Boost Mobile - LG Tribute HD 4G LTE with 16GB Memory Prepaid Cell Phone - White

Fantastic phone at the Black Friday price. This phone is missing some of the bells and whistles, features such as Mirror Cast, Wireless Remote Control, and NFC. However, the one feature that is a must have are alerts for calls or text messages, and after searching was happy to discover that you CAN use the flash as an alarm or alert. These are the steps: Tap on Settings (icon of gear) Then tap on the General tab (in tab view) Tap on Accessibility "Use settings for people with physical disabilities". Under "Persistent notifications" Tap on right to change it to "On". Tap on the left side "Persistent notifications" and new screen will appear where you can set "Alerts are repeated at set intervals for selected apps." In "Repeat interval" you choose the "Repeat interval" as Every 15 sec, or Every 30 sec, or Every 60 sec, or Every 90 sec, or Every 120 sec Then Under "APPS TO SELECT" Tap to turn "On" for the specific apps To set the flash as an alert: Go to Settings Then go to Accessibility Tap Hearing. Tap on right side of Flash alerts "Flash blinks for incoming calls, messages and alarms" to change to "On". Tap on Flash alerts and the "Missed alerts" option appears tap to turn On "Flash blinks every 12 sec for missed calls and unread messages" Unfortunately, there is no option to change the flash blinks time. Also if you having difficulty with sending or receiving emoji's. Here is the Fix for sending or receiving emoji's. Tap the "Messenger" icon Tap on the 3 little dots in the top right corner of the screen. Tap on "Settings" and then tap on "Advanced" and turn OFF Use simple characters, No blue dot. Much happier now after making these changes.

For the price, I love the phone. I've purchased the prior 2 year budget LG Black Friday $20 specials (2014 LG Realm, 2015 LG Tribute 2). I wish this had a colored LED notification light like the LG Realm. Although it's not listed on the specs, FM radio works, with the Next Radio app and headphones as an antenna. I love the 5" screen and larger storage of 16 GB (compared to 4 GB and 8 GB for the prior years). I use a microSD card to store my music and podcasts. I am a very basic user (email, Google Voice, youtube videos, mp3 player, internet browsing, navigation, and in conjunction with my Valentine 1 radar detector). I don't game. It may not be the fastest phone, but for my needs, it does well. Navigation with Waze and Google Maps works great. I get fast location lock upon launching the app. Camera is OK, but my other phone is an LG G4 which had the best camera in 2015 and still is excellent compared to today's flaghips. Battery life is OK, but then again, I'm not a heavy user. The phone is slim and light. I originally used this phone on Ring Plus, then Ting briefly, and now Freedompop. I haven't experienced any random shutdowns, freezing or other problems. It has run flawlessly. I'm a big fan of LG phones. Double tap to wake and sleep are features difficult to live without. Knock code is also an awesome feature. It's also nice to have a removable battery. I carry two phones, this and an LG G4.

I was tired of the overpriced monthly costs of Sprint, so I wanted a pay as you go alternative. I had an LG G2, so that is my comparison phone. I liked the idea of a replaceable battery, as I know that batteries don't last. My G2 got to the point of needing to be recharged daily, even when I didn't use it. However, this battery doesn't last as long as I would like. Generally 4 days in standby, even though I shut it down nightly, and have all the apps turned to no notifications. I very seldom use the apps, generally only using it as a personal phone. I had seen tests between this and a much more expensive phone (don't remember which), and this one performed equally well. That, and the ability to add a memory card, made the decision to buy this one easy. I can live with the reduced capabilities of the camera, as smart phone cameras just can't replace a DSLR. I just don't like the short battery life.

I've been looking for a decent Android and looking to stay under $150. since I'm always getting phones wet or braking them while kayaking, hiking/backpacking, etc. I got this phone after reading a few reviews on Boost's site and took the plunge. WOW, very impressed with the strong call quality on speaker or speaker phone, battery is very good, screen is very good at 297PPI, camera and video is very good, and some bloatware can be deleted. Bang for the buck is BIG on this phone and I'll probably get another as backup. I had the Moto G4 Play for 2 days and returned it..speaker distorts voices and music.

I purchased the Boost Mobile - Lg Tribute Hd 4g Lte With 16gb Memory Prepaid Cell Phone - White strictly for it's 16GB internal memory. My previous prepaid phones only had 8GB, barely enough memory for apps and updates. In the past with 8GB phones, I would have to shuffle apps, pictures and other items just to have enough memory for apps to update. Now with 16GB there's more than enough memory so I don't have to worry. I didn't add a micro SD card yet but there's the option to do that. My only gripes are that the built-in email program couldn't configure for manual IMAP settings like I could with other phones and that I can't really configure the home screens to display apps in a way that would be more convenient for me. I guess I can't have it all with this phone but for the price and 16GB it's worth it.

The LG Tribute HD is great with a low price tag. Offers ample amount of space for my needs. Has some nice features my last LG didn't offer, sleek and polished look with the thin white design, good sized screen with crisp image, awesome camera, clear sound and the best reception I've ever gotten through boost. This is my 5th phone under boost plan over 8yrs. I snagged this HD on sale for $40 and would def buy again at that price - its worth double that! Didn't give 5 stars because it does freeze up a little too often. Once a day I'll have to restart the app I'm in because it freezes up but im too impatient to wait and see if it corrects before I close out and restart so....either way, not a deal breaker for me!

I finally had to retire my LG Venice after 6 years- was getting memory errors as the phone is 4GB, So it was time to get a new one, Love Boost and Love the Venice phone for the 6 years- so it was a natural fit to get another LG phone- Looked on line on the LG site on the latest models and this had it all that I needed- not really into allot of apps and with the expandable SD card that you can ad, It's 8GB memory internal + the SD card- if you are not really into allot of apps, and want an all around reliable, sleek good phone this is a good option- Best Buy has a price break on it now so for $50 it was a no brainer. Very happy with this phone.

Decent phone for simple, basic tasks. 1.5GB RAM and 16GB storage space, about 9GB is actually usable free space. Doesn't have a power house processor, but it gets the job done. Not too much bloatware, and most can be disable. 5" 720p screen is okay. Text is clear and sharp, but doesn't have the brightness, contrast, or pop. I know this sounds weird, but one problem might be this phone is too thin? The phone is super glossy and slick. The back is not textured at all, which combined with the thinness makes it hard to hold and easy to drop. It also has a small battery combined with a large 5" screen results in disappointing battery life at around 4-5 hours SoT (Screen on Time).
