- The smartphone -
The smartphone is equipped with its 5 inch a good size and the display with a resolution of 720x1280 pixels displays beautiful and vibrant colors, which easily add some color and contrast lose another point of view, but certainly has its limits. The processing of the smartphone is very good and it is also very good in the hand. Manual is needed is a Micro Sim card and the internal 8 GB memory can be lt. Expand with a Micro SD card to 32GB. The power and volume buttons are located on the back, which I do not think so successful. You have to hold your smartphone a little harder if you want to use these buttons with one hand. I would like it better if they were on the side but that's a matter of taste. Some will like it, others do not. The danger that, if one has this time the smartphone in hand, pressed accidentally I have not yet happened in any case. A little tip ... Double-tap on the status bar at the top, and the smart phone goes into standby ...
- The first start -
When you first start you have to set the language, set up the wireless connection, log on to Google and accept the license terms and conditions. A first look at the settings showed me that Android 4.4.2 is installed and that just under 4GB are of the 8GB memory on. Shortly after the smartphone announced with a system update. After about 15 minutes it was then well done.
- The Camera -
The front camera has 1,2MP, rear 8MP. She makes good pictures and focused with laser autofocus very quickly. The best photos makes them outdoors. In the apartment, in good light, making them even good photos where you may find a slight noise until the magnification. Are the lighting conditions not so good, is rushing in the pictures, which has a greatly improved by using the built-in flash. Toll I find here the self-timer by gesture control or by certain words like Cheese or Smile, which also works very well. You can edit the photos and add some effects to it. Macro shooting succeed well. But to get closer than 6 10 cm (depending on light conditions) ran to the object, it is blurred.
Video recordings in 1080p / 30fps makes the camera well. Here I find the ailing auto laser focus a little bit, if you do too fast panning. Otherwise, the same as in the photos. If the lighting conditions, then the video top. The darker it is, the more noise. Be included the videos in mp4 format.
- The battery -
The battery, with its 2540 mAh battery is replaceable. After finishing shop I have used smart phone for 2 days intensive. I have made a number of settings, made updates, games installed and tested, was on the Internet, have seen Youtube movies, telephones and much written by WhatsApp and he's still 40% full. I think that is a great value. Since I've seen worse.
- Connection to the PC -
The smartphone connects using the USB cable in the MTP mode to the PC to play music, video or photos to transfer. So you can display storage contents. You can transfer the data from your smartphone with an LG Suite. There is also the SmartShare, which allows you to share the contents of your phone for more equipment.
- Worth mentioning -
- Knock Code: An interesting way to deny others a glimpse into the smartphone is the Knock Code. This is for a certain knock sequence with which you then bring the smartphone from standby. Who has the problem that the smartphone through the standard knock sequence (2x tap on the display when the device is in standby) automatically gets out of standby, which should set a certain knock pattern. During setting, you must also enter a Pin, the one needs when one has verklopft 5x. Otherwise, you can still set FaceUnlock (from standby by facial recognition), pattern (from standby by a certain pattern), pin and password.
- QSlide:, computer, among other things quickly open notes from any application in the foreground. The Qslides can be found in the status bar. A great idea, I think.
- Quick Remote: This smart phone has an infrared sensor above. With the App Quick Remote is a DVD player, Blu-ray player, TV, among others diminishes setting and synchronization with the device to control. This does not work with all devices.
- Conclusion -
I'm really surprised. The smartphone has a nice, clear display with rich colors. The black level is pretty good and it's well made. However, it only has 1GB of RAM, there is no stuttering and everything is beautiful liquid. Only in graphics-intensive games it to its knees. The voice quality is very good. My interlocutor hears me very well and I can understand my interlocutor very well. The notification light lights up for incoming message and otherwise there is to complain about little. However, what bothers me very and has led to a star deduction is the lack of brightness sensor. Is it outside and the sun is shining, you can see hardly anything on the display. Because of the lack of brightness sensor must be then virtually blind find the brightness level to make them lighter. This could have been done differently. Remain well-deserved 4 stars.
