Verizon Announces the LG Lucid – March 29th for $80

Today – Tuesday, Verizon Wireless announced the LG Lucid, a mid-range and capable Android phone, for an affordable price. The phone, which runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread,  will be available beginning on March 29th for $79.99 with a new two-year contract. The Lucid is equipped with a 5-megapixel camera capable of recording 1080p video, 4G LTE support, a front-facing camera for video chats, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and Video Producer software for creating and editing HD videos on the fly.

The real grabber is the LTE capability (wireless hotspot for additional fee) and the price, a mere $80. Gingerbread is disappointing but Verizon has already promised an ICS upgrade in the near future.

About Web Ninja

I am an avid web designer and technology compelled me into journalism. My career started out with a blog about how to hack your Windows PC, but it developed into my love for Apple (which is now nonexistent). Before I was introduced to Android I was an Apple fanboy, I loved anything apple, iPhones, iPods, Macs, etc. Then, I was in Best Buy with a friend and he was buying a phone... An Android phone running Cupcake (1.6). He wasn't the techiest friend a guy could have, but he still loved technology. Now, this was a new phone at the time and of course, he had to get it. I thought the phone was going to be a ripoff of an iPhone but, soon I realized that it had potential. That's how my Android love developed. I currently own a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Sprint as well as an HTC Thunderbolt for Verizon.
