LG Spectrum (Verizon Wireless)

Pros: camera, photo quality, screen resolution, 4G LTE, true 720p HD, 1080p Video, apps-a-plenty!

Cons: battery life could be better

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.
