Verizon Announces The Spectrum 2 By LG For $99 After Mail-In-Rebate

Posted by in News, Spectrum 2, Verizon Wireless

About a week ago, we got a look at the LG Spectrum 2 and all of its innards thanks to Best Buy. Now, Verizon has made it official. It's not going to rock any socks off, but for $99 after mail-in-rebate and a new two-year contract, it's really not a bad piece of kit:

  • 4.7" True HD 1280x720 IPS display
  • 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4
  • 1GB RAM
  • 16GB storage, microSD card slot
  • Global Ready
  • 8MP rear shooter, 1.3MP front camera
  • Android 4.0

It's not winning any awards for most stylish, best all around, or... anything else, for that matter. But it is a solid mid-ranger that might fit the bill perfectly for anyone looking for a new device that packs a punch and won't break the bank.

LG Spectrum 2 And Samsung Stratosphere 2 On Their Way To Verizon, Details Scarce

Posted by in Leaks, LG, News, Samsung, Verizon Wireless

While the original Stratosphere is in line to get a kinda-sorta ICS-esque update, it looks like its successor is already in the pipeline for VZW. Unoriginally dubbed the Stratosphere 2, the device carries the same slide-out QWERTY and 4" Super AMOLED display as its predecessor; other than that, details are pretty non-existent. We probably wouldn't be too off base to assume it'll have some sort of dual-core processor and around 1GB of RAM, but past that, it's hard to say.

The Stratosphere isn't the only mid-range device getting an upcoming re-hash, either. The LG Spectrum 2 also landed in Verizon's equipment guide, but this one's even more mysterious than the Strat 2.
