Wow, Straight Talk is getting an Android phone! Previously the smartphones that were carried by Straight Talk were the Nokia models. The phone pictured above is an Samsung Galaxy Precedent. The new Android phone will retail at $150 and eligible for only the $45 a month Unlimited plan. They are claiming that this is a CDMA phone (Sprint). I haven’t heard much about the specs of this unit as far as processor or as to what flavor of Android OS loaded on to it is. I’ve included a video below talking about the new Straight Talk Android Phone.
