LG Intuition : Unboxing and Quick Review

2012-09-24
what's up Android lovers this is Clayton Youngberg with Android authority calm your number one source for all things Android today I've got an unboxing and quick overview of the LG intuition for Verizon Wireless now we all know that Verizon Wireless is not huge in the phablet game they did not get the note 1 they did not get the HTC rumoured phablet that we were kind of hoping for but they did get the LG intuition and by considering I needed a new daily driver because I broke my Galaxy Nexus I decided I pick one up let's go ahead and unbox it go over a few of the specs I did purchase this today has been out for maybe a week at this time of filming and I am a Verizon Wireless customer so I decided I would get a phablet and try it out because I have been dying for the awesome screen size anyways I did have an enjoyable time at the Verizon for once I did not get any of the usual crap I would get a nice young lady helped me out with activating this phone and kind of telling me some of the features and some of the cool hot scoop for Verizon now anyways the LG intuition is a 5 inch device it's really really big as you can see right here in my hand it just looks massive we do have our galaxy s3 right here and it's almost it's nearly dwarfing the galaxy s3 and the galaxy history does have the 4.8 inch display now anyways other cool specs this does have a dual core processor it's a snack dragon s3 variety clocked at 1.5 gigahertz we've got one gigabyte of RAM we have 32 gigabytes of internal storage we'll get into some of the software here in a minute after we see what else is in the box so you have a nice little tassel here we can pull to reveal the rest of the contents we have our starting manual here we do have some LG NFC tags because this phone does have an NFC chip and with Android 4.0.4 we can definitely utilize the nice features of NFC anyways we have another compartment here here's where we find our stylus now on this stylus is a little less intuitive than the s-pen with the Galaxy Note 2 of course in fact we don't even have a place on the phone to keep the stylus so that's going to be a bothersome feature for some but you know you can buy other styluses in the store at any cellphone store really to use with this device it's not really anything special about this style is compared to aftermarket stylus you can use with any device so but we do have some cool intuitive features that I will get into things will set the stylus and the phone aside see what else we have we do have our travel adapter which is our AC adapter and our USB data cable this does not come with headphones apparently but that's not a huge bummer for me because I have so many pairs it's ridiculous now anyways this does have a screen resolution of 6 no excuse me of 768 by 1024 pixels so it's got a pretty nice resolution we've got a 256 PPI so the pixel density is pretty nice to kind of get in here and we can check this out anyways it's running Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich hopefully we do have the jellybean upgrade on the way this is also running the optimist UI which we saw on the lg optimus 4x HD the lg optimus G also will have the Optimus UI see we've got a 2080 milliamp battery not removable unfortunately so we've got a very thin profile it's really nice I like the display this phone does have a lot of haters but you know that's because we've got a lot of Samsung fanboys but here Android authority we aren't specific to any sort of brand we just love Android and if you're getting anything besides the iPhone 5 we commend you for it now as you can see we do have a lot of preloaded apps we've got a lot of cool features go ahead and look at some of the cool physical features of this phone as you can see right here on top we do have our little USB our microUSB slot we can in fact cover that up to protect any dust and debris from getting there this is our power button it has a nice illumination effect as you can see really classy this is a well-built phone we've got metal around the sides on the bottom we do have a plastic back here with some nice LG branding and of course the 4G LTE from Verizon our NFC chips located right down here got some speakers here 8 megapixel camera in the rear let's see we have in our front we've got 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera anyways this is our intuitive button for the quick memo of course when we press this button we capture a screenshot and it looks like I haven't used it yet so we're going to have to go through some initial steps which I will do later anyways this does have the dedicated capacitive buttons for the back home recent apps of course and then of course our menu button I have not played with this phone at all I actually put it back in the box right after activated it so I could give you guys a nice unboxing video of course we're gonna have comparisons software hardware is smack down between this MV galaxy s3 we're gonna have a full review for the LG intuition as well but just some other cool things about this we are running on the 4G LTE network from Verizon I don't have that in my area right now but we'll go ahead and go into some of the apps as you can see here it's giving me my initial instructions we have a row of five apps plenty of space can scroll through we also have our folder for downloads and widgets now I don't particularly hate the lg optimus UI but I am definitely definitely waiting for this to get a root method I'll probably put some cm10 on here and then we'll actually see some comparison between this and the note 2 now the s3 processor is a little outdated it's not as powerful as the Snapdragon s4 that we're seeing and especially not the Snapdragon s4 pro that's coming in variants of phones to the US and internationally now but it is very very powerful 1.5 gigahertz as you can see it is not lagging at all go ahead and try out our stylus here very responsive I'm going to be happy with this phone and of course if I'm not I'm going to be getting something else you guys know me and you know us at Android Authority we got to cover all of the great phones anyways this is the quick memo app you can simply tap right there we can click to shown up not show this screen again and then I can show you and that's taking a screenshot we can write on it make notes and stuff we can save it and also share it and of course like I said we'll get a full review of all the software and hardware about this phone anyways guys that was a quick unboxing and quick demo of some of the software and hardware features in the LG intuition for Verizon Wireless Verizon's first phablet phone first phone over five inches in screen size and I think this is going to be a promising phone it does have a lot of haters as I said and a lot of people are going to pick sites between this and the Samsung but we got to remember we're all Android fans here you know that's not something we should be disputing but it is everyone's opinion anyways guys
