Short Review
- The LG Volt features a compact design with dimensions of 131.6 x 66 x 10.4 mm and a weight of 136.1g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.7-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 234 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset with a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, suitable for everyday use but limited for heavy multitasking.
- The rear camera offers 8 MP with autofocus and can record video at 1080p@30fps, while the front-facing camera is 1.3 MP.
- The 3000 mAh battery provides decent longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is basic and may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
- The phone is available in blue and white color options, catering to different aesthetic preferences.
- Overall, the LG Volt is a straightforward device with essential features but limited performance and display quality.
