Samsung Galaxy Axiom sneaks into U.S. Cellular lineup
The budget-friendly Android features hardware that closely resembles the Galaxy S3 Mini.
U.S. Cellular this week quietly introduced another Android smartphone this week with the budget-friendly Samsung Galaxy Axiom.
Appearing on the carrier's Web site without even a press release, the Axiom runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and delivers a 4-inch 480x800-pixel WVGA display, a 5-megapixel rear camera, and front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera. Additional details include a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 2,100mAh battery, NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 4G LTE connectivity.
Astute readers will recognize that the Galaxy Axiom closely resembles the recently announced Galaxy S3 Mini. Save for its slightly faster processor and longer-lasting battery, it's nearly identical in every other aspect.
U.S. Cellular is selling the Samsung Galaxy Axiom for $79.99 with new service agreements and $399 without a contract.
