T-Mobile Vivacity makes a UK landing: affordable 3.5-inch Android hiding ZTE origins
The T-Mobile Vivacity hit the UK carrier’s website a couple of days ago and even back then we could tell that it was going to be in the affordable Android business. Today, the Vivacity hits T-Mobile UK shelves exclusively and packs quite a punch for the zero on-contract price.
It retails for around $150 off contract, which places it comfortably right in the Android low-end segment. At such a low price point, the 3.5-inch screen is definitely a huge bonus and something that might turn some eyes. Currently, the device is only selling in the UK, but we’ll update you as soon as we find out more about its possible US arrival.
