LG is back on Windows Phone 8.1 with the LG Lancet

For a while there it seems that Microsoft is the only one making Windows Phone handsets. Smartphone brands like LG haven’t been making one in a very long time so it’s surprising they’ve created a Windows 8.1 handset now, although it’s currently exclusive to Verizon.

The Lancet is a pretty basic phone but with LTE capability. It runs on a Snapdragon 410 1.2GHz quad-core chip, 1GB RAM, has 8GB storage, 8MP rear camera on a 4.5-inch LCD display.

The XLTE-ready LG Lancet is only available for Verizon Wireless for $5PHP 293INR 424EUR 5CNY 36 a month but full retail price is set at $120PHP 7,042INR 10,170EUR 114CNY 873. We won’t be seeing the LG Lancet here but it’s still an indication that big brands like LG is still trying to come up with Windows Phone 8.1 handsets.
