Sprint’s LG G Flex arrives Jan 31st online, Feb 7th in-store for $300 contract or $150 down payment
Sprint has just announced that their version of the LG G Flex would be arriving to consumers starting January 31st, the very last day of this month. The device will only be available online at that point, though the in-store launch happens just a week later on February 7th. You can drop down $300 and sign a two-year contract to walk away with it.
Sprint is also allowing you to pay for the full device over 24 months’ time with a $150 down payment using Easy Pay (that’s $20.84 per month for 23 months). LG confirmed Sprint as one of the American carriers looking to launch this thing last week at CES (as well as T-Mobile and AT&T), and also confirmed that their version would come with Sprint Spark radios.
Sprint Spark is the name Sprint gave to their latest network upgrade that makes use of a third building-friendly spectrum to deliver faster and more reliable LTE data connections. That’s pretty much the length of Sprint’s own specializing in terms of hardware, as everything else inside is just as it was in the international version Here are the specs if you don’t remember:
