T-Mobile introduced last January the inexpensive LG
Aristo for US$ 144, an Android smartphone that was picked up by MetroPCS as well
for just US$ 60 (after rebate). It appears the Uncarrier was content with how LG's
budget-friendly smartphone performed throughout the year, and now plans to
offer a sequel.
The LG Aristo 2 is expected to arrive at T-Mobile
and MetroPCS within the next couple of weeks and while we don't have any
information about the price, we have no reason to believe it will be more
expensive than the previous model.
LG
Aristo 2 is supposed to pack a 1.4GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 425
processor, 2GB RAM and 16GB expandable storage. The smartphone will ship with
Android 7.1.2 Nougat on board and will feature a standard 5-inch display with
HD (720p) resolution, along with a 2,410 mAh removable battery.
The information above is taken directly from the
phone's sales package, but the user manual of the LG Aristo 2 was leaked online
as well, so we're pretty confident it will be made official pretty soon.
