According to PocketNow,
a smartphone by the name of LG Optimus Elite is to launch on Sprint and
Virgin Mobile. What we are dealing with here is the U.S. version of the
LG Optimus Net, which was announced back in July of 2011 alongside the LG Optimus Pro, and its presumably meant to replace the aging LG Optimus S.
However,
"Elite" is probably the last word one would associate the upcoming
smartphone with after checking out its specs sheet. The LG Optimus Elite
has a 3.2-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 320 by 480 pixels, and
inside it runs an 800MHz single-core processor. You also get a
3-megapixel auto-focus camera, NFC, and the usual connectivity features
such as Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, and A-GPS. Android 2.3 Gingerbread is
running the show.
When it comes to pricing, we
don't really know how much the LG Optimus Elite will retail for, but
judging by its entry level nature, we doubt that it will burn a hole
through anyone's pocket.
