LG Esteem Now Official on MetroPCS' 4G LTE Network

MetroPCS has just announced a new smartphone that is being added to its series of LTE-capable devices, namely the LG Esteem, and Android-powered smartphone that leaked not too long ago.

The new LG Esteem 4G LTE Android smartphone comes to the market with a nice range of features and capabilities, as well as with a series of music and multimedia applications like Rhapsody Unlimited Music and MetroSTUDIO.

Running under Google's Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) operating system, the new mobile phone sports a sleek design, and can easily prove a great option for all users who are style-conscious.

“LG Esteem is the ideal device for entertainment savvy consumers looking for on-the-go content and the latest Android technology,” said Tim O'Brien, vice president of marketing for LG Mobile.

“Together with the MetroPCS 4GLTE network, LG Esteem provides users with a wide variety of features not previously accessible to no-annual-contract mobile consumers and delivers a truly enhanced user experience.”

The specifications list of the new device includes a large 4.3-inch touchscreen display, along with a fast 1GHz application processor, and a 5-megapixel photo snapper with support for HD video recording capabilities.

The mobile phone also comes to the market with 8GB of internal memory, and with a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space.

At the same time, the new device comes with Dolby Mobile Surround 7.1 and a Corning Gorilla Glass Screen Protector, and offers support for the wireless carrier's 4G LTE service.

The new device is set to become available for purchase at the wireless carrier with a price tag of $249 (around 182 Euros) plus tax, after a mail-in rebate. It will feature this cost through January 1, 2012.

“Plus, customers purchasing the LG Esteem will receive Rhapsody Unlimited Music FREE for 90 days through a limited time promotional offer when they activate the $50 4GLTE service plan,” the wireless carrier announced.
