Is LG working on an Android One phone that will be a T-Mobile exclusive in the US?

Himanshu, 18 June 2018

LG may be working on an Android One smartphone. Evidence related to this have been found in the kernel source code for the yet-to-be-launched LG Stylo 4. The device - codenamed 'cv5a' - may be a T-Mobile exclusive in the United States.

The confirmation that 'cv5a' is an Android One device comes from the suffix 'sprout,' which you'll find in the codename for almost every Android One device released so far.

As for specifications, based on the information dug out from the kernel source code, the handset is powered by Snapdragon 450 SoC, and features a 5.5-inch FHD+ (1080×2160) 18:9 LCD panel. RAM should be around 2-3GB, while battery is said to be of 3,000mAh capacity.

No information on camera sensors, but the device possibly features a camera button. Other details include USB Type-C port, NFC, Android 8.1, and no fingerprint sensor (in the US at-least).
