Leaked last Monday, the LG Splendor has just been made official for US Cellular. A variant of the LG Optimus 7 — the LG Splendor features a hodgepodge of mid-range specs that are easy on the wallet. With a 4.3-inch display, 5MP rear/.3MP front facing cameras, 1GHz single-core processor, 2GB of internal storage for applications, 4GB microSD the Spledor wont be dropping any jaws, but at $80 with a 2-year agreement (and $100 mail-in rebate), it’s not going to break the bank either.
The LG Splendor can be found running Ice Cream Sandwich with LG’s all new, more minimally designed custom UI as a topping, and LG’s specialty apps like QuickMemo come pre-loaded. The device is available right now via US Cellular’s official website, and in-store on Wednesday.
This has almost the same specs as my 2 year old HTC Evo 4G, I wouldn’t buy this phone on contract, maybe $80 for Boost or Virgin, even ICS can’t make up for these outdated specs, it should be offered free on contract.
