LG Lucid 3 launches on Verizon with 4.7-inch display, $0 on-contract price

A little over a month after we got our first peek at the LG Lucid 3 in a leaked product shot, Verizon has made the Android smartphone officially official.

The LG Lucid 3 is now available for purchase from Verizon for free with a 2-year contract. Verizon is also selling the device for 24 monthly payments of $12.49 with its Edge upgrade program or $299.99 without any kind of commitment. In exchange for your hard-earned $300, you’ll get a device with the following specs:

4.7-inch 960×540 touchscreen
1.2GHz quad-core processor
5-megapixel rear, VGA front cameras
8GB storage
microSD card slot
2440mAh battery
4G LTE connectivity
Android 4.4.2 KitKat

Overall the Lucid 3 looks like a respectable upgrade from the Lucid 2, sporting a larger display and beefier processor than what’s found on its predecessor. That said, the Lucid 3 is still a fairly entry-level device, and its qHD display and 5-megapixel camera isn’t likely to wow any spec hounds. The good news is that it’s also easy on the wallet, priced at free on-contract and just $300 without.
