If you’re looking for a relatively affordable handset that delivers respectable specifications on a prepaid carrier, Boost Mobile’s recently-announced ZTE Warp Sync might be up your alley.

The Warp Sync comes equipped with a 5-inch HD display that displays Android 4.4.2 KitKat in all its glory. Powering the handset is a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor and 2GB of RAM. The 8GB of internal storage might not give you enough room to store pictures and videos taken with the handset’s 8-megapixel rear-facing and 1.6-megapixel front-facing cameras, but the Warp Sync has a MicroSD slot that will take up to 64GB cards.

The ZTE Warp Sync joins several ZTE handsets on Boost Mobile, including the Boost Max and the Boost Warp 4G. It is currently available for $180.

Where do I even start with the Nokia 3210? Not the original, which was one of the coolest phones to own back in a time when Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace wasn’t even a thing, but the latest 2024 reissue that has come along to save us all from digital overload, the horror of social media, and the endless distraction that is the modern smartphone.

Except behind this facade of marketing-friendly do-goodery hides a weapon of torture, a device so foul that I’d rather sit through multiple showings of Jar Jar Binks and the gang hopelessly trying to bring back the magic of A New Hope than use it.
