great phone, better (and cheaper) than iPhone 4!

This is a great budget smartphone from LG. Although Apple sells the iPhone 3G for the same price, this is still a better option. They do use relatively old firmware, as the LG Ally cannot take the Android 2.3 update.

Good but slow

Posted: Oct 04, 2022, 7:49 PM

Phone owned for less than a month

Phone is good for Android's oldest games, and it has a full on keyboard, and it has a camera flash, but it is suuuuuper slow. The 2.2 update made it super slow, just like with the S3's 4.4 update. Good for old games but not for full on internet. You can install Opera Mini but you can only install the 2015 version.

BRING THIS PHONE TO THE MODERN ERA!

Would love to see this phone be brought back with modern specs. This was my phone from HS through the first half of college. The keyboard was awesome to type on. No touchscreen will ever beat physical keys.
