LG X Power with 4100 mAh battery launches in the US this month (on Cricket)

Last month, when LG released its X Power smartphone in Canada, we assumed that the handset would also land in the US at some point. Today, we know for certain that it will: Cricket Wireless just announced that it's going to launch the LG X Power on August 26.

Cricket customers will be able to buy the new device for $159.99 plus tax (no contract required, but you have to activate a smartphone plan). The X Power is one of the most interesting affordable LG handsets we've seen lately, as it packs a very generous 4,100 mAh battery with support for Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0. According to LG, this battery can provide up to 2 full days of usage time - we hope we'll be able to test this claim soon.

The LG X Power runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, and sports a 5.3-inch IPS display with 720 x 1280 pixels (not great in terms of sharpness, but it should still do a decent job, especially considering the phone's accessible price). The new handset is powered by a 1.3 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 210 processor, further offering LTE connectivity, 1.5 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of expandable storage space. There's a 5 MP camera on the front, and an 8 MP one with LED flash on the back.

For a limited time, if you bring your number to Cricket, you could purchase the LG X Power for just $129.99 plus tax. Interested?
