At the moment, the smartphone market is dominated by a pack of more powerful and more capable handsets such as the Samsung Galaxy S IV and the HTC One. This new breed of superphones comes with very impressive resumes made up of remarkable and fire-breathing components under their respective hoods thereby making them very popular with the smartphone-buying public. And with the entry of these handsets to the smartphone competition, the once powerful devices of 2012 are now on their way out to retirement to give way to the best of 2013.
The LG Optimus G 4G is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $0.01.
However, this also means that those looking to score a slightly aging yet still very capable device at a much cheaper price point can now do so because carriers tend to slash the price of these handsets once a newer handset makes its entry into the market.
Take the case of the LG Optimus G for example. The handset was once the flagship device of LG and was considered to be the one handset that challenged the superiority of the Samsung Galaxy S III last year and gave the Samsung flagship a serious run for its money. In fact, the LG Optimus G matched the Samsung Galaxy S III spec for spec and it also reached a level of popularity that made AT&T and Sprint release their respective variants of the handset in US shores.
And now, if you are looking to get your hands on a still very capable device on the cheap and don’t mind having AT&T for your wireless provider for the next two years, you might want to put the LG Optimus G at the top of your short list. As it stands, AT&T currently has a deal that will let you get your hands on the LG Optimus G for a price point that is almost free provided that you purchase the handset from AT&T-authorized online retailers and sign a new two-year service agreement with the carrier.
Though the LG Optimus G is no longer the hottest handset or the most powerful out there, it still is a great buy for this price since carriers only give you low-end handset for free for that matter. And for a once flagship device like the LG Optimus G, its price point of almost free is just unbeatable and hard to ignore at the moment.
For those who want to know more about the resume of the LG Optimus G, the operation of the handset is powered by a QualComm APQ8064 SnapDragon S4 chipset while the computing muscle it requires is generated by its quad-core 1.5 GHz Krait processor and 2GB of RAM. Though the handset only has 16GB of onboard storage, the LG Optimus G comes with a microSD card slot in its chassis and has a preinstalled 16GB microSD card for memory expansion purposes. Its display on the other hand is a 4.7-inch True HD IPS Plus LCD panel with a 1280 x 768 resolution while its camera department features a rear 8MP shooter and a front 1.3MP snapper for video calls and self-portraits.
The LG Optimus G 4G can be purchased at a discounted price tag now starting at $0.01.
