Samsung Galaxy Ace Style S765C - Coming to Tracfone

Samsung Galaxy Ace Style Android Coming Soon to Tracfone

Samsung Galaxy Ace Style - Coming Soon!

Tracfone has been busy lately, with five Android phones made available for use on their prepaid networks in the last year, and now a new option in the Samsung S765C coming in the near future.

The Samsung Galaxy Ace Style is a Android 4.3 powered, 4 inch touchscreen, front and rear facing camera phone that may just be the best phone available on Tracfone yet.

We will share all the details about this new phone, including features and specs, below and share our general thoughts on the Samsung Galaxy Ace Style including how it compares to some of the other options from Tracfone.

Tracfone is a low cost prepaid service and cell phone provider in America and the Samsung Galaxy Ace Style is one of the latest phones to be made available. It isn't out yet, but we will keep you updated with any changes.

The LG Optimus Fuel is another phone coming now available for Tracfone, with Android 4.4. Follow the link to learn more about it, or visit our Cell Phone Reviews page to learn more about each of the Android phones available from Tracfone.

Time to take a look at the features and specs for the Samsung Galaxy Ace Style

What to Expect for the Samsung Galaxy Ace Style (S765C)

As we mentioned above, this Samsung phone comes with several features many Tracfone users will be excited to have including a 4 inch touchscreen, Android 4.3 and front and rear cameras.

Many users have expressed a desire for a phone with a screen larger than 3.8 inches, which is currently available through Tracfone's LG Optimus Dynamic II, and the Galaxy Ace Style appears to deliver just that with a 4 inch screen that gives a 480 x 800 resolution (233ppi).

The Samsung S765C will be for use on Verizon's CDMA 3G network, as are all of Tracfone's Android devices at this time. For more about CDMA, read our CDMA vs GSM guide.

Here is a list of expected features:

The phone also has Android 4.3 (some reporting possibly Android 4.4) which is a fairly recent version, and gives users access to thousands of apps via Google Play.

Overall we are very excited for when this phone comes out. It brings a number of features many people have been hoping to be able to get while sticking with Tracfone service. Look for our full review once the phone is available

While the Samsung Galaxy Ace Style isn't available for Tracfone yet, but has been spotted for Straight Talk, which would indicate it is coming to Tracfone very soon. Price is expected to be above $100, and more likely around $150. This is a little steep, but considering this phone has some of the best specs for a Tracfone yet, most people will be willing to pay.

LG L34C Optimus Fuel - Now Available on Tracfone!

LG Optimus Fuel Android Smartphone

LG L34C - Optimus Fuel Coming Soon

UPDATE: The LG Optimus Fuel has been spotted on eBay, Amazon and also the Tracfone website! See below for links.

We will be updating with a full review in the near future!

A new Android smartphone, the LG L34C, is coming to Tracfone. We will share some of the expected features and specs for the phone, and keep you updated on news about this phone. As of September 24th, 2014, the LG Optimus Fuel is now available on eBay. (see the link above to check it out).

While we have known about this phone for some months now, we do want to give anyone who might not know a heads up in case you are looking for more cell phone options. We also want to provide more information on the LG L34C for those who might be looking forward to it.

The LG L34C will be coming to Tracfone, a prepaid cell phone and service provider that specializes in low cost phones and service options. Over the last year, Tracfone has released a handful of smartphones for use on their network. All of the phones so far use Android OS, and run on Verizon CDMA cell phone towers.

You can learn more about the other smartphones available from Tracfone by visiting our Cell Phone Reviews page and browsing the reviews.

Now, let's take a closer look at the LG L34C

What to Expect from the LG L34C - Features and Specs

The LG L34C, also known as the LG Optimus Fuel, is a touchscreen Android powered smartphone. It is fairly similar in some ways to the LG Optimus Dynamic II (LG L39C) that Tracfone released a few months back. But it has one big difference we are really excited about.

The LG L34C is expected to run Android 4.4 KitKat - the latest operating system. None of the other smartphones from Tracfone use the latest OS. Android 4.4 is reported to have better efficiency and power usage, and it is always good to have the latest operating system.

Features for the LG Optimus Fuel:

• Android 4.4
• Verizon 3G
• WiFi
• GPS
• Triple Minutes for Life
• 3MP Camera
• MP3 Player
• Bluetooth
• Many other Tracfone features like Voicemail, Caller ID Etc.

LG L34C Technical Specs:

• Size: 4.3" x 2.32" x 0.47"
• Screen: 3.5" IPS Touchscreen
• 1.2 Ghz processor
• 512 MB RAM
• 4 GB internal memory
• Up to 32 GB external via Micro SD
• Weight: 4 oz
• Battery: 10 Hours talk time, 11 days standby

The features and specs for the LG L34C give us a better idea of what this phone has to offer and it does have some great features, specifically the Android 4.4 operating system, but the screen size is only 3.5 inches, and the camera is nothing to get excited about.

The screen is the same size as several of Tracfone's other devices like the ZTE Valet, and Samsung Galaxy Centura. The Optimus Dynamic II has a slightly larger screen at 3.8 inches.

The LG Optimus Fuel has just now become available, on eBay and Amazon, the version for Straight Talk has been available for some months now. We have also found the phone on Tracfone.com, listed for $80.

The LG Optimus Fuel is available with and without minutes:

Get the LG Optimus Fuel for $58.99 (plus shipping) on Amazon.

Get the LG Optimus Fuel for $58.99 on eBay.

Get the LG Optimus Fuel with 600 Minutes for $80 on eBay

Get the LG Optimus Fuel with 1200 Minutes for $120 on eBay

We will continue to update this as we get information about the LG L34C, and be sure to leave a comment with any questions or things you have found. At this time, the LG Optimus Fuel is not listed on the Tracfone website, but they usually lag behind in listing new phones.

To learn more about this phone, you can view the LG L34C Tutorials or the LG L34C User Manual (100+ pg PDF).

If you're looking for a smartphone to use with Tracfone, visit our Tracfone BYOP page where we give you information on the 'Bring Your Own Phone' to Tracfone program, and a list of compatible phones including both Android and Apple devices.

There is also another phone coming to Tracfone soon, the Samsung Galaxy Ace Style, with a 4 inch touchscreen and both front and rear facing cameras.

Moto EX431G Tracfone Review

Review of the MotoGO EX431G from Tracfone

This review will provide the specs and technical details, likes and dislikes, buying tips and overall review for the Tracfone Motorola EX 431G by de9w2dsl.

Moto EX431G Review

Tracfone Wireless is a prepaid cell phone service provider that offers low cost cell phones and service throughout America.

The Moto EX431G is a full QWERTY keyboard phone from Tracfone for use on their nationwide prepaid service. It is used on GSM networks, most commonly AT&T (We will cover more on the GSM network further on).

This is not a new phone, and does not use a standard operating system, but it does deliver on durability, low cost, and easy to use.

Let's take a look at the features and specs for the Moto EX431G

Moto EX431G Features and Specs

The MotoGO comes with many of the standard Tracfone features:

• Full QWERTY Keyboard
• Double/Triple Minutes (See below for more information)
• 2MP Camera
• MP3 Player
• Compatible with MicroSD Card (up to 32GB)
• Mobile Web
• Bluetooth wireless technology
• Hands-Free Speaker
• FM Radio
• 500 Entry Phone Book
• Voicemail, Caller ID, Call Waiting, 
• Hearing Aid Compatible
• Alarm Clock 

Moto Ex431G Specs and Technical details:

• Size: 4.1 x 2.5 inches
• .5 inches thick
• 3.3 ounces
• 2.2 inch TFT screen
• Battery: 8 Days Standby, 4 Hours Talk Time

The Motorola EX431G comes with some great features that make it a good choice for texting and everyday use. It is fairly similar to other Tracfone devices like the LG 500G and LG 530G.

This phone, as the name suggest, comes from the American mobile phone company, Motorola, which was recently acquired by Google.

Important Note: It is important to be aware that there are two option for the Moto EX431G, one with Double Minutes for Life, and the other for Triple Minutes for Life. At this time, you can only buy the Double Minutes version on the Tracfone website, but you can get the Triple Minutes Moto EX431G on Amazon. Be sure you read the details about this phone when you go to buy it.

Next we will go into our likes and dislikes for the phone.

Moto EX431G Likes and Dislikes

Starting with our Likes:

Moto EX431G Menu

The Moto EX431G is a sturdy phone with some key features we really like about it including Triple Minutes for Life, QWERTY keyboard, and super low price.

Triple Minutes is a great deal with Tracfone. It means that for every minute you purchase and add to the phone, you get three. So if you buy a 60 Minute card, you will get 180 minutes total! And don't forget to use a Promo Code for even more minutes.

Remember that some versions of this phone only come with Double Minutes, so look carefully when buying this phone to be sure you get Triple Minutes.

The QWERTY keyboard on the Moto EX431G is probably one of the best features about this phone. It makes for fast and easy texting, although for those inexperienced with QWERTY keypads it may take some time to adjust to the small key size. If you tend to prefer larger keys, like the Alcatel Big Easy phone, then this might not work for you.

Finally, The price for the Moto EX431G is nearly unbeatable. This phone doesn't have the most advanced features, but it does give great value. It is currently $10 on the Tracfone websites (for the Double Minutes version) but you can get the Triple Minutes Moto EX431G on Amazon for $8.

Moto EX431G Dislikes

There are a few things we don't really like about the MotoGO, and will mention them here to help give you a better idea of what this phone has to offer. We will start with the Mobile Web.

This phone comes with Mobile Web, which allows you to surf the web from the phone. But it does go through minutes quickly, and is hardly worth it. Perhaps the most you will want to do is download new ringtones.

Another problem with the Mobile Web on the Motorola Ex431G is that the top right button is a shortcut to open Mobile Web from the home-screen. And each time you accidentally hit that button you are charged 0,5 minutes. It is annoying, but most will become accustomed to avoiding that button.

The MotoGO uses its own operating system which means it won't run Android apps like Tracfone's other smartphone devices. But this isn't so much a dislike as a heads up, if you're expecting a lot of additional features, look into our reviews of the Android Tracfone devices or Using an iPhone with Tracfone.

Overall, we don't have many dislikes for the Motorola Ex431G. It is a simple phone that provides good features and performance. It is a good choice for either a backup/emergency phone, or for those who enjoy saving money on cell phone service.

Overview and Final Thoughts on the Moto EX431G

The Moto EX431G is a good phone with great features and a nearly unbeatable price.

It runs on the GSM network, which many people might prefer if AT&T and T-Mobile service is strong in their area. (for more on what GSM means, read our guide to GSM Vs. CDMA)

At just $8 on Amazon for the Moto EX431G with Triple Minutes, if you have a phone with double minutes you should seriously consider switching.

Looking for a minutes bundle? Check out the Moto EX431G with Triple Minutes and 600 minute bundle on eBay for just $20!

iOS 8...A Preview.

Are you comfortable with iOS 7 yet?  If not, lets hope you get there, and quick!  Because iOS 8 is right around the corner!  On Monday during the Keynote of the WWDC Apple gave us a preview of the fantastic things coming our way this fall in iOS 8, and there are many!

Among the features that have me most stoked, are the awesome features that allow Apps to share data, or what I will refer to the Unification of your Apple technology.  Imagine you are in your home office, located on the lower level of your house.  Your iPhone is upstairs in your bedroom.  iPhone rings, and so does your iMac!  That's right, your Mac's (running Yosemite) will have the ability to answer calls from your iPhone!  Whoa, want to run that by me again fella??  You read correctly.  Oh, and did I mention that your iPad can answer that call coming into the iPhone as well?  There are some caveats to the above, your devices need to be on the same wireless network for that incredible feature to work.  You'll also be able to start an email on your Mac, and finish it on your iOS device, or vice versa, very cool indeed.  One of my favorite new features is iCloud Drive.  Apple's looooong overdue attempt to bring iCloud to the mainstream user.  iCloud Drive will add many new Dropbox/Google Drive like features.  For starters you'll be able to upload any file type to your iCloud Drive, and you can do it easily on your Mac using Finder!  Apple didn't announce an iCloud Drive app for the iPhone or iPad, but I can't imagine it's far behind.  For now, on your iPhone or iPad you'll have to go into the App the uses the particular file to open it.

Within iMessage, Apple has revealed a new push-to-talk, as well as push-to-video feature that's akin to those same services within the very popular WhatsApp and the Voxer App.  

There's interactive Notifications, which from the looks of it will be very useful.  If you get a message while you are creating a presentation in Keynote, and don't feel like going to the Messages app, you'll be able to reply directly from the Message Notification, that is cool!

There are some great updates to the Mail app, as well as Spotlight Search that I think you'll find incredibly useful

There's also a new native feature on the iOS keyboard that Apple is calling QuickType, that uses "language models" to predict words before they are typed.  How long till an App can type what I'm thinking!!  Yikes I bet that's not too far off my friends...:).  

There's a new feature called Mark-Up, which is an extension to both Mail and Safari that let's you edit attachments by drawing on them.  I'll wait to make any judgements till I use this feature.  

Here's another great feature that should help in your everyday life.  Perhaps not right away, but definitely in the long haul, Apple's new HealthKit App.  Consider it a one stop shop for all your health data that other Apps currently collect, like Jawbone's UP.  Apple has teamed up with key partners, including Mayo Clinic to help you keep track of measurements that matter most to you.  

Lastly (for now), Siri has even gotten smarter.  This is a good thing, because I've started to use Google's Now feature (found in the Google App) on my iPhone because I've found it works far better than Siri.

There will be plenty more to information on iOS 8 in the coming months prior to it's eventual release (early fall 2014).  I'd love to hear from you as to the features you are most excited about.

Until next time, best to you and your devices!
