14 DAY TRIAL // Officially unveiled last week, Sprint's Samsung Conquer 4G is now available for pre-order via major retailer Walmart.
Although the phone is expected to hit shelves on August 21, it looks like Walmart wants to make sure that customers who pre-order the Conquer 4G through its stores will get a better deal.
In this regard, customers can pre-order the Samsung Conquer 4G from Walmart for free with a new two-year service agreement or eligible upgrade.
In comparison, Sprint officially stated that the cheapest 4G smartphone to date, Samsung Conquer 4G will be available for as low as $99.99 with a new two-year service agreement or eligible upgrade and after a $50 mail-in rebate via reward card.
“The price of Samsung Conquer 4G makes Sprint’s 4G speeds accessible to more customers than ever. We are proud to deliver this dynamic device at a great value without sacrificing must-have technology. Our customers can really do more for less when this ultra-affordable 4G device is paired with the great value of our unlimited data calling plans,” said Fared Adib, vice president-Product Development, Sprint.
Powered by Google's Android 2.3 Gingerbread platform, Samsung Conquer 4G is equipped with a single core 1GHz processor.
Even though the phone is now available for pre-order at Walmart, it will still be delivered with Sprint ID service, which offers users a plethora of apps, widgets, shortcuts, ringtones and wallpapers, especially designed to meet users’ needs and interests.
In addition, the Conquer 4G comes with a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen, a 3.2-megapixel rear-facing camera with LED flash and zoom, as well as 1.3-megapixel front facing camera for video chats.
Obviously, the phone comes with dual-mode 3G/4G capabilities, as well as 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot feature supporting up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices on the Sprint 3G or 4G networks.
