LG Lucid Review- Technology Times

This is a nice handset for those who can’t afford the upfront costs, but also don’t want a larger screen. Specifications of the LG Lucid include a 4-inch capacitive touchscreen display (with Corning Gorilla Glass on top), a 5.0 megapixel camera module (with LED flash and 1080p video capture), a front-facing video cam, a GPS, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi (with mobile hotspot), DLNA and micro SD card expansion.  It will ship with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, with an Ice Cream Sandwich update promised to be in the works.  The Lucid houses a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, a 4-inch Gorilla Glass covered touchscreen, 1GB of RAM, a 5-megapixel rear camera, and a front facing camera that can capture 1080p video.  Lucid by LG will be available starting March 29 in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores and online at www.verizonwireless.com for $79.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate with a new two-year customer agreement. Customers will receive the rebate in the form of a debit card; upon receipt, customers may use the card as cash anywhere debit cards are accepted.

 The mobile hotspot feature lets professionals connect to up to 10 Wi-Fi-enabled devices to the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network, making it easy for teams to work from a remote location.  Verizon neglected to include the phone's screen resolution, but if rumors are correct, that 4-inch touchscreen should measure in at 800 x 480 pixels.  Muscle is provided by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, paired with 1GB of RAM. Naturally, the device comes with LTE connectivity and is able to share its fast connection with up to 10 devices.  The Quick Dialer widget lets customers make calls directly from a home screen panel without having to open the phone application. Additionally, Lucid by LG has Guided Tours right on the device, which provides step-by-step tutorials for customers who want to learn more about their new phone. Wi-Fi n, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 3.0 and USB 2.0 are on board as well. Measurements aren't bad either at 119.1 x 62.2 x 11.4 mm and weight of 142 grams with a 1700mAh battery under the back cover.  The appearance looks a bit like a reworked LG Optimus Black with slightly harder corners that makes it just a bit more business-like than most phones in its price range.   It will ship with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, with an Ice Cream Sandwich update promised to be in the works.
