With Sprint ID packs users will receive personalized ringers, wallpapers and widgets. There's more to it, as LG Viper 4G LTE owners will receive 50GB of free cloud storage and sharing from LG by simply downloading Box app for Android.
Keep in mind that Box's 50 GB cloud storage offer is exclusive to LG devices and is only available until July 22.
Hardware-wise, the LG Viper is powered by a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor and packs 1 GB of RAM, and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB, 4GB memory card included).
