LG Thrill 4G, Innovative Devices At It's Best
Phone owned for less than a month

I love how the device feels in my hand, heavy and sturdy. I'm a big guy with big needs. Never had a dropped call, EVER! I always experienced great crystal clear quality calls. Awesome and smooth internet usage, although recently the 4G speeds have been jumping up and down.

The LG Thril 4G has everyone someone needs to view pictures, listen to music, and watch your videos. The camera overall is good, but it could've had at least the new standard 8MP. I mean, we have 3D, but not a better camera quality? The user interface, meaning the main screens, slide about smoothly and quickly. One thing I noticed is that when exiting applications, there is a lag. Not a slight lag, but a really noticable lag.

Overall device usage, it's a great new toy with a lot of extra goodies. With the 4.3'' screen display, horizontal or vertical typing is a lot better than smaller screens of course, but I strongly believe ALL smartphones should have a physical QWERTY keyboard. The screen is AWESOME and picture quality is AMAZING!

As far as battery usage, it's horrible. But everyone that buys ANY, and I mean ANY, smartphone, realize that you are no longer buying a phone but you are buying a hand-held laptop with benefits of phone calls.

LG Thrill 4G- Do you want 3D?
Phone owned for less than 3 months

AT&T customers who are waiting for 3D on your phone, it is now your showtime. Here is the LG Thrill 4G.

First, this is a high-end phone, but I think it fails a lot of areas, especially on PHONE. Call quality is below average, reception is not on-par with other AT&T 4G phones, but data speeds were great because I usually get 5 Mbps down and 2 Mbps up. I mean, call quality is not great, static and muffled voices are heard through the earpiece and speakerphone fares even worse. Also, reception is not great. I live in a high-coverage area for all four nation-wide carriers (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile), but I don't get good reception on the LG Thrill 4G, usually 2 to 3 bars.

The Internet or Web Browsing experience isn't that great. Pinch-to-zoom is not as fast and it stutters every now and then, but pages does render faster than average.

However, the multimedia and everyday usage are great. 3D displays a little better than the HTC Evo 3D, but it is ever-so-slightly better only. The UI is good, but still not on-par with HTC and Samsung and even Motorola, but speed is definitely fast.

I hated Samsung keypad, and LG keyboard is next. However, it is slightly better than Samsung's keypad because it has a pattern for me to follow. That is something to consider.

Also, display is large but pixel density is not that great. The colors definitely pop-up but I think the viewing-angles can be better as well as the brightness output.

Battery life isn't good at all, and it is even worse than HTC Evo 3D, which I normally can get through 12 hours or a little more.

Overall, it accels in 3D department, but in terms of PHONE, it is just average, if not, below average.

Awesome phone for the price.
Phone owned for less than a month

I'll start my review by saying that when I tell friends about 3D most of them think of it as a gimmick. However, when they see photos and videos on the LG Thrill, they change their mind. Yes, this technology is far from being widely accepted but the LG Thrill makes the conversion to the 3D side smoother. It's far from being perfect, though. For starters, the price tag is not set to compete with the rest of Android devices, and for a reason. If you are looking exclusively performance, I think you're better off with the upcoming SGS II.In Antutu Benchmark, I got a 4825 score (stock), about the same an LG Optimus 2x, but far from the 5773 a stock SGS 2 offers.. Nevertheless, if you are willing to give 3D a try, this phone will not dissapoint.
