It wasn't all that long ago that MetroPCS began offering the LG Connect 4G, but today the carrier added yet another Android handset to its roster. The latest handset to join the MetroPCS family is the ZTE Score M which, as you might've guessed, is fairly similar to the ZTE Score that's already available on Cricket. Specs for the Score M include a 3.5-inch HVGA display, 600MHz processor, 3.2-megapixel camera and Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The Score M differs from the Score in the battery department, packing a 1,500mAh battery while the regular Score's juice pack is 1,200mAh. Pricing for the ZTE Score M on MetroPCS is set at $49 after a $30 mail-in rebate.
The ZTE Score M looks to be a fairly entry-level handset, but for folks on MetroPCS looking to get an Android phone on the cheap, it could definitely be worth considering. Plus, since the last couple of Android phones introduced by MetroPCS have been higher-end, it's good to see Metro fleshing out its low-end lineup as well.
