The AG Boost offers an alternative to buyers who want an affordable smartphone that offers slightly more than the cheaper AG Zoom has to offer overall. It features a better WVGA display and an improved rear camera, while also sporting a more attractive look.

Build and Screen
Although featuring a plastic chassis, the AG Boost is more appealing than the Zoom, thanks in part to its bigger display. It doesn’t look overly cheap as the other device and appears somewhat slimmer as well.
The phone is expected to come with two interchangeable rear covers, protective case and screen guard out of the box. AG Boost sports a 4-inch diagonal display with a WVGA resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, promising better viewing experience than its smaller cousin.
Camera and Storage
The AG Boost features a slightly more respectable 3.2-megapixel rear-facing camera. However, you will still have to contend with the lowly VGA sensor for selfies. Onboard storage of just 4GB capacity does not look like one intended to hold a lot of files.
It is good that the phone, at least, allows you to add further storage space of up to 32 GB using a microSD card.
Performance and OS
On the inside, the AG Boost packs a dual-core MediaTek MT6572, which does its job at a maximum pace of 1 GHz. The entry-level processor is backed up by a measly 512 MB of RAM. You should expect no difference in performance between this phone and the AG Zoom. It also boots Android 4.4 KitKat operating system like the other device.
Other Features
The AG Boost is equipped with a 1,350mAh juicer, which surprisingly has lower capacity than the one in the smaller Zoom. Somehow, in spite of its bigger, better-res display, the phone will still support the same (poor) four hours of talk time, according to its maker.
It offers regular connectivity options such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS. However, it is not clear if it supports 3G connectivity.
Pricing and availability
AG Boost is available in Nigeria. You can buy the afordable Android smartphone at Konga. AG Boost Price in Nigeria ranges from N10,500 to N15,000 depending on your location in the country.
