LG Optimus L7 leaks for Boost Mobile as the Venice

The merriment continues at _evleaks_, which just spilled another smartphone via Twitter. This time it's the LG Venice for Boost Mobile: a rebadged version of the [Optimus L7](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/29/lg-optimus-l7-review/) that just so happens to sport a handsome silvery backplate. This is the second version of the Optimus L7 to be geared for US shores, the first being the [Splendor](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/11/lg-splendor-now-available-at-us-cellular-for-80-after-rebate/) for US Cellular. Absent any drastic changes, shoppers can rightfully expect to find an Android 4.0 smartphone that's paired with a single-core 1GHz CPU, a 4.3-inch WVGA display and a 5-megapixel camera that'll capture video at 720p. Unfortunately, pricing for the Venice remains up in the air, which makes it difficult to know whether it'll provide much of a value proposition within Boost's lineup. Likewise, the all-important release date is also a mystery, although with the carrier [actively](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/19/zte-warp-sequent-now-available-on-boost-mobile-for-200/) [refreshing](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/22/boost-mobile-announces-samsung-galaxy-rush/) [its fall](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/22/boost-mobile-galaxy-s-ii-4g/) [lineup](http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/17/kyocera-hydro-hitting-boost-on-august-3rd-for-130-lets-you-get/), a near-term arrival is certainly within reason.
