[http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/12/metro.jpg](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/06/metropcs-samsung-galaxy-admire-4g/) Perhaps it's because the holiday season is well upon us, but MetroPCS decided now was the perfect time to welcome Samsung's Galaxy Admire 4G to its [growing portfolio](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/21/metropcs-outs-lg-motion-4g-in-tandem-with-unlimited-all-you-can/) of wallet-friendly handsets. With today's introduction of the [overhauled Admire](http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/10/metropcs-intros-the-samsung-admire-to-usher-the-younguns-back-i/), the Wireless for All carrier is surely expanding on its [LTE-on-a-budget](http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/03/metropcs-tweaks-lte-plans-40-gets-you-unlimited-talk-text-an/) promise, as the device comes priced at a mere $169 (and that's without a *beloved* two-year commitment, of course). Naturally, this means we can't expect many high-end, drool-inducing specs onboard, but that's not to say some folks out there won't appreciate the 3.65-inch, HVGA display, a 1GHz CPU, 3-megapixel rear shooter and a taste of Google's famed Gingerbread -- after all, there's always that [other galactic brethren](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/20/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-for-metropcs-hands-on-video/) if you're interested in getting more bang for your buck. The Samsung Galaxy Admire 4G will be up for grabs starting today on the [MetroPCS](http://www.engadget.com/tag/metropcs/) website, while those looking to stop at nearby brick-and-mortar shop are going to have to wait until tomorrow to pick one up.**Gallery: [Samsung Galaxy Admire 4G for MetroPCS](http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-admire-4g-for-metropcs/)**
