LG Thrill 4G User Reviews

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.

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.

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.

I am not a huge fan of the whole 3D idea on a mobile phone, but when I saw this phone I was pretty impressed with the 3D feature without glasses. But the price is even more amazing. The phone has a great build and does not look cheap. No issues with call quality or reception, except in areas that are already known with poor cell coverage. Internet speed is good, even though I prefer the speeds from a Motorola Atrix or Samsung Infuse. The performance of the phone while playing multimedia is pretty great. 3D pictures and videos look very good. I like a lot the picture quality for 2D pictures, very vibrant and crisp quality. The only disappointment is the fact that there is no flash while taking pictures on 3D. Great user interface speed, after all the phone is a dual core 1Ghz TI OMAP processor with 512 MB of RAM and don’t forget DUAL CHANNEL. That makes the phone perform faster than a regular 512 MB RAM phone. My biggest disappointment is the battery. Not good enough and that will impact your everyday usage.

Just got the phone skeptical about purchasing a 3D device and now I know why. The battery life on this thing is horrid as I charged it all night woke up to get on Facebook for 10 minutes and used up literally 30% of my battery. Charged it again to 100% before taking off to the office and after 45 minutes I'm down to 87% battery already from texting sending a total of 10 text messages. This is going right back to the store. Getting tired of hit or miss android phones.

Disclaimer: I am an At&t sales rep and this review reflects my opinion only.

I have spent the last few days testing the Thrill and I have to say it is a great value for $99.

Build Quality: The soft touch backing is very comfortable to hold and the phone itself feels like it has a good weight to it. The brushed finish above and below the screen gives the phone a classy look.

Reception is good and seems to be slightly better than the samsung infuse 4g. Calls are clear but I seem to get better call quality out of my Motorola Atrix.

The stock browser is quick and has a navigation bar at the bottom which is useful so i dont have to hit the menu key to bring up settings or open multiple windows.

the camera is a decent 5mp shooter but doesnt hold a candle to the quality of the HTC inspire or the samsung Infuse. The addition of the dual lense 3d design lets you take some cool looking 3d videos and pics but it really only shines on the phone's screen.

UI speed is very snappy. Apps load quick and even the 3d games dont stutter or experience fps drops. That, of course, is to be expected from the Dual-core engine under the hood.

The LG keyboard seems more accurate than the stock samsung or motorola keyboards however swype is not preloaded.

The display is clear and bright. When 3d is turned on, however cool it may be, the clarity and color suffers.

All in all a great phone even without the 3d. And for 99 bucks only the atrix stands in its way.
