LG Volt Review

(LS740) Score: 59.5 / 100

LG Volt is an interesting Android phone, equipped with a 4.7" screen, a great Quad-Core processor clocking at 1200 MHz, and two cameras, an 8 MP back-facing camera and a 1.3 megapixels front side camera. We will get a better understanding of this phone's features when we get into specific details.

This phone is only 5.18 inches long, but it still manages to hold a 4.7" screen. This cellphone is very slim and practical, although it's not close to being one of the thinnest phones you can find, with a thickness of 0.41". The LG Volt isn't very light comparing to other phones , with a weight of 4.8 oz.

The LG Volt ships with a very fast 1200 MHz Quad-Core CPU, included in a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8926 chip with only 1 GB RAM memory which is a little bit poor considering its powerful CPU. Graphic calculations generally uses lots of processing time, so the LG Volt has an extra Adreno 305 graphics processing unit running at 450 MHz to improve overall performance. This phone has an 8 GB interesting internal storage and a slot for an SD memory card, which allows the user to install hundreds of apps and games without any trouble.

LG designed this phone with a interesting 4.7 inches display, and a 960 x 540 resolution, which makes all images and movies look great. Its display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

This phone features two cameras, an 8 megapixels back facing camera and a 1.3 megapixels front side camera. This phone also captures videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps. This phone also counts with a few good characteristics: auto-focus, flash, HDR mode, smile detection shooting and geo tagging.

This phone provides Wi-Fi connectivity (although it can't provide it to other devices around, acting as a hotspot). The LG Volt doesn't have a SIM card, because it doesn't support GSM services and it can work with CDMA networks.

This device also comes with lots of useful characteristics such as Near Field Communication (NFC), Infrared Transmitter, Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth phones and accessories), GPS Geolocation and Radio, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This cellphone has an amazing 3000 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery, enough to provide this cellphone with a marvelous battery duration.

The LG Volt is being sold for around 249 dollars, which is a really high price for this kind of phone. This cellphone is definitely the correct option for you no matter if you will use it majorly for internet broswing and social networks, need it for work or are looking for a gaming device.
