“The customer response to LG Tribute and LG Volt was tremendous, and they were two of Boost Mobile’s hottest smartphones in 2014. We felt that with updates to the operating system, displays and cameras, the second generation would offer two great new options for customers looking to upgrade their smartphone experience.”

LG Tribute 2 and LG Volt 2 are built on Android™ 5.1, Lollipop. The latest version of Android offers several important upgrades over the Android 4.4, KitKat, operating system available on predecessor smartphones:

 Battery saver mode detects when the battery is low and adjusts device usage to extend battery life.

 Notifications are prioritized and can be viewed, opened and responded to from the lock screen, making it quicker and easier to respond.

 The newest version of Lollipop also makes it easier to connect to Wi-Fi networks and paired Bluetooth devices with the ability manage connections through the Quick Settings menu.

 For the security-conscious, Android 5.1 security enhancements prevent a would-be thief from factory resetting the smartphone without the Google profile password used to provision the device.
