hi I'm Nate Roth with Cena today we're checking out the LG unified this is 130 dollar smartphone only available from walmart and it's one of three phones that you can get on virgin mobile's custom prepaid phone plan now this isn't the most compelling smartphone around but it's got a really flexible subscription plan and pretty good battery life so it could be a good option if you're on a tight budget this is not an impressive device it's plastic and cheap but not flimsy I'm not necessarily afraid to drop it or put it in my pocket as it feels sturdy enough but it's thick and light and generally lacking the haft and premium feel of high-end devices the four-inch screen has a measly 800 x 480 pixel resolution and the 5 megapixel camera on the back cranks out photos that are largely hit-or-miss better and bright outdoor light but generally looking a bit fuzzy and lacking detail there's also the only one gigabyte of storage so you'll really want to expand from micro SD card the phone can handle up to 32 gigs the battery life is pretty good though the phone set for about 12 hours of video playback before the battery died and it's removable need to pop off the rear cover so you shouldn't need to worry about tracking down an outlet too often but the real star here is Virgin Mobile's costume prepaid service it makes it really easy to design a plan that's right for you and then adjust things on the fly until you get your monthly usage patterns just right everything is controlled by an app called custom you can add or subtract minutes and text messages and upgrade or download your monthly data then the app gives you a concise little estimate of how much your bill will be at the end of the month if you just you're planning your bill is higher there we turn to difference if your new plan ends up a bit lower than your current one you'll get the difference as a credit towards your next bill it's all really easy and the LG unified to prove really attractive if you're on a tight or flexible budget I want to wreck control over how much your pain now I suspect most people will just figure out their monthly use plan and then set it and forget it but I have a sneaking suspicion that a quite a few people are going to want to do say dial up their minutes around the holidays and then real those back in when the holidays are over they don't really need to talk quite so much I'm Nate Ralph be sure to check out the full review to see how the phone measures up thanks for watching you
