Two of last year’s hottest phones are returning with some
exciting new updates. Available now from Boost Mobile, LG Tribute
2™ and LG Volt 2™ are the second generation of their respective LG
family lines and include LG’s signature Rear-Key and slim and sleek
design, coupled with new powerful performance and fun selfie

LG Tribute 2
LG Tribute 2 offers a 4.5-inch IPS display with 854x480
resolution versus the first LG Tribute, which offered a 4.5-inch
WVGA (Wide VGA) display with 800x480 resolution. This larger screen
is an ideal size for viewing content in vibrant, genuine color.
Improved battery performance1 with LG Tribute 2 comes from a
1,900mAh battery that offers up to 16 hours of talk time.
“The customer response to LG Tribute and LG Volt was tremendous,
and they were two of Boost Mobile’s hottest smartphones in 2014,”
said Angela Rittgers, vice president-Marketing, Boost Mobile. “We
felt that with updates to the operating system, displays and
cameras, the second generation would offer two great new options
for customers looking to upgrade their smartphone experience.”
LG Volt 2
LG Volt 2 is upgraded to a 5-inch high-definition IPS display
with 1,280x720 resolution, improving the 4.7-inch qHD (quarter
high-definition) display with 960x540 resolution featured on the
initial LG Volt. This upgrade offers Boost Mobile customers a more
vibrant and genuine viewing experience. The front-facing camera has
been upgraded to 5 megapixels from 1.3 megapixels, and the
rear-facing camera captures photos in 8 megapixels.
LG Tribute 2 and LG Volt 2 are built on Android™ 5.1, Lollipop.
The latest version of Android offers several important upgrades
over the Android 4.4, KitKat, operating system available on
predecessor smartphones:
- Battery saver mode detects when the
battery is low and adjusts device usage to extend battery
life.
- Notifications are prioritized and can
be viewed, opened and responded to from the lock screen, making it
quicker and easier to respond.
- The newest version of Lollipop also
makes it easier to connect to Wi-Fi networks and paired Bluetooth
devices with the ability to manage connections through the Quick
Settings menu.
- For the security-conscious, Android 5.1
security enhancements prevent a would-be thief from factory
resetting the smartphone without the Google profile password used
to provision the device.
