LG K8 V
Verizon has announced its very own take
on the internationally available LG K8 smartphone today. It's called K8 V, and it will go up for pre-order on June 9.
The device sports a different design
from the vanilla K8, and some specs are modified too. The K8 V has a 5-inch
720p touchscreen, an 8 MP rear camera, a 5 MP selfie shooter, a 1.3 GHz
quad-core Qualcomm processor, 16 GB of built-in storage (expandable via
microSD), and a 2,125 mAh battery. It runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
It has a more squared look compared to
the international model, and replaces the MediaTek SoC in that one with a
Qualcomm unit. Otherwise, the two seem to be identical, even though Verizon
hasn't said anything about the RAM amount in its version, so that could differ
too. The normal K8 ships with 1.5 GB of memory.
The K8 V is being priced at US$ 144 full
retail. You can pick it up using a device payment plan by shelling out nothing
upfront, then followed by 24 monthly installments of US$ 6. It will become
available on June 16.
