Sprint today announced a brand new smartphone made
by LG - the LG Tribute Dynasty. As expected, the LG Tribute Dynasty is a low-end device that's made for users who don't want to
spend more than US$ 100 on a new phone.
Sporting a
5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels, the LG Tribute Dynasty is powered by an
octa-core MediaTek processor, coming with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of expandable
storage space. The handset further features 4G LTE connectivity, a 5MP
front-facing camera, an 8 MP rear camera, and a 2,500 mAh removable battery.
Unfortunately, the Tribute Dynasty currently runs Android 7.1 Nougat, and it's
not clear if it's going to be updated to Android 8 Oreo.
In case you're wondering, what seems to be a
fingerprint scanner on the back of the LG Tribute Dynasty is likely just a
power button, as there's no mention of a fingerprint sensor among the phone's
features.
Sprint will
start selling the LG Tribute Dynasty on January 12 for US$ 99. But the new
smartphone can already be bought from Boost Mobile - one of Sprint's prepaid
brands - for just US$ 59.99 (plus tax). The handset will also be available via
Virgin Mobile, although it's not clear when this will happen.
