improved displays, enhanced LTE Web surfing and new selfie capabilities
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- (Business Wire)
Two of last year’s hottest phones are returning with some exciting new
updates. Available now from Boost Mobile, LG Tribute 2™ and LG Volt 2™
are the second generation of their respective LG family lines and
include LG’s signature Rear-Key and slim and sleek design, coupled with
new powerful performance and fun selfie features.
LG Tribute 2 is available at www.boostmobile.com/tribute2
for $99.99 (plus tax), and LG Volt 2 is available at www.boostmobile.com/volt2
for $149.99 (plus tax).
Both smartphones offer a 1.2GHz quad-core processor and access to
enhanced LTE for high-speed Web surfing. Other key features available on
both devices include:
-
Knock Code™ for a personalized knock sequence to wake and
unlock your phone
-

Wi-Fi® Connectivity – 802.11 b/g/n
LG Tribute 2
LG Tribute 2 offers a 4.5-inch IPS display with 854x480 resolution
versus the first LG Tribute, which offered a 4.5-inch WVGA (Wide VGA)
display with 800x480 resolution. This larger screen is an ideal size for
viewing content in vibrant, genuine color. Improved battery performance1
with LG Tribute 2 comes from a 1,900mAh battery that offers up to 16
hours of talk time.
“The customer response to LG Tribute and LG Volt was tremendous, and
they were two of Boost Mobile’s hottest smartphones in 2014,” said
Angela Rittgers, vice president-Marketing, Boost Mobile. “We felt that
with updates to the operating system, displays and cameras, the second
generation would offer two great new options for customers looking to
upgrade their smartphone experience.”
LG Volt 2
LG Volt 2 is upgraded to a 5-inch high-definition IPS display with
1,280x720 resolution, improving the 4.7-inch qHD (quarter
high-definition) display with 960x540 resolution featured on the initial
LG Volt. This upgrade offers Boost Mobile customers a more vibrant and
genuine viewing experience. The front-facing camera has been upgraded to
5 megapixels from 1.3 megapixels, and the rear-facing camera captures
photos in 8 megapixels.
LG Tribute 2 and LG Volt 2 are built on Android™ 5.1, Lollipop. The
latest version of Android offers several important upgrades over the
Android 4.4, KitKat, operating system available on predecessor
smartphones:
-
Battery saver mode detects when the battery is low and adjusts device
usage to extend battery life.
-
Notifications are prioritized and can be viewed, opened and responded
to from the lock screen, making it quicker and easier to respond.
-
The newest version of Lollipop also makes it easier to connect to
Wi-Fi networks and paired Bluetooth devices with the ability to manage
connections through the Quick Settings menu.
-
For the security-conscious, Android 5.1 security enhancements prevent
a would-be thief from factory resetting the smartphone without the
Google profile password used to provision the device.
