with 512MB of RAM. Cameras on device includes a 3.2-megapixel rear-facing camera and no front-facing camera. Internal memory is 2GB and can be expanded using the MicroSD card slot by up to 32GB (4GB card is included with phone). The device runs Android 2.3 which was expected by myself given the specs. 

ZTE Flash leaked, heading for Sprint...

If this leaked image is to be believed then ZTE will be unleashing a new Android phone onto the Sprint network on October, 24, 2012. The device looks like a over-sized Grand X however it does comes with some flash (no pun intended) specsl.

The phone is said to pack a 4.5-inch 720p IPS display, be powered by Qualcomm's dual-core S4 processor clocked at 1.5GHz with 1GB of RAM. The device apparently has 8GB of internal storage and a MicroSDXC card slot allowing the memory to be expanded by up 128GB. The device also comes with dual camera, one 12.6-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1-megapixel front-facing camera. Other than that, it supports LTE, has NFC functionality and runs Android 4.0 which is likely to be updated before launch.

Galaxy Reverb for Sprint leaks...

An image has been leaked on Twitter of a low-end Samsung device by the name of Galaxy Reverb (SPH-M950) that is bound for the Sprint network. The device appeared on EV Leak's twitter account with some specs but has since been removed.

The device packs a 4-inch WVGA (480x800) display, powered by a single-core Qualcomm processor clocked at 1.4GHz with 768MB of RAM. The device features two cameras, one 5-megapixel rear-facer and a 1.3-megapixel front facer for video calling. Other specs haven't been disclosed but the device does run Android 4.0 and will more than likely see the update to Android 4.1.

Pricing and a release date for this device hasn't been announced yet, neither has any information concerning the device actually having compatibility for Sprint's LTE band.
