Alleged press shots out LG Optimus F5 as Verizon's mid-range Lucid 2

About a week ago, we went hands-on with LG's new mid-range LTE-capable [Optimus F5 and F7](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/25/lg-optimus-f7-f5-hands-on/) smartphones at [MWC](http://www.engadget.com/tag/mwc2013/). At the time it was unknown where these handsets would land in the US, but it appears that we now have the goods on the former. According to a pair of alleged press shots obtained by _UnwiredView_, LG's F5 will be showing up on Verizon in the not so distant future. Said to be a follow up to last year's [Lucid](http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/27/lg-lucid-verizon-lte-official/), this mid-tier device's main bullet points include a modest 4.3-inch qHD display, a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera (capable of 1080p video capture) and Android 4.1.2. Sure, the Lucid 2's specs remind us more of a keyboard shortcut and less of a powerful storm -- we just hope that its price tag will also be a _refresh_. If so, that should make this device a considerable option for first-time smartphone buyers looking to make the jump to LTE.
