In the recent months, MetroPCS has released a couple of very affordable phones for consumers.  They’ve done it again today releasing the ZTE Avid 4G.

The phone gives you a huge amount of bang for your buck, cooming it at only $149. As far as power is concerned? The ZTE Avid features a 1.2 GHz dual Core CPU running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

While it only has a 4 inch 800 x 480 display, the rest of its features make up for that, including 4G LTE support.  Avid 4G also sports a 5MP rear facing camera and a VGA front facing camera.  For a slight monthly fee, you will also have the ability to turn your phone into a mobile hotspot.

This handset is great option for those looking to get a great phone for not a lot of money.  You can order it directly from the MetroPCS site or in-store.  So if you have some gifts to buy for the holidays or just want to reward yourself, log on or head in and get yours today!

The reason why most people don’t go after budget devices is that those devices won’t be too impressive on the specs side. But you all should check out the teXet TM-7025, which is a new affordable Android tablet just released in Russia.

Although it is a drawback that the new tablet runs only Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread, ICS has been “promised.” But, get this, the new device is coming with 3D video playback. And it boasts a Boxchip A10 Cortex A8 1GHz processor along with 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal memory, and a microSD card slot for expanding memory.

It features a 7-inch capacitive TFT LCD display that looks pretty stylish. But for a better viewing experience, you can connect the device to your HDTV via its miniHDMI connector.

Other features include Wi-Fi, a miniUSB port, a 0.3 megapixel front-facing camera, an accelerometer and a 3,100 mAh Li-Ion battery. You can also connect the tablet to a 500 GB hard drive without the need for extra power. It’s just 12.1mm thin and weighs in at only 13 ounces.

And all that will cost only 5,999 rubles (around $200) in Russia. Now that’s a pretty cheap tablet. And if it’s coming to the US, there is a possibility that it will be available with an even cheaper price tag. We will surely let you know if this one reaches the gates of FCC.
