LG Splendor Review
(US730) Score: 52.1 / 100LG Splendor is a decently made Android cellphone, including a 4.3" multi touch display, a CPU ticking at 1000 MHz, and two cameras, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 0.3 MP front side camera.
LG decided to power this cellphone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM8655 system chip, which holds a great performance processing unit running at 1 gigahertz with 768 MB of RAM memory. Collaborating with graphic intensive games and apps, it also uses a 245 megahertz Adreno 205 GPU. This device has a moderate 2 GB internal storage, which is adequate for most users considering that it also has an SD memory card expansion slot to store songs, photographs and videos.
This phone is much lighter than what one would expect from a phone like this. This cellphone is quite a compact cellphone, taking into account that it has a 4.3" display and it's only 4.92" long. This device has an amazing design, with a thickness of just 0.34 inches.
This cellphone includes a good looking 4.3 inches screen with a 800 x 480 resolution, which makes all photos and movies look very nice. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.
This phone has two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back side camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front camera. This phone can also shoot 1280x720 HD videos. The camera also has a couple of interesting characteristics like flash, auto-focus and geo tagging.
This cellphone counts with a good 1700 mAh Li-Ion battery that provides this cellphone a not very long battery life comparing with other similar devices. LG says this cellphone has a 9 hours talk time and a 240 hs stand by time.
This device provides wi-fi capability (although it can't be shared with other devices acting as a router or modem) and 3G internet connection, using EV-DO A technologies. This cellphone doesn't use a sim card, because it doesn't work with GSM services and it can connect to CDMA carriers.
This phone also comes with some nice features such as Bluetooth (allows communication with other phones, computers and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and a couple sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.
