The LG Factory builds several variations of the LG Stylo 4 Cell Phone. In the case of the Boost Mobile Stylo 4 Cell Phone, the phone is built to meet the specific requirements of Boost Mobile, meaning there are features/functions not needed (reduced cost) in the Boost Mobile Stylo 4 configuration. This is good, a less expensive Cell Phone, if you are committed to Boost Mobile as your network provider. However, if at some time in the future you decide to unlock this Boost Mobile Cell Phone, it will not work with some of the other Network Providers (some will some won’t). There would also be some pre-installed Apps (for Boost Mobile) that you would not be able to remove (Bloteware). This situation would apply to all Cell Phones that are configured for a specific merchant (some features/functions are not needed/installed, reduced cost). For example; A couple of the merchant specific Stylo 4 units are configured with the NFC function but lack the CDMA function (not needed for that phone's configuration). The Factory Unlocked Stylo 4 does not have the NFC function, but does have the CDMA function. Most of the LG Stylo 4 merchant specific phones are configured with 2GB of Ram, the Unlocked Factory version is configured with 3GB of Ram. So… the factory unlocked version of the Stylo 4 has more features/functions (additional cost) to make the Factory Unlocked model compatible with “almost” all Network Providers worldwide. More features and function, more cost.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Boost Mobile and Sprint version has a mediatek processor while the unlocked version has a Snapdragon 450 processor. Also, the Sprint and T-Mobile/MetroPCS versions only have 2 GB of RAM instead of 3GM RAM for this unlocked version. The unlocked one sold here does NOT have NFC while the MetroPCS version does.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The boost mobile version of the Stylo 4 is designed for use with Boost Mobile services only. The Unlocked version of the Stylo 4 can be used with many different carriers. ^CP
