Strangely, the LG Thrilll 4G is plagued by muffledvoices through its earpiece and speakerphone, which proves to be challenging in comprehending length conversations. Luckily, our callers on the other end of the line have better luck seeing that they’re greeted with clear and audible voices.
During our testing, we didn’t experience any major fluctuations with signal strength in high coverage areas within the greater Philadelphia area. However, we find it absolutely frustrating to find consistent dropped connection with its mobile hotspot functionality – meaning, Wi-Fi devices connected to it unexpectedly lose their connection to the handset.
Taking into account its beefy hardware and 3D aspects, it isn’t going to be forgiving with battery life. Rightfully so, this is the kind of handset that you’ll need to charge as often as you can since it eats battery like no other. With normal usage, which primarily consists of texting, web surfing, and the occasional phone call, we’re able to get close to the 10-hour mark before completely dying.
When it comes down to value, there’s no denying that the LG Thrill 4G exudes plenty of it from head-to-toe as it combines all of the lovely features found with any high-end smartphone on the market – plus, it’s tastefully complemented by its 3D capabilities. To tell you the truth, we still can’t take our eyes away from its $99.99 on-contract pricing because it’s not too often we see handsets of this caliber launching from the start with something so tantalizing. As we’ve seen, it doesn’t hit the high mark in all categories, but it’s a bit more forgiving due to its competitive pricing. We believe it has more pros than cons for this price, so it’s a no-brainer decision to pick this one up if you’re into the whole 3D thing.
