what's up everyone John Wright here from TechnoBuffalo here at that I'm blocking for you of the LG Mark II it's a mid to high range Android smartphone for Sprint's let's go ahead and see if there's something good written on the marquee alright so here is the LG Mark II it's going to take a quick look at the box typical sprint you got a picture of a dude and yellow shirt with yellow socks looking really happy playing with this phone there's a picture of the phone these are life-size drawn to scale so the phone is actually about 17 feet tall this guy is very tiny blocked off some information there's and stuff on the box telling you about what's in it but we're gonna see that in a minute LG Mark II and some more LG Marty business here great let's go ahead and dig it open hopefully a little guy is not included in the box here is the LG Mark II just sitting there chillin in its cardboard house I'll go ahead and make it homeless push it off to the side this one is extremely light I wonder if the batteries in there got in here a micro SD SD card adapter not sure if that would just include in our review unit this was sent to us from Sprint or if maybe there's something else going on that maybe you're gonna get that in your box as well we've got some books yay getting started guides if you want to recycle your old phone Sprint's really good about providing an envelope to do so I encourage you guys to recycle your old phones the batteries inside the old devices can be really hazardous to the landfills we've got micro USB cord and we've got the charging cord or cable rather for the wall adapter is what I'm looking for plugs in they do this thing out of the plastic I don't work alright so the batteries in here pretty impressive actually how like this phone is let me do a little a little zooming in action here for you let's take a look at the phone itself hey here's the phone itself alright let me go ahead and peel off the plastic here I know you guys love looking at those displays we have it on the back we do if we will peel this off as well come here plastic let's go ahead and power this sucker on and hopefully it's got enough juice to start working and I can run you through this specs because there's actually a lot to what's like about the phone alright so here is the lg Marquis it has a 4-inch ultra bright Nova display of course that's measured diagonally it's got a resolution of 480 by 800 so that's WVGA see it doing this whole startup business they're being powered by a 1 gigahertz single core processor 512 megabytes of RAM on the back side it's got a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash that's not the only cameras guys rockin it's got a 2 megapixel shooter on front living right there see it comes with the funky background evidently pre-installed on here as well uh 2 gigabyte microSD cards pre-installed with 1500 milliamp hour battery which must weigh 0.0 pounds this one is extremely light the whole thing is going to waste 3.95 ounces alright so there's a phone get it kicked up there and let's do a quick tour of the device power back on ok on the left hand side the volume rocker up and down got a hard button for launching the camera ever you want that hard button to launch on the right hand side nothing you get nice straight lines there bottom microphone on the top there's where the charging ports going to be located under a door hate doors but that one just slides off to the side you can plug it in you've got your power and lock but on the upper right hand corner which is my favorite position to have those that's my favorite position and we've got a 3.5 millimeter headset jack on the back it's hard plastic very sort of reflective looking sort of space-age if you can see me somewhere I get my face in there boom there I am hi this is me talking to you in a phone's reflection on a camera alright it's Monday morning what do you watch me you guys alright so let's go ahead and power this thing on let's take a look at what's powering it jump right into settings it looks like a relatively unskilled version of Android which is kind of nice to see of LG a demanding in here looks like pretty native need of gingerbread so let's double check that let's jump into settings you also have support for Sprint's IDs you can switch different IDs but essentially like themes for the phone you know nothing overly fancy there I'll go ahead and scroll down to the bottom about phone and we are running Android 2.3.4 right there pretty decently responsive so far I've got four capacitive buttons across the bottom typical ones it expects home you've got your menu button your back and your search anything else here is sort of as it should be nothing else overly exciting here going on I am John Retton German TechnoBuffalo and this looks to be a pretty good option actually if you are in the market for a mid to high range phone you don't want to check prices online because it's changed all the time at least right now this is 100 bucks on a two-year contract if you want a thin light phone that can do Android and hopefully do Android pretty well you guys can go ahead and pick this up today from Sprint stay tuned for a full review here of the LG marque I'm John Retton or who TechnoBuffalo and I like scrolling through screens
