The LG G3 Vigor, a smaller, less powerful version of the LG G3 for users looking for a less expensive phone, will join the Sprint portfolio starting this Friday. The hardware for the LG G3 Vigor is basically the same as the LG G3 Beat sold in some foreign markets. The smartphone comes with a 5-inch 720p resolution display, a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal storage expandable via microSD, an 8MP camera, and a 2,540mAh battery.

Despite the downgrades in hardware necessary to achieve a lower price point, the LG G3 Vigor still gets software features that LG provides on more expensive devices like Knock On, QSlide, and QuickMemo+. The device also gets LG's rear of the device button placement. Thanks to Sprint, buyers can access the Sprint Spark network where available as well as HD Voice service.

The LG G3 Vigor will be available in Burgundy Red and Metallic Black. List price for the phone will be $299.99 off contract.
