Cricket Wireless has announced a new device offering for current and would be consumers in the form of the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime. The Grand Prime brings users a 5-inch (540 x 960) screen, a 1.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, 8GB internal storage (with micro SD card slot) and 1GB of RAM. It also offers a 8MP rear shooting camera at 3264 x 2448 pixels and is paired with a 5MP front shooter that can record video in 1080p and is also a wide angle lens for selfie takers out there.
