LG Aristo hits US Cellular as K8 2017

LG Aristo is an affordable 4G LTE handset that arrived in the US back in January when T-Mobile and MetroPCS added it to their portfolios. Now, US Cellular is making it available to its customers as well, but using a different name - LG K8 2017.

According to US Cellular's website, the LG K8 2017 has the following specs and features:

• Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 SoC
• Memory/Storage: 1.5 GB RAM; 16 GB internal storage and microSD support
• Display: 5-inch HD In-Cell multitouch with 2.5D Arc Glass protection
• Cameras: 5 MP front, 8 MP back (13 MP according to LG US)
• Connectivity: 4G LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, micro USB
• Operating system: Android 7.0 Nougat
• Dimensions:5.7X2.83XX 0.31 inches
• Battery/Autonomy: 2,500 mAh (removable); more than 12 hours talk time and almost 15 days standby
• Colors: silver, gold, titan, dark blue

New US Cellular customers can get the LG K8 2017 for just $49.99 USD when acquired with a prepaid Simple Connect Plan. The original price of $150 USD also applies to those who do not need a prepaid plan and would rather choose to pay a few dollars each month ($5 USD each month for 30 months, for example).
