It's difficult to beat free, and the LG Lucid 2 is free on contract with Verizon Wireless. For your cash (as it were) you get a cell phone running Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean on a 1.2GHz double center Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus CPU with a gig of RAM and 8 gigs of inner stockpiling. The telephone has a sharp 4.3" IPS qHD show, a microSD card space and a removable battery. As you'd anticipate from a Verizon cell phone it has 4G LTE, double band WiFi, Bluetooth and a GPS. There's a front feature visit camera and a back 5 megapixel camera with HDR. Not very shabby in case you're searching for no money cost or you're beginning with your first cell phone.

Configuration and Ergonomics
In an ocean of tremendous Android telephones, the 4.3" LG Lucid 2 is out and out pocket-accommodating and simple to hold. The decreased sides look great and feel great in hand and the back is grippy textured plastic. The back isn't precisely chic, yet it is removable and it concedes access to the battery, microSD card space and small scale SIM card opening. It's not a terrible looking telephone, however it won't beat the HTC One or even the Samsung Galaxy S4 in a wonder rivalry. The 4.5 ounce telephone is 0.39 inches thick.

Likewise with most cell phones, the miniaturized scale USB port for charging and adjusting is at the base, the headset raise is top and the speaker is on the back. The volume rocker is on the left side and the force catch is at the upper right side. The 4.3" presentation overwhelms the front and there are 4 instead of the standard 3 Android capacitive catches beneath the showcase. In the event that you've utilized other Android telephones, the additional catch may toss you, and on the grounds that catch backdrop illumination doesn't go ahead until you touch a catch, its difficult to figure which one you ought to go for oblivious.

The LG Lucid 2 has a 960 x 540 IPS presentation that is sharp and genuinely splendid. LG makes decent shows and we have no protestations despite the fact that the telephone won't win any Retina rivalries for amazingly high determination. At 4.3", it truly does require an insane high determination to look great to the stripped eye. Survey points on IPS showcases are regularly the best in the business, skirting on 180 degrees. The apparently thick glass makes glare and light refraction here that reduce survey points a bit, yet its not terrible by any methods. Outside perceivability is not too bad, however not on a par with the first LG Lucid with its uncontrollably brilliant 600 nit show.

Calling and Data
LG Lucid 2
Initially the awful part: voice quality is simply acceptable. We noted fairly digitized and chattering discourse for approaching and active voice. Discussion wasn't impeded, however we needed to work somewhat harder to understand information exchanged on occasion. The uplifting news is that information speeds on Verizon's LTE system were strong and the telephone arrived at the midpoint of 17Mbps down and 4Mbps up as per Ookla's Speedtest.net application.
The Lucid 2 has the typical Mobile Hotspot include so you can utilize the telephone as a high velocity remote modem for your portable workstation or tablet. This is a CDMA cell phone with 3G EV-DO Rev. An and 4G LTE on Verizon's system. It is not a world telephone with GSM wandering capacities.
Execution and Horsepower
A year ago, a double center Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus was cutting edge, yet now the specs-fixated world has proceeded onward to quad center CPUs. Does that imply that the LG Lucid 2's 1.2GHz double center S4 Plus CPU with Adreno 225 representation is moderate? An incredible inverse: for normal clients this is an enthusiastic telephone that can handle web perusing, email, spilling feature and gaming like a champ. Will it stay aware of the top cell phones in 12 months' time in case you're playing the most recent executioner 3D diversion? Most likely not, but rather this is a passage level free telephone. And in 12 months' time it will at present handle web perusing and most recreations splendidly well; it just won't be the quickest. Regarding engineered benchmarks it shows improvement over most Android cell phones running on the same CPU and its similar to the Verizon Wireless Samsung Galaxy S III running on the same CPU (indeed, it improves on a few benchmarks).
Programming
The telephone runs Android OS 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, which isn't exactly the most up to date 4.2 accessible on telephones like the Nexus 4 and forthcoming Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4, however its sufficiently nearby that we won't gripe. At present, most telephones other than those two are shipping with the same OS form. The Lucid 2 has LG's Optimus 3.0 UI upgrades, and these are conditioned down from past forms (that is something worth being thankful for). The UI isn't domineering and the brisk access to settings and LG's handy reminder application are well done. Still, the symbols are a little cartoony and we get the inclination LG is replicating Samsung's TouchWiz here and there. The telephone backings signals like flipping the telephone to hush approaching calls or delay feature playback and it has a notice LED over the showcase. There's a "Starter Mode" improved UI alternative for novices.
Camera
Financial plan telephones don't frequently have great cameras, yet LG makes strong camera telephones and even the Lucid 2 oversees pictures and 1080p feature that are satisfying. At the cost, we're satisfied to see full HD feature recording and HDR photograph mode, and actually the telephone takes satisfying photographs and feature. No, it won't rival the 13MP Samsung Galaxy S4, yet I think passage level purchasers will be exceptionally content with the legitimately uncovered photographs and genuinely smooth feature caught by the LG Lucid 2. Simply don't expect low clamor, point by point dance club shots or obscure free feature of wearing occasions.
Battery Life
The 2460 mAh Lithium Ion offers more limit than numerous contending cell phones, and given the double center CPU and generally little show that equivalents strong battery life. We experienced no difficulty enduring the day on Verizon's LTE organize in a blend of web scanning, calling, email, 30 minutes of YouTube feature spilling and an hour of music playback with the screen off. The battery is removable so you can swap in an extra if necessary. LG offers a discretionary desktop dock that can charge both the telephone and a second battery.
