LG Exalt LTE - a modern flip phone with Wi-Fi Calling

It would seem that in the age of modern smartphones with huge displays, the old-fashioned design of a classic phone has no place to exist. However, there is a small group of recipients who do not need to check Facebook every 5 minutes. This is evidenced by the returning Nokia 3310, or the new LG Exalt LTE, which is a truly modern flip phone. It is a very interesting model because apart from LTE it also supports Wi-Fi Calling and VoLTE.

The new Nokia 3310 is nothing special in terms of telecommunications. It is an ordinary traditional telephone that only works in GSM networks. HMD Global played here on the sentimental memories of former owners of this iconic phone. On the other hand, LG Exalt LTE is a very interesting offer for Verizon customers in the United States. It would seem that flip phones are a relic of the past and we will never see them again. However, they have one very important advantage. If they slip out of our pockets, the screen will not break.

LG Exalt LTE supports both LTE and older cellular networks.

The new flip phone from LG has been hailed on the network as an LTE-only device. I do not know where this understatement comes from, but on many websites we can read that LG Exalt LTE only works within the LTE network. However, this is not true. Both in the specification on the operator's website and in the user manual, there is information about the support of 3G UMTS and 2G GSM networks.

An interesting fact is the support for Wi-Fi Calling. It is perhaps the only non-smartphone in the world that uses Wi-Fi for voice calls. It is not written directly, but LG with a flap also supports VoLTE. The operator boasts of HD Voice support via the 4G LTE network, which is the marketing term for VoLTE.

We will pay $ 168 for a modern flip phone from LG.

Well, this is a fairly high price, because for the same price we will get more than one Android smartphone. What do we get for $ 168? The LG Exalt LTE has a 1,470 mAh battery that can last up to 10 days in standby mode or 6 hours of continuous talks. The camera has a resolution of 5 MP, while the internal memory of 8 GB can be expanded with a 32 GB microSD card. The WQVGA TFT LCD display has a diagonal of 3 ”and displays an image with a resolution of 400 x 240 pixels. For this we also have support for Bluetooth 4.1 and Wi-Fi 802.11n. Everything is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset with a 1.1 GHz quad-core processor. Certainly, this model will find its amateurs, I only wonder if LG will prepare versions for other operators.
