AT&T today started selling the LG Stylo 4+, a
new stylus-equipped Android Oreo smartphone that the carrier first showcased at
the beginning of the week. As its name suggests, the Stylo 4+ is an improved
version of the LG Stylo 4m recently released unlocked and via various US
carriers, including Cricket (AT&T's prepaid brand).
The main difference between the LG Stylo 4+ and the
non-plus variant lies in the fact that the former is dust- and water-resistant,
while the latter doesn't offer any kind of protection in this regard. Moreover,
the Stylo 4+ has a 16 MP rear camera, while the regular Stylo 4 comes with a 13
MP rear camera. Other than that, the two handsets offer similar features:
6.2-inch display with 1080 x 2160 pixels, fingerprint scanner, Snapdragon 450
processor, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage space, and a 3300 mAh battery.
Since smartphones with styluses are rare, the LG
Stylo 4+ can be seen as a cheaper, less powerful and not so feature-packed
alternative to Samsung's Galaxy Note 9, which costs at least US$ 999. AT&T is
selling the new LG handset for US$ 359.99, or US$ 12 per month over 30 months.
