Great budget phone for $150 or under!
Phone owned for less than a month

Had this phone so far about 2 1/2 weeks and it's great for the price. Big screen, big battery, USB c charger and a 3.5mm jack as well as a fingerprint scanner. Phone so far has never freezed on me even when I tried split screening some apps using the multi window function. Speakers on the bottom as well as the top for some people without earphones. Storage says 32gb but only 16gb is usable which is okay as long as you have a microsd or don't download a bunch of huge games over 1 gb each but a few is fine. Has Android pie 9.0. Camera is solid for the price don't expect it to compare greatly to flagships but it's just okay in that regard. Only true cons of this phone are the Google assistant button which is annoying spaced under the volume buttons and doesn't have much use since you can hold the home button on the screen. The screen resolution is also 720p but isn't a deal breaker when you compare the specs to other phones at similar price. Fingerprint scanner is on the back and is unusual at first but 2 weeks in I'm used to it. Lastly if this phone doesn't have a case your fingerprints can be seen all over the back of it. Ultimately if you want a phone at or under $150 that can perform solid that your looking to watch videos, take solid pictures for the price, as well as some quality of life features, this phone is for you. Lg in my opinion got this one right.
