Most tech outlets raved about the iPhone X's looks, calling it stunning and gorgeous. More on Forbes: Camera Shootout: iPhone X Vs. It’s definitely not big enough to justify the jarringly different tone from mainstream tech outlets (gushing for Apple phones, snark and cynicism for LG phones) and not worth the extra $250 that Apple charges if all things are considered. The iPhone X may be a more polished device overall, with a better display and slightly better camera, but the gap between them is not big at all. I have both the LG V30 and the iPhone X on me right now and I've used both for weeks. Example: Business Insider blamed the V30 for bloatware when that's the fault of the American carrier and Wired poked fun at the V30's supposedly non-nonsensical naming, as if Apple jumping from 8 to X, Samsung going from Note 5 to Note 7, or OnePlus adding a "T" after the 5 in their latest phone make more sense?). (Many of these reviews are unfairly snarky, scrutinizing LG for things they'd give Apple/Samsung leeway for. It's gotten mostly so-so reviews despite being a very good phone. This doesn't mean the iPhone X is not a great phone - it's just really not deserving of getting 100x more coverage and buzz from media than other phones when it has:Ĭonversely, the LG V30 is underrated. Huawei's P9 offered that almost six months before Apple did with the iPhone 7 Plus, but almost all mention of "portrait" bokeh photography is lumped with a reference to the iPhone. This is a trend that LG did before everybody with the LG G6, but you'd be hard pressed to know that if you don't follow smartphone news closely, because mainstream outlets will mostly just refer to 18:9 phones "like the Galaxy S8/Note 8." The same goes for using dual-cameras to produce bokeh shots. For example, right now the trend of smartphones is a near bezel-less, all-screen front with no buttons and an 18:9 display aspect ratio. And whether it's due to Apple/Samsung's marketing prowess or influence, I notice that mainstream media tend to default to those two devices as go-to references. But mostly, tech media review devices in a vacuum: they get an iPhone, they test the iPhone, they like the iPhone, they tell readers to buy the iPhone, that's it.
There is a reason why MetroPCS, Boost, and Cricket give this away FREE.Considering how crowded the smartphone market is and how many great handsets are out, one would think evaluating what's overrated/underrated would be useful - or at least make for good debate. Otherwise, it is outdated, slow, clunky, bad a just about everything that isn't phone-call related. It's a fine phone if you don't want a smartphone for anything more than a phone that you can use to browser the internet and take a call. Glad to have it here while I am working but get no data signal.įinal Thoughts: It is a perfectly fine phone if you are low-income and can't afford buying a better one. + Has a built-in FM Radio receiver and app. This is nice compared to Samsung with all the extra "features", "interfaces", and "apps" that they pre-load.

+ User Experience: Standard Android with no "bloatware". If you are doing those things, you'll see the battery going down quite quickly. Battery life is good IF you're not using the phone for games or video viewing. Microphone is clear for whomever is on the other end of your phone call. + When on a call (not speaker phone), the ear speaker is sufficient and call quality is clear.
Speakers are barely audible when watching youtube/netflix. This is like most phones, so not too bad of a knock against it. My first android smart phone was just as good as this one and that was back in 2010.
It is very susceptible to blurring even shallow breathing or minor hand movement "smears" photos. And if you are trying to switch back-n-forth to reference information between apps (say using your browser to look at billing statements, and then going to your bank's app) you'll loose your place in each app because it has to reload EVERYTHING again. This is very frustrating when switching between your text messaging app, to the browser, to music, and back to messaging because of how much waiting you're doing. This means anytime you switch apps, it will take the app a while to load as there is no "room" for it to be running in the background. 1.6GB of it is used ONLY by the Android operating system.
BIGGEST DEFICIENCY (of many): It has only 2GB of RAM. This phone uses a processor that is easily 4 generations (i.e., "four years") old. I went from a Samsung S8+ to this phone and there is a significant difference in quality. I got this phone for $0 (free) and it is worth every penny.
