The upcoming MetroPCS LG Connect 4G is the second smartphone announced this year, after the Samsung Galaxy Attain 4G, to make its debut through the network carrier. The 4G LTE-enabled handset operates on a 1.2GHz dual core processor and is powered by the Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS.
The LG Connect 4G comes incorporated with a 4-inch 480 x 840p LCD capacitive multi-touch Nova display, coated with the Corning Gorilla Glass screen protector which promises to keep the device secure against everyday wear and tear. Users can get their daily dose of music by conveniently streaming tracks through the pre-installed Rhapsody Unlimited Music service.
“Our customers demand a stellar service and device experience and we’re excited to provide another option that allows them to enjoy entertainment, handle business and stay connected at an incredible overall value. We’re committed to meeting our customers’ changing needs and offering a full spectrum of handsets that fit every budget and lifestyle,” commented Tom Keys, president and COO of MetroPCS.
This handset boasts of a front facing camera for self portraits as well as seamless video conferencing. There is also a 5MP rear facing snapper with auto focus and LED flash which lets users take videos in 720p HD. Furthermore, the embedded Dolby Mobile feature enables audiophiles to groove to all their stored music in high quality sound.
The MetroPCS LG Connect 4G is scheduled to be available via the company’s stores as well as online at metropcs.com, next month. Its exact release date and price details are not yet known.
