The LG Lancet is a low-end budget smartphone made by LG Electronics. [1] It was first launched as a Windows Phone 8.1 device in July 2015 and was made available in an Android 5.1 version in October of 2015. [2] Both devices were available from Verizon Wireless.

Features

The LG Lancet features a 4.5-inch touchscreen display with a 854 x 480 pixel screen resolution. [3] It is powered by a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon Quad-core Processor (MSM8916). It has a 2,100 mAh battery with up to 17 days and 12 hours of standby time, according to LG. It has 8 GB internal storage, which can be expanded up to 128 GB. The device has been criticized for the quality of photos taken by its 8-megapixel primary camera and its 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera. [4]

Verizon sold the Lancet for $120 off-contract and $69.99 on-contract. [5] It was part of the three Windows devices sold during the period with the other two being the high-end HTC One (M8) and the mid-range Lumia 735.
