The LG Lucid is one of the worst names for a smartphone, but I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of this value-priced device.
With hot Android phones such as the Galaxy Nexus costing $299 with a two-year contract, shoppers often turn to cheaper alternatives and end up with a crummy phone but the same monthly service payments as the more expensive devices.
I haven't reviewed one LG smartphone that I could recommend, but the Lucid, available for $79
online with a two-year contract, had more going for it than I expected.
The Good
Performance: The 1.2GHz dual-core processor zips along and I didn't experience any lag with the interface, playing games and using apps. Unlike the other LG phone I recently reviewed, I didn't have issues with bugs or crashes. The phone has 8 gigabytes of internal storage and more can be added with an SD card.
LTE: The data speeds on Verizon's 4G network continue to impress with download speeds often reaching 10-18 megabits per second. Unfortunately LTE is a big battery drain, and there's no way to disable it and stick with the slower and less power hungry 3G data network.
Camera: The 5-megapixel camera surprised me at how well it shot photos with its quick shutter and recorded 1080p video. There also is a front-facing camera for video chats and self-portraits. You won't win any photography contests, but it fairly impressive for a phone at this price.
Hardware design: At 4.69 inches long, 2.45 inches wide, and 0.45 inch thick, the LG Lucid is smaller than most Android phones. But it is has a fairly attractive, sleek design. I liked the plastic, dark red back, which was quite smooth. This phone looks a bit better than most Android devices.
Screen: At 4 inches and 480x800 pixels, the screen looked quite sharp and was easily viewable in sunlight.
Interface modifications: I liked the addition of controls for sound, Bluetooth, GPS, airplane mode and WiFi network in the notification pulldown menu. The email program and widgets also were above average for an Android 2.3 phone.
The Bad
Battery: A problem that plagued early LTE phones with Verizon returns with the Lucid -- the battery cannot make it an entire day on LTE. If I stayed inside on WiFi, I could limp through a full day of use. But connecting to LTE outside the home for more than a few hours drains about 10 percent of the battery per hour with moderate use.
Older Android OS: Android 4 has been out for months, but the Lucid, like many phones, is still running the older Android 2.3 software.
Keyboard: The default on-screen keyboard on the Lucid has terrible autocorrect. The Swype keyboard also is included and I enjoyed using it, but not everyone likes dragging their fingers across the keyboard to spell words.
Phone calls: While passable, callers had more complaints than usual about the voice quality when I was using the Lucid.
The app drawer: The one interface modification I disliked was the app organization. Rather than listing apps in alphabetical order, the app drawer is broken into categories such as "Media," "Verizon Wireless" and "Communications." Downloaded apps were kept in their own category. I found this to be an added hassle to find apps.
Buying advice
At $79 online, the LG Lucid is the best sub $199 Android phone that Verizon offers. However, I was annoyed with the battery life and often hit the low power alert after nine hours use. No matter the performance, smartphones without battery power when you need it are hard to recommend.
I would probably pony up the extra dough for the Droid 4, Galaxy Nexus or Droid RAZR and the better battery life. The $99 iPhone 4 also is a good alternative for someone trying to save a buck.
But if you can't afford the extra money for a phone with a better battery, you should probably reconsider a smartphone in general, considering the $1,800 you will shell out over the two years of the contract.
In today's world of touchscreens, each generation has gotten better but they all seem to be magnets for fingerprints and smudges.
The iEraser cleaning block is about the size of a deck of cards and has what the company website calls "a stable and uniform cleaning surface" on one side to clean your screen.
It's basically what we know as the chalkboard eraser of the past or dry eraser boards of today, and it works pretty much the same way.
Just take the microfiber cloth-like side and, with pressure, wipe it up and down until your device's screen is clean. There's no need for solutions or cleaners.
After using it for a few weeks on an iPad and iPhone, it still looks new and according to the company will never need cleaning itself.
No need for a charger
The JuiceTank case for iPhone 4 and 4S will be the first case on the market with a wall charger built into it.
This is the inaugural product from Detached, and it allows your phone to stay in the case and then attach directly to a wall outlet.
On the lower back side of the case is a plug that folds out when needed for a charger.
A microUSB port is also built into the case for pass-through charging.
The case is made of durable polycarbonate to protect of your device.
As an early special, the patent-pending JuiceTank is available for $55 if you contribute to the crowd-funding site Kickstarter, to help bring products
like this to the public.
Specific pledges will bring you more cases for a lower price; for example if you pledge $250, you'll receive five JuiceTank cases for the iPhone 4 and 4S.
Once it goes public late this summer, it is expected to cost $70,
Pump up the volume
The iFrogz Boost Near Field Audio speaker is a magical little wireless device.
All you do is put your iPhone or just about any other smartphone that has a built-in external speaker on top of the Boost and your music is amplified.
While many similar devices need a Bluetooth or wired connection, the Boost is a mini brick-sized device that just needs three AA batteries.
The Boost has wireless amplified technology to sync the audio with your device.
The translation: You hear much better sound from the Boost's pair of 2-watt speakers than from the speaker built into most handheld devices. Filling a room with sound would be a stretch, but having a speaker like this for my desk does rock.
An optional 3.5mm auxiliary line-in port is on the side along with a micro USB connection for DC power.
Details:
Lens for IPhones
A fish eye, macro and wide angle lens are included in the olloclip lens attachment for iPhones.
The ever-growing world of iPhoneographers will love the choices, which can be changed in seconds.
With the wide angle lens, you'll get the viewing angle expanded by 2X. The focal distance for the macro is 6 inches and the fish eye will give you about a 180-degree field-of-view.
The lens snaps on and off the iPhone 4 or 4S in seconds since it fits like a glove, but beware that it might not fit properly if you have a screen protector on your LCD.
According to the company, "The olloclip was designed to work with a 'naked' or 'caseless' iPhone."
As for results, the lens worked great for all its functions. An iPhone's camera does have its limitations, but since I always have it on me, a camera is always nearby. Adding the three lenses only makes this better.
When not in use, the lens comes with a cover and a microfiber material case for storage and cleaning.
