LG F90 heads to Boost and Virgin Mobile as the LG Volt
A new LG smartphone option has launched for those of you who prefer prepaid carriers. It’s the LG Volt, and it’s pretty much an LG F90 branded for Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile.
There’s nothing too exciting going on in terms of specs: it has a 4.7-inch qHD display, a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon chipset, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot, an 8 megapixel camera on the rear and a 1.3 megapixel sensor on the front, a 3,000mAh battery and support for Sprint Spark LTE. It comes with KitKat and LG’s custom user experience, giving you access to features like KnockOn and KnockCode.
And all of that is coming to you for a neat $180. It’s not a bad device if you prefer to stay contract-free and you need a capable smartphone to get you through your days. Of course, it isn’t the only affordable smartphone packing a decent punch, but it’s always nice to have options. Head to Boost or Virgin to buy one starting today if you’re interested.

AT&T brings in-store pickup option for online shoppers
AT&T has just announced that you’ll now be able to purchase smartphones, tablets and accessories online and pick them up in-store. In-store pickup is something their competitor Verizon has been doing for quite some time, and it’s proven to be a very valuable service for those who’ve used it.
The concept is simple: select a phone, and AT&T’s site will show you all the stores in your area with stock currently available. Choose from one of those stores, complete the checkout process, and you’ll be able to waltz into your local store and have your phone ready and waiting for you as soon as you get there.
All of that adds to some cool things AT&T introduced last year, including the ability to see stock for phones at each AT&T store, as well as scheduling in-store appointments online for those who needed in-person technical or account support.
Verizon is a bit further ahead, of course, with the company currently expanding same-day home or office delivery to more locations, but AT&T is on the right path and we hope they continue add more of these services in the near future. Give it a shot if you’re planning on buying something soon by heading to AT&T’s online storefront.
