#verizon’s new LG Stylo 2 V is its first with a MediaTek processor

This week, Verizon announced a new budget phone, the LG Stylo 2 V. The Stylo 2 V is wholly unremarkable as phones go: it’s a budget phablet with a 5.7-inch display, 13-megapixel camera, 3,000mAh battery, a generation-old Android Marshmallow OS, and 16GB of storage. It does come with a stylus, however, and sells for a scant $240.
The most interesting part of the device is likely its processor. Like last month’s LG X Power for Sprint, the Stylo 2 V has a MediaTek chip inside, instead of a more common Qualcomm processor. Specifically, it’s a 1.8GHz octacore Helio P10 processor, with MediaTek’s world-mode modem (meaning it can roam on international networks). This is the first phone for Verizon with a MediaTek processor inside of it.
