The size of the handset is perfect, in terms of the size of the body its no larger than a Motorola RAZR Maxx but has a lovely screen from edge to edge - the bezels are tiny. It sits in the pocket very well indeed.
Camera location isnt our bag, its right next to the volume up button ob the back and we always seem to hit the camera glass by mistake putting a finger print on one place you really dont want it. This should have been placed higher and to one side.
Build quality is good and the rear plastics seem to be ok to hold and not that slippy.
The display seems to be bright and punchy however it did remind us of the LG 4X in terms of its viewing angles there is a slight tint as you move the handset around.
LG have done a great job with the look of the handset and its size / weight.
We had a quick go with the camera and will post some examples up later on this week, but one stand out issue we noticed was the time it took to focus, well Ive focused quicker after 10 pints on a Friday night (or any other night for that matter) it seemed to take an age ! Once the shot was taken it did produce some half decent results, we reserve judgement on that.
The UI has been tinkered with in the same way Samsung rapes Android - lots of add ons and alike, which yes they are good but a few of them are sadistically useful, one being the text bar that pops up when you receive a text (very much like Paranoid Android) you dont have the leave the current app to reply to a text. We liked that alot. Others, well some were like kicking yourself in the bollocks for shits and giggles. The eye tracker I just dont understand that at all, "Knock On" is good when it works but this is just to save you flapping about at the back of the phone. Taking of which - get a case or that button might see some damage after not very long.
Anyway. More to come this week and we will go into detail about some of the phones features.
