AT&T’s launching another smartphone this Friday for those of you on a budget. The LG G3 Vigor will be available September 26th for $334.99 with no contract, $13.96 a month with Next 18, $16.75 a month with Next 12 or $49.99 with a new two-year contract. The LG G3 Vigor can be seen as the miniature version of LG’s 2014 flagship. Its size scales down to a 5-inch form factor, and many of the other specs are scaled down to match. Here’s what you can expect:
- Display: 5.0-inch HD (1280 x 720) IPS Display
- Battery Capacity: 2,540 mAh
- Platform: Android 4.4 KitKat
- Technology: GSM, LTE, HD Voice
- Processor: Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 1.2 GHz Quad-Core
- Camera: 8 megapixel rear camera with laser autofocus; 1.3 megapixel front camera
- Network: GSM Quad Band / UMTS Tri Band / LTE
- Frequencies: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz; UMTS 850/1900/2100; LTE Bands 2/4/5/17, Roaming Bands 1/3/7; CA
- Data Transmission: GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSPA+, LTE
- Dimensions: 5.42-inch (H) x 2.74-inch (W) x 0.39-inch (D)
- Weight: 4.7 oz.
- Talk Time: up to 17.5 hours8
- Standby Time: up to 26 days and 11 hours8
- Internal Memory: 8 GB (up to 3.70 GB usable memory); supports microSD™ card up to 32 GB9
You’ll no doubt be entitled to LG’s usual goods on top of that KitKat installation, including Knock Code, QuickMemo+ and QSlide. Not too shabby if you don’t quite have the budget to spring for the bigger, older brother. Let us know if you’ll be grabbing one once they’re on store shelves later this week.
yet another exclusive for sh!t&t
They’ve REALLY screwed those of us that got PadFone X’s.
What happened with the PadFone X? I was contemplating getting that at one point.
I’ll give you links to the XDA threads… TLDR is that the tablet dock actually burns out the LTE antenna, microphones are defective, etc., and AT&T is refusing to accept returns. I was told to pay for the phone in full despite it being defective. Here’s a few threads on it.

Thanks for the reply William. The build quality sounds like Asus $h!t the bed but shame on ATT for not handling it at the store!
I agree. While I’m still a HUGE Asus fan for computer hardware, unless Asus is willing to work with me on this since it is costing me around $380-480, I’m not buying any more Android hardware from them. AT&T has permanently lost my business. I’ll be paying my ETF’s as soon as TMO gets the Sony Z3.
Passing along just in case you didn’t know.. Even better, let T-Mobile pay the ETF.

That’s the plan. Waiting for Godot… I mean the Sony Z3.
