Boost Mobile adds the cheap LG Tribute Royal to its offering

Boost Mobile is adding another budget-friendly smartphone to its portfolio, the LG Tribute Royal. The device doesn't have anything that could pass as “royal,” but it's great for those looking for a very cheap phone.

The LG Tribute Royal costs just $80, but that's because Boost Mobile offers a $30 discount for a limited time. Now if you're interested in such as cheap phone, here is what the LG Tribute Royal packs inside.

First off, this budget-friendly handset is equipped with a 2GHz octa-core MediaTek processor, 2GB RAM, and 16GB expandable storage. The Tribute Royal features a 5.45-inch display with HD+ resolution and an 8-megapixel main camera. Also, the phone comes with a 5-megapixel secondary camera and a 3,000 mAh battery that should offer up to 20 hours of talk time.

The best thing about the LG Tribute Royal, besides its low price, is the fact that it ships with Android 9.0 Pie right out of the box. Obviously, don't expect any major Android OS updates, but the previous iteration will do just fine for such as cheap phone.

If you plan to switch to Boost Mobile just to get this specific phone, the carrier offers the LG Tribute Royal for just $10 (plus tax). Also, keep in mind that new customers are eligible to receive four lines for only $25 per month per line.
