Comparisons Featuring LG Revolution
Short Review
- The LG Revolution features a solid build with dimensions of 128 x 67 x 13.2 mm and a weight of 172g, offering a sturdy feel in hand.
- Its 4.3-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 217 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8655 Snapdragon S2 chipset, a 1.0 GHz Scorpion CPU, and an Adreno 205 GPU, complemented by 16GB of RAM, providing reasonable multitasking capabilities for its time.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording 720p video, while the front-facing camera is a modest 1.3 MP.
- The battery capacity is 1500mAh, which may require frequent charging given the device's specifications.
- It runs on Android 2.2 (Froyo), with an upgrade option to 2.3 (Gingerbread), offering basic functionality but limited modern app support.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, though it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The device does not support wireless charging and has no water resistance features.
- The lack of stereo speakers may affect audio quality during media playback.
- Overall, the LG Revolution is a functional device that meets basic smartphone needs but falls short in several areas compared to contemporary models.
