LG’s got a triple SIM phone coming next month and that debut is scheduled for the Russian market, in case you’re wondering. This is the LG A290 handset I’m talking about and the premiere here is how mainstream this phone is… Actually there are quite a bunch of handsets with 3 SIM card slots out there and even one with a quad SIM gear, but none of them famous.
LG A290 comes with a 2.2 inch 176 x 220 pixel display, a 1.3 megapixel camera with flash and a 1500 mAh battery. The size of the device is 12.9mm in thickness and the width is 51mm. It remains to be seen if all 3 SIM cards can be active at the same time or one at a time, maybe two at a time. As expected, the A290 will have a low price tag and you must know that it will be entering Russia by late February with a price of about 75 euros. Don’t expect too much from this handset, aside from the multiple SIM card thing…
The design of the phone looks OK for this amount of money, especially if it’s more metal and less plastic. Looking forward to the quad SIM mainstream phone right now…
