News about new mid-level phones?

[AndyfromVA]

Over the past couple of months I've been hoping that T-Mobile would release a new phone in the mid-level category that's as good as or better than the LG L9 for a similar price (or less). I plan to buy a couple of smartphones in August, though I can wait until September if I have to, and I can't afford the big guns - Galaxy S4, HTC One and the like, or even the Nexus 4. I had hopes for the Prism II but it's definitely a low end phone. The Samsung Exhibit looks more promising but it doesn't match the L9.

Has anyone heard anything about whether T-Mobile will be coming out with any mid-level phones over the next couple of months? Maybe the Galaxy S4 mini or one of the newer LG phones?

Moto X should be as mid-level as it is going to get, imo.

You may want to consider some of the "older" phones that still pack a wallop, like the Galaxy S3, Galaxy Nexus, or even the Nexus 4. For T-Mobile, also consider used phones. The HTC Amaze is still a good phone with a quality camera. It's much more powerful than the Exhibit.

HTC One Mini is expected to release August 3rd.
Galaxy S4 Mini is likely to be released around the same time.
A low cost IPhone is likely to be released sometime in September.

No official info has been released on any of these 3 phones however Their prices are likely to be ~$350.

A nice note, The HTC One Mini will feature a 720p 4.3" screen.
