LG G3 Vigor to launch September 26th on AT&T
A bit more than a week ago, we told you that the LG G3 Vigor (aka LG G3s) would be finding a home at AT&T. Sure enough. AT&T has made it official and has announced a September 26th launch date. With a two-year signed contract, the phone is $4...

LG G3 Vigor coming to AT&T
It's just too bad that LG decided to call the LG G3 Beat the LG G3 Vigor in the states. Otherwise, we could have seen the Go Go's sing, "We've got the Beat" in a commercial for AT&T. Yes, the nation's second largest carrier is going to be offerin...

Not a great phone
Phone owned for more than a year

I had this phone for a bit over a year before it broke. I was always getting frustrated with it because of how poor it was performing. The phone had great ideas but it just wasn't delivering. I had to wait up to 5 seconds after exiting an app before I could go to a new one, even after searching for ways to stop it. I had to constantly turn the phone off due to overheating and the battery life was poor. TERRIBLE storage.

CNet rated it 2.5 stars
Phone owned for more than a year

I know that this is capable, but I gotta tell you why CNet rated this 2.5 stars: He said that the S stands for s**t. Its processor puts in a very poor performance, its screen resolution doesn't impress, it comes with a pitiful amount of storage and it's running on an old version of Android KitKat.
