LG Viper user reviews (Sprint)

Pros its a phone

Cons dropped calls, lag when texting, camera is abysmal, 3g speeds are slow, battery life is horrific

Summary It boggles my mind that someone would create a phone so poorly. Let me just start from the beginning. I got this phone back in May of 2012 instead of an iPhone just so I would be unique. It was probably the biggest mistake of my life. Right off the bat i hated the phone. I was issued the phone at about 50% of battery, and it died when I was walking out of the store. I still, to this day, cannot use the phone on 3G speeds because it drains my battery in about an thirty minutes without use. I don't have apps because they lag out my phone. I don't have music because the speakers are terrible. I don't have pictures because the camera is worse than the flip phone i had before. All in all, this phone was a terrible decision. Its now March of 2013, and I am stealing my mom's upgrade to get the iPhone 5. Please, don't make the mistake I made. Get and iPhone or a GS III.

Pros Everything about this phone was better than my evo4g.

Cons The only thing this phone lacks is an hd screen.

Summary This phone is the best deal you can get from sprint.

Pros SCREEN CAMERA BATTERY LIFE AND THE SIGHTNAL. can talk and surff at the same time.

Cons NO ICS NO ICS NO ICS NO ICS NO ICS. The battery get kinda hot. bulky

Summary This is not my first smart phone i have had the sanyo zio, lg opt... s droid razer the iphone 4, samsung nexus s 4g and the galaxy nexus. This is the mpst underated phone. cnet have done a horrible review with this phone they failed to mention that this phone can talk and surrf at the same time over 3g. (AT&t thing)
When it comes to my phones, I dont settel, and i also listen to and look at the less, and the more importain things.
First off calling on this phone is great not i do at sometimes hear a echo in the background (but no all the time)
2nd 3g/4g speeds and roaming 3g for the most part is slow but thats with what every sprint phone i got. 0.95 mbs at best verizon iphone speeds. With this phone you can talk and surff at the same time over 3g and 4g and wifi. 4g was great but standing next to my friend with the droid razer and the lg spectum it helded it own(but lost).
roaming with sprint is so badd it makes no sence, speeds can get up to 0.02 mbs up, to 22kbs up to 40kbs dwn. with roaming with sprint it dont matter what phone you get when your roaming and on the internet when someone calls you it sent the call striaght to voicemail. WITH EVERY SPRINT PHONE NOT JUST THIS ONE.

battery last a pretty long time but it not long enough. I have the samsung galaxy nexus and the bettery life suchs and sighnal. i call lg and sprint about ics but THEY DONT HAVE AND UPDATE for it yet and they dont have and update for the lg lucid or the lg spectrum yet. i hate the lg platfrom and they dident even think to add the lg ul to this phone.BUT THIS IS A VERY GOOD PPHONE

Pros A steal for $O. now @ Sprint. This phone has all the capabilities of The I phone 4 S, and the top of the line Samsung,+ HTC phones Sprint is offering at $199.

Cons projected weak battery

Summary Excellent phone for any price. However it's now a Free item @ Sprint.I upgraded mine form the 8 g storage to a 32G storage for less than $15 /Amazon.com , and also upgraded my battery /Amazon for a reasonable price to assure the longer life and fun to optimize the usage of my music, and downloads I enjoy. Overall The Viper to me is a nicer phone than the Evo 4g I had this past year.

I would recommend this phone over Evo,4 GLTE, or the Galaxy III 4G LTE for now. Simply because the 4G isn't in my area for another year, so why waste your money when The LG Viper can do what the competition can for a lot less.
