Boost Mobile rings up Samsung Galaxy Prevail II

The entry-level smartphone runs Android Jelly Bean and should be more than enough for first-time buyers.

Boost Mobile announced on Thursday that the Samsung Galaxy Prevail II is now available through the no-contract carrier.

The entry-level smartphone runs Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and features a 4-inch WVGA display and 1.4GHz processor.

Also present are the standard fare of Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth (4.0), and microSD expansion (up to 64GB) slot.

The Samsung Galaxy Prevail II is offered with Boost Mobile's $55 Android Monthly Unlimited plan. Customers who pay their bill on time are rewarded with shrinking monthly statements; every six on-time payments knocks the price down by $5 per month.
