LG Muziq Review

Published on: 06 September, 2007 by PhoneArena Team

Performance:

We are happy with the performance of the Muziq. The overall reception was very good. While audio became muddled in fringe areas, it held onto a signal longer than other Sprint phones tested.

The Sound quality on the Muziq was also great, and callers sounded loud and clear. Callers reported that we sounded good, and as long as we were in a good reception area the sound was comparable to a landline.

The battery is rated at 4 hours (240 minutes) of talk time, but in our testing we fell 20 minutes short. Even at 220 minutes the Muziq performs admirably for such a feature packed, thin phone.

Conclusion:

Overall the Muziq is a worthy successor to the Fusic. All the main features were there, and even though there were no major hardware or software upgrades the phone is a solid all around performer. The multimedia functions will appeal to tech junkies and the younger crowd, while the refined styling, above average battery life and fantastic email client will draw in older users.

Pros

Robust feature set
Above average reception and battery life
Excellent email client
Support for 4GB microSD card
Solid construction

Cons

Native media player stripped
Thin, but large
No major upgrades from the Fusic

PAppeal

Christian Dior:: 6 of 10; Average

The Muziq is slim and sleek, but its boxy design and large footprint may turn some off.

Average Joe:: 9 of 10; Very high

Overall a solid package; generally good looking, solid all around feature set and easy to use.

Corporate US:: 1 of 10; Very low

Corporate US will prefer to get a BlackBerry or the Mogul

High-Tech junkie: 2 of 10; Very low

The features are there, but the camera isn’t a standout and mp3 player lacks refinement.
