LG Phoenix 2
AT&T today announced the release of
LG Phoenix 2, a brand new Android handset that succeeds the original LG Phoenix
(launched way back in 2011).
The Phoenix 2 looks strikingly similar
to the LG Tribute 5 (aka LG K7), which can be bought from Sprint, T-Mobile,
Boost Mobile, and MetroPCS. However, AT&T's LG Phoenix 2 comes with some
upgraded features: the handset runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, and
sports a 5-inch HD (720 x 1280 pixels) display - while the Tribute 5 / K7 runs
Android Lollipop and has a 5-inch screen with just 480 x 854 pixels. That
aside, this is not a device that will impress too many customers, as it's
powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 210 processor, further offering 1 GB of RAM,
a 5 MP front-facing camera, an 8 MP rear camera, and a 2,125 mAh battery.
The LG Phoenix 2 should be available
online later today, as a GoPhone from AT&T.com, costing US$ 99.99. The
smartphone will also be sold via various retailers starting May 14. If you want
to get the LG Phoenix 2 from brick and mortar stores, you'll have to wait until
June 10.
