Comparisons Featuring LG Lucid 4G VS840
Short Review
- The LG Lucid 4G VS840 features a compact design with dimensions of 119.1 x 62.2 x 11.4 mm and a weight of 142g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
- Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 chipset with a dual-core 1.2 GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM, the performance is adequate for everyday use but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera has a 5 MP sensor capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The 1700mAh battery provides limited longevity and does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 2.3.6, upgradable to 4.0.4, the software experience is dated and lacks modern features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.
- Overall, the LG Lucid 4G VS840 is a basic smartphone with essential features but limited performance and outdated software.
- It is suitable for users who require a simple device for basic communication and web browsing.
