LG Nitro HD Hardware Overview

2011-12-18
everyone is Jeffrey and with pocket now calm and it's time to take a look at the hardware performance and specs of the LG nitro HD and we are back now before we start looking into the physical hardware of this device the LG nitro HD let's go ahead and talk about some of these specs that are actually running behind the scenes I just over all the measurements itself it's a 4.5 inch high-definition screen is an LCD screen which the jury is still out will actually give you a comparison the next few minutes of this LCD versus an AMOLED screen the resolution on this 4.5 inch screen is 720 x 1280 so it is officially an HD screen it has a pixel density of 329 ppi pixels per inch on the processing side of things this device is powered by a dual-core 1500 megahertz or 1.5 gigahertz processor one gigabyte of RAM on the storage side of things it has 4 gigabytes of built-in memory for your applications pictures media you name it it does have a micro SD card slot which is capable of using up to 32 gigabytes and on the radio side of things this is an eighteen t phone as you can see right here it's branded right by AT&T it's not unlocked at least right off the bat so it's going to be compatible your typical AT&T bands of 850 900 1800 1900 and 20 megahertz respectively vary their LTE will run a different spectrum it's actually going to use some 700 which i believe is class 17 as well as 1700 in the 21 megahertz spectrum for the LTE 4G side of things staying with the radio theme this guy is capable of using Wi-Fi b/g/n and has bluetooth 3.0 it's not the newest four point oh but it is somewhat up there so let's go ahead and dive in now to the device itself the first thing we want to show off here and we've noted in the past video so there are three capacitive buttons instead of having for LG is opted to have three of caution of your home button your back button and the button on the left side actually doubles as a search and a menu button so by long pressing you'll actually able to search and by just tapping one time you'll be able to bring up the menu moving to the bottom of the device you'll have the ability to take off the bat coverage will do in a second on the left side you're going to have the volume rocker up and down switch the top the device will have the headphone jack of course 3.5 millimeter you're off in your lock or power in your lock button and then you'll have your micro USB charging port it has a door over that port which is all personal opinion you may not like having these extra ports hanging when you're charging it but it does also provide protection so you may not get anything stuck in there moving over to the right side of the device it's smooth there are no camera buttons nothing along those lines and as you can see here the device is is relatively thin it has a very very sturdy build to it the back has a industrial look it's plastic but it almost looks like a steel or a galvanized theme it's going to have the 8 megapixel rear camera with an LED flash capable of recording up a 1080p and the front camera will be 1.3 megapixel for the video our next two videos will actually be testing the video recording of these two cameras let's go ahead and get the back cover open as you'll see on the battery it is an 1800 30 million power battery will have your SIM card slot and your microSD card slot which it comes with a 16 gigabyte so I'm going to keep in mind though it is upgradeable to 32 gigabytes AT&T has begun rolling out their network in places like Boston Massachusetts it's not everywhere yet but it is a slow build out and they will get there eventually if we go ahead and bring up the speed test application we actually went to Boston right in the center of boston actually in cambridge and ran a few speed tests let's go the results real quick over here now as you can see the first few tests that we ran i'll zoom in a little bit the first few tests that we ran were on 3g so we're looking at roughly 2.2 up not even half down as you can see we're pretty low we're below to except for the first text test two megabytes per second up and in many cases very poor ping times and upload speeds but the most recent two were done in a 4g area as you can see we have almost 1d it's actually 19 megabits per second down and almost 10 up the big thing to keep in mind here are the ping times also increased drastically so in our numerous testing both with the speed test application and just typical web browsing 80 s 4g LTE does pass our tests if you're in an LTE area we actually went ahead and ran the same test on a verizon wireless 4g LTE device in the same exact spot with the droid razr and we actually got lower speeds now that may have been because of the time of day these down here are on Wi-Fi these appear on the 4g LTE better ping time but slower speeds that may have been because of the time of day early in the morning maybe there are more verizon customers in the area it's one of those things will have to further test to see who is the clear-cut winner running a limp act protest you'll see the Nitro come in at just over 53 m flops per second running a multi thread test will give it 78 almost almost ATM flops per second running a full benchmark in Quadrant with the nitro HD coming in just over 2,300 2,300 22 to be exact we decided to pit it up side by side with the motorola droid razr which as you can see fared a little better with a score of 26 6 6 since you've already ran the test of these two side-by-side let's go ahead and look at the screens will actually go to pocket now calm now the nitro HD does have a higher resolution and a higher pixel density as a result however it is an LCD screen whereas the droid razr is an AMOLED screen it may be hard to tell on the camera but while the nitro HD does appear brighter the colors look almost washed out whereas with the droid razr they seem much more accurate much deeper the Blues for example look much deeper one of the latest buzz words is in fact the pixel density and putting them side-by-side you can actually tell and see that the nitro HD does have a much better pixel density the camera may not pick it up but if we actually zoom in here on these same text area on our main page you can actually see the individual pixels and some jag eNOS in the font on the droid razr whereas in the nitro everything looks very smooth and that has been our harder overview of the LG nitro HD if you enjoyed this video please give it a thumbs up if you have any questions or if you'd like to see further details on this device please navigate on over to our main page with the leak in the description thanks for watching everyone
