The stylus-touting LG Stylo 5 is now available at Cricket Wireless for $230

What you need to know

  • You can now buy the LG Stylo 5 on Cricket Wireless.
  • It costs $230 for new customers and existing customers that upgrade a line.
  • The phone has a 6.2-inch screen and built-in stylus.

LG's Stylo series has been one of the better low-end options for U.S. consumers in search of a cheap Android phone that isn't total garbage, and this year, we're getting the LG Stylo 5 (opens in new tab). If you live in the U.S., the first place you can get your hands on the Stylo 5 is at Cricket Wireless.

Cricket is charging $230 for the Stylo 5, and for that price, you're getting a pretty competent Android handset. The Stylo 5 is equipped with a 6.2-inch Full HD+ FullVision display, 13MP rear camera, 5MP selfie camera, and an unnamed "octa-core" processor with 32GB of internal storage.

You'll also find a beefy 3,500 mAh battery, Android 9 Pie with LG's custom interface, and a built-in stylus that can be concealed in the bottom frame when you're not using it.

If you want to pick up the Stylo 5 for yourself, it's available on Cricket Wireless right now in both Blonde Rose and Platinum Gray. The only caveat is that you need to be a new customer or upgrade an existing line on a plan that costs $30/month or more.
