LG Spectrum (Verizon Wireless) price range: $19.99 - $199.99

The good: The LG Spectrum has fast LTE speeds, a dual-core processor, Android 2.3, and lots of HD video features, including a stellar 4.5-inch HD display.
The bad: Call quality and camera quality are inconsistent, and the Spectrum's interface can be cumbersome at times.
The bottom line: The LG Spectrum's clean design brings preppy style to some of the fastest 4G LTE data speeds around. The smartphone's attention to HD is admirable, but a few interface and performance flaws could scare away some.
There are several themes that came out of CES 2012, where Verizon first showed off the LG Spectrum, one of its latest 4G LTE superphones. LTE was one of these themes, of course, and the Spectrum delivers. HD, as in high-definition video, was another. Like the LG Nitro HD, the Spectrum has a terrific 4.5-inch HD display, a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, and an 8-megapixel camera with support for 1080p video recording. There's also a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera and the phone runs the Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS.
In addition to the HD screen and video recording, several applications on the phone are automatically optimized for HD playback, including Netflix and ESPN Sports Center. LG has taken some risks with its custom interface design, and not all the pieces fit together. I found call quality and camera performance were also variable. Overall, the Spectrum is a beautiful device that belongs in the same league as Verizon's heavy hitters, and the $199.99 price tag will help nudge fence-sitters in LG's direction.
Design
As nice as the Nitro HD was, the Spectrum's clean, lean design, a successor to last year's LG Revolution, appeals to me more. That's a personal preference, and you might disagree. It's a large slab of a device at 5.3 inches tall and 2.7 inches wide, but thin (0.42 inch). At 5 ounces, the weight makes sense for the Spectrum's dimensions. The phone feels pretty solid, but it's not a rugged device that would be poised for battle against drops, kicks, and other smartphone abuse. That said, a Corning Gorilla Glass screen lends extra strength against scratches.
Looks matter, and the Spectrum is downright preppy, thanks to the black-and-gray checkered back cover. The face is glossy black and a dark-gray metallic coating rims the sides. It'll pick up for fingerprints for sure, so invest in a wipe cloth if you haven't already. Big as it is, slight rounding on the back and sides keeps it feeling slickly comfortable in the hand. I had no complaints with on-ear pressure either.
Like the Nitro HD, the Spectrum has a 4.5-inch HD screen with a 1,280x720-pixel resolution for the number jockeys. That translates into a very bright, crisp, colorful, and overall gorgeous display that supports 16 million colors.
Above the screen is the Spectrum's 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. Below it, LG's three navigation buttons look classy, especially the Home button, which looks like it's inlaid in a silvery accent. On the back is the 8-megapixel camera lens with flash. Peel away that cover to find the microSD card slot. A razor-thin volume rocker on the left spine could use some fattening up, but the power button up top poses no problems. It's camped out next to the 3.5mm headset jack and the Micro-USB charging port with its protective sliding door for keeping out dust and muck.
Interface
The Spectrum runs Android 2.3 for now. It'll be upgradable to Ice Cream Sandwich in theory, once LG designs its new skin and Verizon pushes it out, but there's no final word yet, and no guarantee.
LG paints its own interface on top of the Android operating system. There are the familiar static buttons for onscreen navigation, plus nearly ubiquitous access to system settings for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and so on. Plenty of widgets come preloaded onto the seven customizable home screens. I deleted a good portion of them off the bat, but really like the look and usability of the In Touch widget, an archipelago of multimedia widgets that give you easy access to videos, photos, albums, and playlists.
I wasn't as fond of the busy guide that pops up when you press and hold a home screen. It surfaces a grid, onscreen controls, and a scrolling list of widgets you can add. You can also deal with shortcuts, folders, and change wallpaper from there.
The Spectrum carries on the LG Revolution's app tray layout, which organizes apps thematically in sections that open and close when you tap them. However, you can't seem to reorganize the apps and you might spend some time hunting for the one you want. I see where the designers were going with this, but I personally find it confusing and forced.
Features
The Spectrum gets everything that Android 2.3 brings in terms of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS radios, plus support for Wi-Fi Direct and DLNA (through the SmartShare app). All the communication tools are here, as well as an abundance of Google services. My favorites will always include maps with turn-by-turn voice navigation, Gmail, and YouTube. You can tether your phone over USB to share the data connection, and a Verizon app lets you use the Spectrum as a hot spot for up to 10 devices. The Swype virtual keyboard is installed, but not by default. To get it, you'll have to change the input method by pressing and holding on a text field. As with the Revolution, LG has omitted the default Android keyboard, a shame.
As always, LG does a great job with its extra gesture settings. You can customize things like flipping over the device to mute a call, stop an alarm, or pause a video; as well as tap and hold items to move or otherwise affect them. It's one of LG's best Android differentiators.
I also applaud how LG and Verizon highlight the HD theme with apps that make use of the screen. Netflix, ESPN Score Center, and Smart Movie HD are examples. Each of these apps will automatically surface HD content first, when it's available. That'll save you the step of having to cycle a video to HD mode if it's got both. You'll still be able to view content that isn't optimized for HD on the screen, of course.
Although Google is the Spectrum's default home page, search bar searches take place with Bing. It's sort of like a sneaky workaround for Bing-o-phobes.
If you enjoy having apps preloaded on your phone, you're in luck! Even beyond the Google services and crop of Verizon account management apps, there are plenty, starting with those three HD apps for ESPN, Netflix, and Smart Movie HD. Then on to the 16 Verizon apps that either support your account or that Verizon put there through third-party agreements, and which can't be uninstalled. Some highlights from that bunch are Amazon Kindle, Bitbop for music, Blockbuster, Rhapsody, and some game demos. You'll also find apps like the Polaris Office productivity suite and Richnote, a memo app.
Multimedia is one place where the Spectrum should soar, especially with that 8-megapixel camera capable of recording in 1080p HD video. Outdoor shots were largely excellent, with crisp edges, filled-in detail, and natural colors. Indoor shots, on the other hand, often looked as if they came from another camera entirely.
Flash often didn't engage indoors in lower-light situations, which made subjects look fuzzy. Other times, sufficient natural light helped the Spectrum reproduce scenes that typically trip up other camera phones, like the picture of toys in this gallery (who says cubicles are devoid of personality?) Check out that slideshow for a closer look at the Spectrum's camera chops--and missteps.
The Spectrum's video-recording capabilities were pretty good when tested in well-lit situations. While it won't replace your video camera for making movies you'll want to regularly watch on large-format screens like on your 50-inch HDTV, video played back very well on the phone's 4.5-inch screen and nicely on my desktop. Colors perhaps were a hair duller than in real life, but playback and capture were fairly smooth and detailed, with good audio capture in my tests when the subjects were at close range. It goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway): the farther away from the mic they are, the harder they'll be to hear in the video.
The Spectrum hosts 4GB of internal storage and takes up to 32GB in external storage. It generously comes with a 16GB microSD card preinstalled.
Performance
I tested the LG Spectrum (CDMA 800, 1900; LTE 700) in San Francisco using Verizon's network. Call quality was bifurcated, with my call testers hearing clearer audio than I did. In all instances, callers said I sounded "very clear" with strong volume, natural timbre, and a smooth, blip-free connection. Results varied on my end. Sometimes the line also sounded clear, but voices lacked a little warmth or depth, and there were occasional digital interruptions. In other calls, the caller's voice reverberated and the call sounded echoey.
LG Spectrum call quality sample
Listen now:
Speakerphone was loud enough to carry on a longer conversation in a noisier place, but to my ears, voices sounded tinny and a little shrill. My test caller reported back that volume was pretty good, but that voice quality was sort of echoey, resembling surround sound.
Response time and speed are also part and parcel of a smartphone's performance, and here the Spectrum for the most part excelled. There were no issues with the fast 1.5GHz dual-core processor. Apps opened quickly, and navigation was seamless.
Internet load times on Verizon's 4G LTE network were also good, and LTE coverage held pretty steady here in San Francisco. The mobile-optimized version of the New York Times loaded in just under 7 seconds, with the desktop site filling in its last ad in 14 seconds. CNET's mobile site appeared after a lengthier 25-second wait, but the desktop site popped up after 17 seconds.
Running the Speedtest.net diagnostic app by Ookla, I found download speeds for the Spectrum usually hovered in the 15Mbps-to-21Mbps range, but I occasionally got speeds of 5Mbps, which is still fast compared with some 3G networks.
The Spectrum's 1,830mAH lithium ion battery promises a rated talk time of 8.3 hours and standby time of 14.5 days. Anecdotally, the battery seemed pretty standard, but I'll continue to add results from my battery drain tests.
The Spectrum has a digital SAR of 0.86 watt per kilogram, according to FCC radiation tests.
Conclusion
LTE speeds, dual-core processing power, and the phone's terrific HD display add up to an excellent smartphone. And there are the LG Spectrum's other charms--the great design, the HD apps, and LG's customizable gesture support. Plus, that 8-megapixel camera takes some nice outdoor shots, and the $199.99 price tag means it's well-subsidized for a superphone. However, competition for Verizon customers is fierce, with a strong lineup that includes the country's first and, currently, only Android Ice Cream Sandwich phone and a handset with double the usual battery life. It'll be a tough fight for the Spectrum to win hearts and minds against such foes, especially when it exhibits somewhat questionable call quality and a riskier app interface, but LG fans will be very pleased with this upgrade.

Beautiful Screen and Lightning Fast LTE

Summary: I purchased this phone for a family member and have been tempted to keep if for myself over the Galaxy Nexus I ordered for me. The only thing really holding me back is the bloatware and sometimes laggy LG firmware.
Display:
The screen is absolutely gorgeous. I've had just about every modern smartphone including the iPhone 4s, Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy S II, and Motorola Droid Razr and this is by far the most amazing display I've used. It has excellent color accuracy and white whites and black blacks. Reading a Kindle book on it is a pleasure. Honestly, this screen is so great it is leaving me a little jealous over my Galaxy Nexus which is supposed to be one of the best on the market.
Design
I didn't really like the design from seeing pictures online but it looks much better in person.. Better than some reviewers state. The back features a glossy black/carbon fiber look which is very finger print prone. The only major complaint I would have is the glossy back has a bit of a sticky and sometimes grimy feel with use.
Speed & Reception
Sometimes it is very fast and on occasion there is a little lag. I blame this solely on the subpar and bloated LG firmware and believe with a firmware update(especially to ICS) that it would be a really snappy phone.
I was surprised upon turning it on to find that my area has LTE(unannounced so for) and after doing a speed test via Speedtest.net's app I'm receiving LTE speeds of up to 35mbps down and over 10mbps up. I also purchased a Galaxy Nexus at the same time and this phone is getting a bar or two better reception and at times nearly twice the data speeds. So if you are looking for a phone with great reception I highly recommend the Spectrum.
Software
The firmware is very very bloated and not very refined in general. In my opinion it needs a major overhaul and the app bloatware really needs to go. The things I do like are the keyboard which works and looks very similarly to an iPhone, the SMS App, and phone dialer. Unfortunately, LG's UI really makes this great phone with an amazing screen look more like a feature phone. Hopefully, if/when this finally gets an ICS update LG will leave it more of a stock Android look/feel.
Camera
The camera is on par with most of the other 8MP camera phones on the market. The software is pretty nice and offers a ton of settings. It also snaps photos pretty quickly.
Overall, I would recommend this device if you are willing to look past the firmware limitations and install a third party app launcher or wait for the ICS update.
P.S. if you're will buy this LG Spectrum, I suggest have to check for best deal before you decide at: Androidphonesrefer.wordpress.com/lg-spectrum-4g/

Summary: I LOVE this smartphone! I upgraded from Motorola's first Droid, which I really liked, but which always disappointed with the camera quality. While my old Droid had higher MPs than my LG enV, the quality was never as good. I had hoped it would be a good emergency camera when my Canon batteries died, but, it was not. So, when planning my recent upgrade, I looked again at the various Droids, along with Samsung's Galaxy Nexus and LG's Spectrum. The Droid Maxx had the battery life I wanted, but the screen resolution wasn't quite where I wanted it to be. The Nexus had the screen I wanted but no removable memory card. The LG Spectrum had the screen resolution, removable memory card, and while the battery life wasnt the greatest (so I bought an extended battery to go with), it won out on the camera test The pics were crisp and truer to color than the Droid, (the Nexus lost because of the removable memory).... AND the price was lower for similar quality in the others I tested. If you take pics with your phone, LG's Spectrum will not disappoint!....and did I mention it was fast with downloads? It is FAST! How refreshing after 2 years of 3G.

Summary: This phone is the best option out there and you get the most bang for your buck. I havent had the phone even a week yet but so far I am very happy with it. The size is a little intimidating at first but a very rewarding experience. The virtual keyboard is so easy to use and very accurate. I would only have a physical keyboard before but this has won me over. Other people complain about the charging port being on top. I have no clue why this matters and it has not been a problem for me at all. First thing to do is get a grippy/protective case for it. The first day I dropped it because it easily slipped from hand. Have no clue why LG didnt make the back cover textured/grippy. I ordered the Case Mate "Tough Case" which appears to be the best option out there. Highly recomended!

Very good device.
by 1of7627 on January 26, 2012
Pros: Look and feel, build quality, large but lightweight form factor, great screen, removable battery and memory card, lower price than rivals.
Cons: No notification LED. (I can't forgive LG for this since the Revolution has one.) Extended battery offered by Verizon is obtrusive (like the Revolution's). Would have been great if LG's ICS interpretation had been ready for release with the phone.
Summary: I really liked the Revolution I had previously and felt the Spectrum would be even better. It is. My only real disappointment is the aforementioned missing notification LED. (I've ...
Summary: I really liked the Revolution I had previously and felt the Spectrum would be even better. It is. My only real disappointment is the aforementioned missing notification LED. (I've found an app in the Market named "NoLED" that works very well, however.) I'm eager to see how ICS performs and hope LG quickly releases it. I don't find battery usage to be significantly different from the Revolution (which for me wasn't bad). Phone sound quality is fine, BlueTooth, WiFi and related implementations all work fine for me. I'd rate it 5 stars if it had a notification LED and ICS out of the box. (Have I made it clear that I miss not having a notificiaton LED? I never saw it even mentioned in any of the Spectrum reviews or those of it's sibling products, ie: Nitro.)
Note: The creator of the "NoLED" app (madmack) says it was developed for the Samsung Galaxy S which also has no LED. It displays "dots" (or icons, if desired) on the screen for unread notifications and can also provide repeating vibe and/or audible reminders. It's free (donations appreciated) and works well for me. It's definitely worth a look.

Fast, lightweight, price.
by akl41 on January 25, 2012
Pros: Wonderful virtual keyboard. Nice bright screen. Lightweight. Would definitely recommend this to a friend! And, cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, with only a .15 difference in screen size.
Cons: You have to take a different route when viewing picture messages if you wish to enlarge them. A bigger phone than what I am accustomed to.

Summary: I went with this phone after I returned the Samsung Stratosphere because of their terrible physical keyboard (I am a heavy texter, and always told myself that I couldn't be without one), and this phone rocks! I would've given it a 5 star rating, but if you want to view an enlarged picture message, you have to save it to the SD card first, then go to the Gallery, then you can enlarge it. Sound quality is great, beautiful bright screen and YES, I can easily text on this virtual keyboard! To save battery life, simply disable the data access over Mobile network. You can still call, text and use your Bluetooth.
Still running Gingerbread, but will be updating to ICS within the upcoming months.

Great at everything except using it as a phone.
by SnickerdoodleDog on May 22, 2012
Pros: 4g and graphics are excellent.
Cons: Categorical app sorting is a bit cumbersome. The call microphone is horrible. Either your hand hinders it or the noise cancelling function cuts you off if its not right up against the side of your mouth.
Summary: Overall, I'm happy with the phone, so long as I have my ear-bud nearby.

Perfect for moderate usage; unbeatable display.
by tculkin on May 1, 2012
Pros: Spectacular large display, very light and thin, responsive to the touch, and inexpensive. With moderate use, battery lasts 12 hours.
4G speed faster than my 21 MB cable source.Cons: Plastic back shows fingerprints (completely overcome by using an after-market skin).
If used extensively, battery will be exhausted in 6 hours.Summary: I read all the cons before my purchase, yet the attractiveness of the display outweighed them all and, after 2 weeks daily use, none of the cons were found to ...
