If you're looking for a new budget phone, than you might want to check out the Samsung Galaxy Avant. We first heard about it back in June, and it's expected to launch on T-Mobile on July 30 with a couple of new features.

It will feature a Remote Device Unlock, which will give you the ability to unlock the phone either permanently or temporarily. This would be done through a pre-installed app on the phone. All you will need to do it launch the app, and tap “Continue” which will then give you the opportunity to unlock the phone temporarily or permanently. You would then get confirmation that the unlock was successful and proceed to reboot the phone.

The Galaxy Avant could also be the first phone to be compatible with T-Mobile's upcoming 700 MHz spectrum.

Now as far as the specs go, don't expect to be wowed. It will feature a 4.5-inch qHD (960 x 540) display and a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor. I'm sure we will hear more about the device in the coming days.

His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
