| LG Optimus C (Cricket Wireless) |
The LG Optimus C is a tri-band (850/1700/1900 MHz) EVDO Rev A device with 802.11b / g Wi-Fi. It is connected to my WPA2-encrypted Wi-Fi networks without any problems. The reception was okay, but I was roaming on the MetroPCS network here in New York, so I'm not ready to draw a conclusion on the cover of indigenous cricket. Call quality is OK in general. Voices sounded good and clear in the earpiece, with a slightly hollow quality. At the other end, calls with the phone had a touch with some soft background noise, but still audible. Some background noise came through so well, if I was still able to hear voices over. Invite sounded great with an icon Aliph Jawbone Bluetooth Headset ($ 99, 4 stars) and voice dialing works well without training. The speaker was also just high enough for outdoor use. Battery life was average of 5 hours and 49 minutes of talk time.
Cricket monthly plan costs $ 55 to C Optimus voice, data and SMS, which is a pretty amazing value for the price.
Apps, Camera, multimedia, and Conclusion
The Optimus C runs on a Qualcomm MSM7627 600 MHz ARM11 processor. It runs on Android 2.2, "Froyo" which gives a significant performance gain and the function range of devices still running earlier versions of the OS. There are five home screens you can slide adapted from the default display updated Facebook status, text messages, and weather. Although I find these very useful, they are easy to change. LG added a profile feature for Android, the ability to organize apps into folders.
Fortunately, Cricket Optimus leaves the C mostly bloatware free. The browser works well, even if the phone's processor is too slow to support Flash. LG officials including Facebook and Twitter and Google search applications preinstalled and configured by default in the phone's main screen. You also have access to Android Market, which houses more than 100,000 downloadable applications, we must all work harder, taking into account the standard resolution of Android phones and construction 2.2.
A microSD card slot is located under the battery cover and the phone comes preloaded with a 2GB card, my 32GB SanDisk card worked fine as well. There are about 170 MB of internal memory. The music player is the Android stock. It was fast and responsive, and displays album art if available. The sound quality is excellent on both a pair of headphones Wired 3.5 mm, and Altec Lansing BackBeat Bluetooth Headset ($ 99.99-$ 129.99, 3.5 stars). Video playback was also strong, and play video smoothly in full screen with stereo sound through a wired headset and Bluetooth.
The 3.2 megapixel camera has autofocus, but no LED flash. Photos taken were quite good, with medium details and lighting relatively balanced. Pictures taken indoors does not seem as good as those outside, but it was still usable. Shutter speeds were average, although the autofocus has added a little late. Record video at 640 by 480 pixels and 18 frames per second in full light, and they looked pretty decent. Overall, would you not want to replace a good digital camera with Optimus C, but it will do in a pinch.
At the end of the day, C LG Optimus Optimus like all other phones out there in another company, which is a good thing they Optimus phones are the best entry-level Android devices. Cricket remains the option Android Huawei Ascend ($ 139.99, 3 stars), is currently $ 10 more expensive than Optimus C, and also much less powerful. We did not examine the BlackBerry Curve 8530 for cricket, but the version we looked at MetroPCS ($ 169.99, 4 stars) is a solid unit for users who want to text and e-mail, it has a keyboard large QWERTY keyboard and good voice quality. But Optimus C has a better web browsing experience, and a catalog app much better third. This, combined with the functionality of many other awards and extraordinary levels to make LG Optimus C a winner.
