14 DAY TRIAL // About a week ago, Verizon Wireless made available for purchase a new Android-powered smartphone on its LTE network, the LG Spectrum.
Released as the successor of last year’s LG Revolution, the new mobile phone is now available for only $79.99 with the signing of a two-year contract agreement.
Verizon launched the smartphone with a price tag of $199 attached to it, but the carrier’s retail partners considered it too expensive, it seems.
We’re referring here to Amazon, which has cut the price tag for this device down to only $79.99 (60 Euros). Of course, the signing of a contract agreement is still required.
In addition to a price cut, the new mobile phone also got a new software update. Verizon has just announced the release of a VS920ZV4 software update for the mobile phone, to fix a series of issues that it was affected by.
The wireless carrier writes in the release notes for the new firmware that the main change packed with it is a correction for the Netflix playback issue that affected the device before.
The new software update weighs only 10MB, and sports no other enhancement, nor some hidden new features, it seems.
The LG Spectrum was made available at Verizon with a 4.5-inch touchscreen display that can deliver a 720p HD resolution, and which features Corning Gorilla Glass protection.
The LG Spectrum is powered by a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 application processor inside, complemented by 1GB of RAM.
The handset also sports 4 GB of internal memory, along with a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space (a 16Gn card included in the package).
It also features an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with full HD video recording capabilities, along with LTE, 3G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity, Mobile Hotspot capabilities, and built-in GPS receiver.
