LG Optimus F7 (LG870) coming to Boost Mobile

Yesterday the LG VS870 passed the FCC headed to Verizon with support for their LTE 700MHz C Block. On November 9, 2012 the LG MS870 passed thru the FCC with support for LTE bands 2, 4, & 25, and is heading to Metro PCS & Cricket, and still includes support for Sprint's LTE band.

If history is any indication, the LG model 840 phone was released on Metro PCS as the Connect, Verizon as the Lucid, and Sprint as the Viper, so the 870 model could be coming to Sprint soon.

Thanks. And it doesn't have SVDO either.

 

On the HAC key feature letter, it lists that it will have Bluetooth 4.0 & 1x Advanced. It also lists CDMA835? What is that? Is that a new way to designate CDMA Band class 10?

You can keep knocking on that door, Josh, but SVDO doesn't live here anymore.

No, that is band class √100.

Hey, I don't miss SVDO, and with the iPhone I won't have SVLTE, but I think I'll survive.

 

As for the square root of 100, hahaha. Nice try to trick me, lol

BC10, EVDO A 25.20 dBm

BC0, EVDO A 26.26 dBm

LTE 5MHz QPSK 24.93 dBm

LTE 5MHz 16QAM 24.35 dBm

LTE 10MHz QPSK 24.38 dBm

LTE 10MHz 16QAM 24.70 dBm

 

Rumor had this as possibly the Boost FX1, based off the LG Optimus L7.

 

Prelim specs are Wifi ABGN 2.4GHz & 5GHz because of the FCC filing, NFC.

 

SVLTE only. And LTE hotspot over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only.

Update: Sprint & Boost officially announced June 27th availability of the LG Optimus F7 (LG870) for $299.99 plus tax. Hopefully an update to the Wall article will happen today.

 

Here is a direct link to Sprint's article, and to LG's official LG870 page.

Hey, your prediction took only six months to come true. I have a prediction, too. In six months, the weather will be cold. And you can take that to the bank.

 

:P

Just purchased this phone and compared it side by side to a display LG Optimus G for sprint .... very identical except the F7 has a dual core, physical home button and camera placement (8mp) but other then that just based on appearances they look alike with the same screen and form factor.

 

 

This phone is a really decent deal and since I already had a 32gb sd card picking this over the galaxy s3 saved me 100.00 (or 2 months service on Boost) 

 

only down side this phone is lacking developers for custom roms and other stuff compaired to the s3

    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

    • FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
