Comparisons Featuring LG G Vista (CDMA)
Short Review
- The LG G Vista (CDMA) features a large 5.7-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 258 ppi.
- Its build is substantial, measuring 152.2 x 79.3 x 9.1 mm and weighing 168.1g, with a metallic black finish.
- Performance is driven by a quad-core 1.2 GHz processor paired with 1.5GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera offers an 8 MP sensor capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the front camera is limited to 1.3 MP.
- The 3200 mAh battery provides reasonable longevity, although it lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.4.2, it can be upgraded to 5.1.1, offering a user-friendly interface with basic features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
- The phone does not feature HDR or stereo speakers, and it includes a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the LG G Vista is a solid device for everyday use, with a focus on essential features rather than high-end specifications.
