LG Volt

Just got one of these, and Love it..I rooted the device,installed TWRP recover,and using Obb on SD (Xposed)..Game play is fantastic, and haven't experienced any lag or crashes....All of my devices are rooted.You get so much more out of your devices that way

I've had this phone for about 15 months and it's still working pretty well. The video quality might not be the very best but it's something you can overlook in exchange for everything else (video player, camera, battery, etc.) it has to offer.

So, I bought this phone over others mostly due to the fact that it was way cheaper than the Samsung I was looking at and that it would be one of the first phones to upgrade to the new OS.(more on that later).
The phone isn't the fastest nor does it yield the best performance of any phone I've used before, but what it does provide is indestructibility. I am notorious for being rough on my phones. I have dropped my phone into the bathtub four times now, and dropped it from varying heights to many times to count.
To put this in context , the phone I had previous to this was an iPhone. I knocked that phone off of the coffee table and the glass shattered, and there I was with a useless phone.
the LG Volt, four full depth bathtub experiences. quickly pulling it out and taking out the battery and letting things airdry returned a fully operational phone with no damage to the screen.
The Lg volt has been dropped of desks, coffee tables, and while I was walking and accidentally let it go flying. It breaks apart usually but finding the battery after its gone bouncing somewhere is the worst of the problems. There is no damage at all to the screens.
If you need a really hi functioning phone to do most of your daily work from, this is not the phone for you, but if you're buying this for a teenager or college student, Its a good option.
Now on to the promise they made about this being one of the first phones to upgrade to the new operating system. I can't stand it when a service provider and a company lie to me like that, and because of that , I won't be purchasing another of their products since they have as of yet, not upgraded us.
