LG Optimus LTE Tag heading to Sprint?

[pyroscott]

LG has added NFC to it's Optimus LTE and added "tag" to the phone name. This could be to satisfy Sprint's desire to have all LTE phones also have NFC capability. It also could be because it is a neat feature. The Optimus LTE Tag will allow the user to set up special stickers that will change the phone's settings to your preset for that "tag". You can have one at your desk that turns the phone to silent, another in your car that sets the phone to silence text message notifications or read you the texts, another on your nightstand that silences everything but alarms.

 

The phone's specs are:

o Chipset: 1.2GHz Dure-Core processor

o Display: 4.3-inch (800 x 480) IPS

o Memory: 16GB eMMC

o Camera: 5.0MP with AF-LED Flash (Rear) & 1.3MP (Front)

o OS: Android 2.3 Gingerbread

o Battery: 1,700mAh

o Others: LG Tag+, MHL(Mobile High Definition Link), DLNA(Digital Living Network Alliance)

 

The only thing that sticks out to me is the screen resolution. The 800x400 resolution is a far cry from the LG Spectrum, it's too bad they didn't use the same screen from that. The rest of the specs are not mind blowing, but it looks like the typical midrange LG phone that works for most Android users like the Optimus S.

Sounds like a decent mid grade device. And with NFC, its all that much better. Would be a great fit in the Sprint line up.

Google has been pushing NFC for their Google Wallet.

with the LG Viper being an LTE launch device.. i'm finding it hard to believe we'd see another LG LTE device so soon(on Sprint).

I agree with Autoprime. The Optimus LTE is basically the Viper
