LG Optimus S - charcoal (Sprint) price range: $49.99 - $94.99
- Reviewed by: Nicole Lee
- Reviewed on: 11/15/2010
The good: The LG Optimus S has an attractive, slim profile with features that include GPS, EV-DO Rev. A, and Wi-Fi with tethering capabilities. It also has a 3.2-megapixel camera and it ships with Android 2.2.
The bad: The LG Optimus S' slower processor means it doesn't have Flash video in the browser. The camera doesn't have HD video capture or an LED flash. Call quality was mixed.
The bottom line: The LG Optimus S is an affordable yet full-featured Android smartphone for Sprint, but we did wish the call quality were better.

Summary: This phone is fantastic for the price, free is my favorite word, the apps do kill the battery, Android is a little irritating with having to turn the application off in the back round, the sprint id is okay, i am a sports nut so the espn app immediately imported all of myespn settings, internet is way faster and more responsive than the BB curve ever dreamed
