Verizon Wireless today announced the LG Lucid, an Android 2.3 Gingerbread smartphone that supports Verizon's LTE 4G network and has a 4-inch display protected by Corning's Gorilla Glass. Verizon points out features such as the Lucid's Quick Reply feature which can be used to reject incoming calls, Quick Dialer widget, and Polaris Office. Other features include a 5-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video capture, user-facing camera, a dual-core 1.2GHz processor with 1GB or RAM, mobile hotspot, Video Producer software, and Swype. The LG Lucid will go on sale March 29 for $79.99 after rebate with a new two-year contract. The Lucid is upgradable to Android 4.0, but Verizon didn't indicate when that update will be provided.
