Comparisons Featuring LG Splendor US730
Short Review
- The LG Splendor US730 features a compact design with dimensions of 125 x 67 x 9 mm and a weight of 120g, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 4.3-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 217 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for high-resolution content.
- Performance is driven by the Qualcomm MSM8655 Snapdragon S2 chipset, paired with a 1.0 GHz Scorpion CPU and Adreno 205 GPU, supported by 4GB of RAM, which allows for basic multitasking.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The 1700mAh battery provides limited longevity, and there is no fast charging or wireless charging capability.
- Running on Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is outdated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device lacks water resistance and stereo speakers, but it does include a headphone jack for audio output.
- Overall, the LG Splendor US730 is a basic smartphone that meets minimal requirements for everyday use.
