Description

LG Spectrum 2 is equipped with a 4.7 inch True HD IPS screen, which means instead of the oft-criticized PenTile display, the display uses a regular RGB matrix. The rest of the specs look quite enticing as well, including 8-megapixel camera, the dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8960 S4 processor under the hood, NFC support and Android 4.0.4 installed. There is 16GB of native storage and Global radio support (GSM/UMTS/CDMA/LTE).

This device is also known as LG VS930

I DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR A GOOD PHONE

Posted: Nov 14, 2013, 7:20 PM

Phone owned for less than a year

It freezes up, overheats, then the screen will be all messed up. Flashing, jumping random colors, and black outs. Had it in my pocket one day working on an engine and I don't know how but the screen cracked and now I can't do nothing with it. And it's just a real little small crack. Plus the battery will decided on how it wants to be. One day it's awesome, next day it's s**tty.

I normally do not consider LG when purchasing devices, but I obtained this one from a friend who could not use it for business (compatibility with a credit card reader). I traded a Motorola RAZR Maxx for this phone and I have not regretted it!

Love this Phone!

Not a fan of LG by no means but took a chance with this phone based on user and video reviews and glad I did. Had for a week now with no lags, freezes, or random reboots. Love the 720p HD screen, I am very happy with this phone :).Edit: It won't let me change the text under the camera review, after playing with the camera in HDR mode the pictures come out nice and crisp and would recommend only using this mode to take pics!
