The Galaxy Prevail is a device which has received mainly positive reviews from its owners. One of its main advantages that bodes well with the owners is its extensive app range; one that involves over 250,000 of them available for the galaxy Prevail. The Galaxy Prevail is a product of boost mobile and has a nice sleek design and contour shape. It is also unlike any other Galaxy phone in the range, unlike many were predicting.
