LG TSV E226741 - How is it Different From the Last LG - E226143 Presented a Few Months Ago??

I'm so confused since QVC brings out a new LG Tracfone every 3 months it seems. How is the TSV on today (12/18) different from the one presented a few months ago E226143?

I'm not a real tech person. I own the LG 840G from a few years ago. I would like to upgrade, but don't know the differences. The one from a few months ago doesn't have overall very good reviews. LG Tracfones are getting as irritating as iPhones being upgraded so often.

If anyone can explain to me how the TSV is better than the one from a few months ago, I would appreciate it very much.

The prior TS is the newest LG Smartphone and has a larger screen and I believe a faster processor. The TS today is an older model

I love it and one of the best features for me is the larger screen.

The E226143 is an older model, with an even slower processor than the current TS and an old operating system.

Just because QVC is offering something, especially with electronics, and especially when it's a TSV you can't assume it's the latest model. They typically offer older models and hype it up like its the latest and greatest. So just because you are seeing offers 3 months apart doesn't mean that the company making the product is updating their products that often. Usually new models are produced by manufacturers annually because new technology is created and incorporated into the product for use. When you see something presented, note the model number, then go online and research to compare that model number and see when that model number was built.
