Arriving April 22 as one of the first LTE capable phones on the Sprint 4G LTE wireless network, the LG Viper 4G Android smartphone delivers the Gingerbread operating system out-of-the-box. Delivering a cutting-edge wireless purchasing feature not found on many handsets with three digit price tags, the LG Viper 4G supports Near Frequency Communications (NFC) and Google Wallet. After storing a preferred payment method into your Viper 4G Google Wallet account, you merely tap your handset lightly against an NFC receiver at any participating retailer to pay for goods and services. Toys “R” Us, The Gap, Macy’s, CVS and Bloomingdale’s are just a few of the more common retailers to support NFC purchasing.

Offered at a retail price of $0.01 for a standard new two-year activation and data plan from select retailers, the LG Viper is also one of a select number of mobile devices that are considered to offer the highest level of Green consideration. Bearing the highest level of environmental performance any mobile device can carry, the LG Viper was awarded UL Environment (ULE) Platinum Certification by both Sprint and ULE.
The LG Viper 4G is capable of simultaneous voice and data access, meaning that you can surf the web, check your e-mail, and access music while in the middle of a voice call. Wireless-N Wi-Fi networking plus Sprint’s Mobile Hotspot support means that you can use the LG Viper as a wireless hub through the Sprint 3G/4G connection for up to five different Wi-Fi enabled devices.
In those areas where Sprint’s 4G LTE network is not yet established, backwards compatibility with the Sprint 3G network is offered, and Bluetooth version 3.0 wireless connectivity is also supported. The 4.00 inch WVGA NOVA touchscreen delivers a pixel density of 233 pixels per inch for an overall display resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. That TFT capacitive, multitouch display is protected by a layer of scratch resistant Gorilla Glass.
On board the LG Viper is a graphics dedicated processor, a dual core 1.2 GHz central processor, 4 GB of built-in, user accessible storage space and 1.0 GB of RAM system memory. The handset is designed with a microSD slot for off board data access and storage expansion, and a microUSB port also comes built-in. A 5.0 megapixel camcorder is located on the rear of the device, and joins a front facing 0.3 megapixel VGA chat cam in the camera combo. The LG Viper comes with extensive Google integration, including Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube and Google Talk. Buy the LG Viper starting at just one penny.
