LG Optimus G E970
LG OPTIMUS G E970 REVIEW
LG
introduces new smartphone Optimus G E970 on November 2012. The LG Optimus G for
AT&T (model number LG-E970) is big and rectangular, to the point where it
feels like a tablet that was shrunk down to fit in your pocket. Other than the
fact that it doesn't come in white, it bears a heavy resemblance to the LG
Optimus 4X HD. It's a slab of black plastic with right-angled edges and a
spacious 4.7-inch screen, measuring 5.15 inch x 2.82 inch x 0.33 inch (130.8 x
71.6 x 8.4 mm) in total. That big 4.7-inch multi-touch display is one of the
best feathers in the Optimus G's cap. It's huge, and running at 1280x720
resolution (318 ppi) makes it great for reading, browsing the web or playing
games. While 1280x720 is the G's default resolution, LG claims support for up
to 1920x1080 for the right video. Rotating the phone in and out of landscape
mode is a bit disappointing. It's not as snappy as we'd hoped, considering all
the horsepower under the hood. This is especially true on the home screen,
where you have a to wait a beat for app icons and widgets to pop back in. The
browser, however, does an admirable job of quickly resizing the page between
landscape and portrait. Overall, not an unreasonable amount of lag, just more
than we'd expect from a quad-core phone with 2GB of RAM. QuickMemo is a fun and
handy LG app that allows you to compose fast and sloppy handwritten messages,
right over a home screen or on a blank memo page. Being able to jump into it
from a home screen icon or the notification center makes it fast enough to
actually be helpful, since yanking your smartphone out of a pocket or purse is
usually faster than digging in your bag for pen and paper. Writing with your
thumb or index finger is never going to make for great penmanship, but it's a
fine substitute for jotting down a quick phone number when you can't find a
pen. After you make the note, you can save and export it like a gallery
picture, or share it via email, Google Drive or social networks. You can also
keep the note showing over the home screen as a handy reminder. As for the
microphone on the LG Optimus, it's average at best, and honestly leaves a
little something to be desired. Calls often had a bit of static in the
background, and voices over the line were fuzzy. It was usually necessary to
play with the volume levels in order to get things comfortable. We'd call it an
average performance overall, not a deal breaker, but not a feather in the
Optimus G's cap either. Speakerphone performance was equally fuzzy. Calls needed
to be kept at half volume to prevent voices from being distorted. The Optimus G
has two pinhole microphones, and their range doesn't pick up well beyond
sitting at the end of a desk. Within that range voices came in loud and clear. One
of the biggest differences between the Sprint and AT&T versions of the LG
Optimus G is the camera, with the Sprint boasting a 13-megapixel camera and the
AT&T having 8-megapixels. Both phones shoot 1080p video. As is the the case
with most phones, the camera on the AT&T model of the LG Optimus G does its
best work outdoors in strong sunlight. Indoors shots or pictures with uneven
light gave it trouble. Pictures were sometimes dark, but could be improved by
adjusting the white balance or ISO. There's also manual focus control and few
color effects. On the default setting, color contrasts are high, resulting in
some rather eye-popping hues. It's not true to life, by the stylization can be
nice. The front facing 1.3-megapixel camera is extremely standard and takes an
extremely standard picture. It's just fine for video chat and Skype. We thought
a quad-core processor and 4G LTE support would spell trouble for the LG Optimus
G's battery. Since the battery is non-removable, we were worried, but ended up
pleasantly surprised with the phone's 2100mAh cell's performance. Stay
entertained with this LG Optimus G E970 mobile phone that features a 4.7"
high-definition IPS touch screen for crisp images and easy navigation, as well
as built-in Wi-Fi for simple Web access. The 32GB total memory capacity lets
you store your favorite media.
