MetroPCS has a neat new promotion in store, offering the Microsoft Lumia 640 for just $39 and the LG G Stylo for $199.
The prices are after a mail-in rebate to bring the Microsoft Lumia 640 down to $39 from $129 and the LG G Stylo to $199 from $249.
The Microsoft Lumia 640 made its debut earlier this year at MWC 2015 and will be among the very first smartphones to receive the latest Windows 10 OS when it's ready to roll out. For now, the handset ships with Windows Phone 8.1 and Lumia Denim.
In terms of hardware specifications, the Microsoft Lumia 640 features a 5-inch display with an HD resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and packs a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor under the hood, coupled with 1GB of RAM.
Other specs of the Lumia 640 include 8GB of built-in storage, microSD support for up to 128GB of additional storage, 30GB of OneDrive cloud storage space, an 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and auto focus, a 1-megapixel front camera, 4G LTE connectivity, and a 2,500 mAh battery.
In other words, the Microsoft Lumia 640 doesn't come with any top-notch specs on board, but it should nonetheless deliver a more than decent performance on a budget. The smartphone has already stirred plenty of interest and the new $39 price tag on MetroPCS will likely make it a popular choice among Windows Phone fans.
The LG G Stylo, meanwhile, is a stylus-enabled LG phablet with mid-range specifications all around. The device sports a large 5.7-inch IPS display with an HD resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, a 64-bit quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor running at 1.2GHz, and 2GB of RAM.
Other specs of the LG G Stylo include 16GB of internal storage space, a microSD card slot for additional memory, a 13-megapixel main camera with Laser Auto Focus and LED flash, a 5-megapixel selfie cam, and a 2,900 mAh battery. The phablet is also 4G LTE-enabled, while other connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, NFC, and A-GPS.
The LG G Stylo is not the best phablet out there, but the new $199 price tag on MetroPCS does make it more attractive.
