I'm Jessica's all Christina allow me to introduce the samsung galaxy admire 2 for Cricket Wireless this is a prepaid phone that costs $250 off contract it's very compact has a 4 inch screen pretty good pixel density and brightness on this one seemed a little bit dim on autofocus sometimes especially indoors this phone is based off of the Samsung Galaxy s3 model also the exact same phone as the Samsung Galaxy axiom on US Cellular so there are a lot of similarities has the sort of brushed metal finish but it is all plastic very high gloss feels very nice in the hand slips into pockets it is pretty heavy though and that's noticeable if you hold it up to your ear for a long time or if you're holding it for a while but you will grow used to it I carry a heavier purse anyway so I don't really notice it the phone runs Android 4.1 jellybean with Samsung's TouchWiz interface on top one of the biggest most important software features of this phone is that it comes with crickets move music service now you pay for that along with your rate plan and what you get in exchange is unlimited downloads for songs also ringtones that you can make I think it's really good value unfortunately the software is a little stuttery it did halt and completely crash on me more frequently than I thought it should so you wear this phone runs on a 1.7 gigahertz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core processor seemed pretty speeding there's a 5 megapixel camera on the back with flash and a front facing camera as well camera quality is very solid I took satisfying pictures that I could share with other people upload online and this is definitely a high point for this mid-range phone then my r2 is also outfitted with 4G LTE capability but you're only going to find that if you're in crickets 4G footprint if not you're gonna be surfing slow 3G speeds like I did I'm just a tall court for CNET you can check out my full review of the Samsung Galaxy admire 2 at cnet.com you
