T-Mobile launches the affordable LG Stylo 3 Plus

T-Mobile just released a new Android smartphone made for users on a budget: the LG Stylo 3 Plus. Available to buy both online, and in T-Mobile stores across the nation, the Stylo 3 Plus costs $225 outright, or $9.00 upfront plus $9.00 per month over 24 months.

Running Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box, the LG Stylo 3 Plus replaces the Stylo 2 Plus that T-Mobile launched in 2016. The new handset obviously features a stylus pen, and brings various improvements that make it better than its predecessor.

The Stylo 3 Plus is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 435 processor clocked at 1.4 GHz, further offering a fingerprint scanner, a 13 MP rear camera, 5 MP front-facing camera, 2 GB of RAM, and a 3080 mAh battery. Bluetooth 4.2 and LTE (with VoLTE capabilities) are also on board.

T-Mobile's LG Stylo 3 Plus resembles the Stylo 3 that Boost and Virgin Mobile released earlier this year. However, unlike that version of the phone (which comes with a 5.7-inch 720p display and just 16 GB of internal memory), T-Mobile's handset offers a 5.7-inch 1080p screen and 32 GB of storage space - that's why it's got a Plus in its name.
