Samsung Galaxy Halo is Cricket Wireless' newest Android Nougat phone
The Galaxy Halo is sold by Cricket for $179.99 (no contract required), and comes only in black. The smartphone offers LTE connectivity and support for HD Voice, sports a 5.5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels, and is powered by an octa-core processor clocked at 1.6 GHz (most likely, this is a Samsung Exynos 7870). Other features include an 8 MP rear camera with LED flash, a 5 MP front-facing camera, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of onboard storage space, and a 3,300 mAh battery.
Right now, the Samsung Galaxy Halo runs Android 7.0 Nougat, and it's not clear if it's going to be updated to Android O - although we certainly hope it will. If you're interested in buying the phone, you can find it at Cricket at the source link below.

Yes, I know that Samsung devices bring in a premium price, and yes, it has an Exynos octa-core processor and a 3300mAh battery in it, but, otherwise, I can get these kinds of specs on several other devices a considerable way below this pricepoint. This Samsung Galaxy Halo is about $80 too expensive for me, and it has Samsung’s backward navigation button layout, which is the opposite of what I’m used to. I think I’d rather get the LG Harmony, or the Alcatel Pulsemix, or the Coolpad Canvas, which should all be below $100. Also hoping the Nokia 3 and the Motorola Moto E4 show up in Cricket’s lineup for decent prices (they’ll be below the price of the Samsung Galaxy Halo at any rate).
