Reviews for the LG G Vista

70% LG G Vista (AT&T)
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
The LG G Vista has three things going for it: a big screen, a big battery, and a small price tag. It's not quite as large as the Samsung Galaxy Mega, but it's got more modern Android software, faster performance, and costs half the price. The G Vista can't hold a candle to the Galaxy Note 3, which is soon to be supplanted by the Note 4, but it doesn't have to at just $50 versus over $200 for the Note 3. The bloatware and low storage is a bummer, but neither are deal breakers by any means. Big-screen junkies on a budget will be well served by the G Vista.

70% LG G Vista (Verizon Wireless)
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
Though it doesn't quite rehabilitate the tainted Vista name, the LG G Vista has a lot to offer for big-screen fans on a budget. The 720p display is on par with phones in this price range, like the Huawei Ascend Mate2 or HTC Desire 816. You're not getting a ton of power, especially compared with phablets like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, but for most tasks you probably won't notice a difference. Spending that extra $50 for the Note 3 is definitely worth considering, as that phablet has a sharper 1080p AMOLED display and unbeatable built-in stylus. It's also worth noting that at the time of this writing, Verizon lists the G3 at $100 with a two-year contract—it's only slightly smaller with a 5.5-inch display, but blows the G Vista out of the water in every other way.

Comment

Model:

The LG G Vista is a sleek, slim and rounded device that provides plenty screen real estate. The black glossy chassis houses a 5.7 inch HD IPS display and is still able to maintain a slim profile for comfortable one hand usage. At the core of the Android 4.4 Kit Kat device is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, 1.5 GB RAM, and 8 GB internal storage.

Users will be pleased with the MicroSD support that allows for an additional 64 GB storage; a must for a modern day device that doubles up as an entertainment package. The LG G Vista has an 8 MP laser auto focus camera with LED flash and a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera for the selfie enthusiast. The laser focus certainly speeds up the picture taking process and users will get razor-sharp images.

Other technologies included are Bluetooth 4.0, S-GPS, NFC and many more. One feature that impresses is the Smart keyboard that adapts to the individual and makes typing easier. The LG G Vista is powered with a 3200 mAh capacity cell that will allow up to 15 hours talk time and will power up the device for a good amount of usage.
