hi I'm Kent chairman senior managing editor here at Cena today were to take a first look at the LG escape for AT&T now I've long said it saying it that LG has an image problem and its image problem is it doesn't really have one it hasn't had a lot of home run devices here in the US and it doesn't have a lot of duds either and this phone is a perfect example of that it's perfectly serviceable but it doesn't really offer anything we haven't seen before and it doesn't offer anything particularly special it does have a nice solid feel in the hand do like the ribbed material that runs all the way around the edge there is a 4.3 inch display it is qhd doesn't have the brightest resolution so that we've seen so it's not going to compare with limited the galaxy s3 or something like that but skipping on the screen specs does keep the price a little low it is only forty nine dollars with a contract which is nice that you get five home screens I like that the phone does support Ice Cream Sandwich so not quite jellybean but at least it gets ice cream sandwich so all the features you'd expect from there of course you could personalize that display with all the folders and widgets and everything you need inside you'll find the menu design just what you'd expect the feature set is pretty mid-range does have a 1.2 gigahertz dual-core processor though it does support AT&T LTE network so I put it to quite the test yet as how fast it is but I'm expecting it to be pretty good on the back you'll see that there's a camera lens there is no flash down below the display are the three standard touch controls on the top there's a 3.5 millimeter headset jack on the bottom there's the microUSB port I do like the placement of both of those the having the micro USB port on the bottom means you can use the phone while it's being charged and then having on the top means you can't carry it in your pocket and the headset just comes out of course there's bluetooth there's going to be Wi-Fi there's going to be all the features you'd expect from an Android phone here on the side there's a volume rocker I could find it when I was on a call which is nice and over here is the power controls all in all a pretty standard Android device does have all the features I need does have a dual core processor does have a droid for dodo and the LTE support just doesn't go much beyond that but again the design is nice it is solid is functional in the hand so you need a serviceable android phone for not a lot of money only fifty dollars to the contract you probably can't go wrong with the LG escape I'm Ken Sherman here the first look at the LG escape you
