New Phones At Cricket
The Cricket Ovation 2 is a budget device that was launched at Cricket Wireless at the end of May. It's new enough that it does not yet have any reviews online on Cricket's website and it has yet to be put on sale. The device is currently available for $129.99.
The Samsung Galaxy A02s was also recently launched and is another budget option. It too does not yet have any reviews on Cricket's website and it lists for $109.99. However, YouTuber Lady Red's Tech Reviews recently did an unboxing video of the device, and you can watch that down below.
The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G is a mid-range device that was just launched. It replaces the Samsung Galaxy A51 5G. It's currently available for $459.99.
Cricket’s phone deals, which generally apply to phones locked to Cricket for six months, seem to be among the best available. But their phone plans, particularly their lower-end options, are straight out of MVNO-2016 – e.g,, a $30/month 2 GB plan with deprioritized data, no hotspot, and data capped at 8Mbps. Six months of this nonsense can cause a user to regret that original “deal” on the cheap Cricket-locked phone.
On a positive note, the user interface on Cricket’s app and website is great.
