The original LG Lucid (http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/27/lg-lucid-verizon-lte-official/) came to Verizon just a little over a year ago as a midrange device, and today we got word that its sequel, the Lucid2 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/04/lg-f5-verizon-lucid2-press-shots/) (VS870), is now ready to show up in similar capacity. Said to be Big Red's version of the LG Optimus F5 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/25/lg-optimus-f7-f5-hands-on/), the device is aimed at the first-time smartphone buyer and is available online for free (with a two-year commitment) beginning April 4th, while retail availability will be in the coming weeks. Among its boasted features are a Starter Mode with a simplified UI -- much like what we've seen on Pantech phones recently -- as well as a 5MP rear camera, 4.3-inch qHD IPS display, 2,460mAh battery, Android 4.1.2, unspecified 1.2GHz Snapdragon S4 processor, 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage. Wireless charging will also be available if you purchase a separate battery cover for $40. Hit the press release below for more specs and details.
Note: The press release gives two online availability dates (today and April 4th) but LG has confirmed to us that the former is simply a typo.
