LG Spectrum unboxing

0. phoneArena posted on 24 Jan 2012, 15:33

Interestingly enough, its retail packaging is receiving the same all-black treatment found with previous 4G LTE smartphones like the Motorola DROID RAZR, HTC Rezound, and Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Even before ripping out the handset from its box, we’re not...

I don't see why everyone hates LG's phones. Their UI has learning curves. The LG Nitro is not as laggy as these review sites described and I probably can say the same for the LG Spectrum.

And the LG Spectrum has even less lag. I have a lot of co-workers who have the phone and love it. The display on this phone is absolutely amazing! It also has Netflix HD so you can watch videos in 720p :)

I've played with the nitro anf i noticed a scroling thing that lg has put in hat is pretty tricky at first but you get a use to it after like the first 15 seconds. Basically lg makes the phone scroll a whileand yo stop it you have to tap it. Timing it wrong can fool some one into thinking a device is laggy. But on the other hand, verizon may have removed this scroll pattern.

I love the $199 price point and would be very tempted to purchase but the lack of ICS is a deal breaker.

What practical benefits does ICS bring? Just wanna know.

the three buttons on the bottom indicates ice cream sandwiche. dare i say this but i think its the better of the four - nexus, razor, rezound from initial impressions.

the screen is no doubt looks remarkable

I've been using a Nexus with ICS for awhile now. Really, I hate to say something that sounds like a demonic verse, but I haven't found it all that appealing. Compared to the 2.3.4 I had on my GS2, functionality wise there are no major differences. Layout differences? Such, huge differences, but how it has handled hasn't been any better. I think people need to stop getting so hung up on "I'll only buy it if it has ICS!"

I understand where you are coming from but ics is supposed to be the link between tablets and phones so fragmenting will be less common in the future. That is why you se the overhauled design change.That is why i think google may be a little more strict when it comes to changing the design of ics for oems. I feel thesame way about the galaxy nexus. In my opinion it is just as disapointing as the iPhone 4S. But i still think it is a great phone. In fact both pgones are greatfor their consumer target. I espescialy like this lg spectrum device. i want to try it

Wh did this genius unbox the device outdoors? That screen looked awesome........all washed out from the glaring direct sunlight. Thanks for wasting 4 minutes of my life.

I went through 3 G2x's, and a Nitro that all shared the same problem. For some reason, they wouldn't automatically connect to a known WiFi network, unless I toggled the WiFi on and off. Maybe LG got it right this time. By the way, the Nexus comes in a white box.
