So far, very little information has been released about the Admire 2. During my brief time with it, I learned that it runs on Android 4.1.2 Jeally Bean, and has Samsung's TouchWiz interface layered on top.
In addition to a front-facing camera, it has a 5-megapixel camera in the rear that's capable of shooting 720p video. It will run on Cricket's 4G LTE network and will include the carrier's music subscription service, Muve Music Lastly, it's battery includes NFC.
Though processor specs remain unknown, the Admire 2 operated fast and smooth while I was swiping through the home screen pages, opening a few apps, and taking photos. If it's anything like the more recent Galaxy Admire 4G, the Admire 2 could be packing at least a 1GHz CPU, if not higher.
Outlook
Cricket is making a deliberate push to bring in more higher-end mid-tier devices to its prepaid customers. The Admire 2 fits perfectly well with such ambitions, as it brings just enough goods without (presumably), breaking the bank. Obviously its appeal will depend heavily on the final pricing, but if the handset were to stay around the $129~$150 range, it'd be an excellent option for Cricket users.
