The Galaxy Victory is a mid-range device with a dual-core processor and 4G LTE connectivity, for a low price of $99, aimed at those looking for an affordable yet powerful LTE-enabled smartphone.

Available from September 16th, the Galaxy Victory will cost $99 for new customers on a 2-year contract, and for upgrading customers after a $50 mail-in rebate. It will also feature NFC for touch payments via Google Wallet, which will be preloaded on the device.

Here are the announced specs of the Galaxy Victory 4G LTE:

  • 1.2 GHz dual-core processor
  • 4″ display
