Great LG phone for Beginners
I bought this phone in a rush because my old one had suddenly stopped charging and it would take a couple weeks to work through getting the replacement. I needed an upgrade anyway, and this was definitely a bargain for me as it was cheaper than my old off-brand phones, yet it's a real flagship brand with customer service. I was very pleased when LG automatically sent me Android 10 to install on it. This means I'll be able to keep the phone for a long time; my old ones never had OS upgrades. It's a very good phone with a screen that's just a little bigger than my TCL LX which is kind of skinny, but this one is quite big enough for everything. The bloatware can be uninstalled (anything that only installs itself on WiFi can be removed) and the phone doesn't come with anything that it doesn't need except Facebook, which I promptly disabled. The newly installed OS operates very smoothly without taking up a lot of space and the settings are intuitive and easy to use. I especially like the Comfort View which tones down the screen's blue light in the evening. One thing I think is a little odd is it lacks any kind of notification light, not for charging or messages or anything. I would prefer to have one even if only to be assured that it's charging properly without turning on the screen. Another thing is the camera is just a little too smart, which is hard to explain. I first noticed this tendency on my iPad. The camera will blur certain details to focus on others, and you can end up with a rather poor quality appearance in some areas, such as doll hair that appears to be matted. My TCL LX will always record as much detail as it can, and most pics turn out beautifully. But despite this LG camera being the same resolution as the TCL, it records details in a peculiar way. It works excellently with pics of print and pages, however.

    Won't text or calls
    I got the phone a couple weeks ago. I've never been able to get the wifi calling to work and cannot text or receive them. Customer service (6) different reps have told me it's fine on their end. They offer to text me links and call backs. They don't hear me tell them I will not get either.

    More details should be given about the phones.
    Nice phone but it runs a little slow. The internal memory is only 16gb, something they failed to mention is the description.
