AT&T has added a new device to their line up today by way of the LG Escape2. This is the follow-up device to the original Escape that LG released with AT&T back in 2012, but looks much better. The Escape 2 takes a lot of its design elements from the G Flex 2 and LG G4 with its rear volume/power buttons and curved body, Â but brings the higher-end specs down to help lower the cost considerably. It packs in a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor clocked at 1.2GHz paired with 1GB of RAM.
The Escape2 also offers a 8MP rear camera with flash, a smaller 1MP front facer for selfies and uses LG‘s gestures to snap photos without pressing a button or tapping the screen. You will find the typical lower storage of 8GB internally, but it is expandable with a Micro SD card. They list it as supporting up to 32GB’s, but it will probably handle more if you have it. As for the screen you are looking at a 4.7-inch at 1280 x 720 and is all powered by a removable 2,100 mAh battery that is rated for 14 hours talk time. Additional attributes include Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, 5GHz Wi-Fi compatible and rocking Android 5.0 out of the box.
The device is listed at a fairly solid price point of $179.99 outright, but you can pick it up for $0.99 on a two-year contract if you really wanted too. You also have the NEXT program options setting the device up on NEXT 24 for $6.00 a month, NEXT 18 at $7.50 a month and NEXT 12 for $9.00 a month.
