LG Optimus Elite Makes its Way to Virgin Mobile USA

Device Enabled with NFC and Google Wallet

WARREN, NJ and SAN DIEGO, CA (May 15, 2012) Virgin Mobile USA is now offering the LG Optimus Elite in Titan Silver for $149.99. The device operates on Virgin Mobile's no-contract Beyond Talk plans with unlimited data and messaging starting at $35 a month. LG Optimus Elite comes with Google Wallet and is now available at virginmobileusa.com and major retailers nationwide.

A successor to the LG Optimus V, Virgin says this customizable smartphone keeps customers organized with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and other features, including a 3.5-inch HVGA screen, 800MHz processor, 5MP autofocus rear-facing camera and camcorder with flash, and a virtual QWERTY keyboard.

A first for Virgin Mobile USA devices, LG Optimus Elite comes with Near Field Communications (NFC), allowing customers to access value features, such as Google Wallet, an app that allows payment using a mobile device from participating retailers at select Macy's, RadioShack, Walgreens, Gap and more.

"Our customers fell in love with the LG Optimus V, so bringing another great device to our lineup of Android-powered devices from the Optimus family goes right along with our promise of A Higher Calling," said Jeff Auman, vice president for Virgin Mobile USA. "LG Optimus Elite offers full integration of social networking apps, Microsoft Outlook Exchange email, and advanced messaging capabilities. Combined with our awesome Beyond Talk monthly unlimited data plans, customers can realize true savings with no contract and no surprises."
