Today T-Mobile added another Samsung device to their line-up of phones, announcing the Samsung Galaxy Avant as a low-budget alternative to the pricier Galaxy S5. Packing a quad-core 1.2GHz processor, 1.5GB of RAM and a 4.5-inch qHD (960 x 540) display, the Avant seems like a solid choice for those wanting the S5's features without spending over half-a-grand. It features Samsung's popular S Voice service as well as features like Smart Switch and Easy Mode.

No word yet on internal storage or what kind of camera the Avant is packing, although its safe to assume that once the product page appears on the T-Mobile site, all questions will be answered. The Galaxy Avant is priced at $216 (or $0 down and $9 a month for qualifying customers) and is available in T-Mobile stores today. Sound off in the comments with your thoughts on Samsung's latest budget offering.
