    I bought this phone for my 11 year old daughter. I needed to keep her up to date without breaking our budget. Her first choice was an apple phone. It can do anything mom, she said. All my friends have one mom! So, I compared I-phone 5's, Samsung 4's and this Verizon LG G Vista. This phone had everything they did, but ran on Android. The camera is just as good for Instagram and Facebook, and has all the cute little things you can add and has photo shop! The flash is cray good. The speakers are great and the storage is amazing. The MP3 is very easy to navigate, as everything else is. The speed is super fast and she is able to view many sites with ease and quickness. The 5.7 inch screen is a perfect size and it's gorilla glass, always a plus. Hello, my up to date 11 year old is thrilled. This phone rocks, it's better then mine ;) And it was on sale for $130.00.

    So I bought this device recently and I took some time to get to know it. Great features, although the buttons being in the back takes some getting used to. I actually posted a review to YouTube a week or two after I bought this phone, and the good review there still stands. Good battery life at an affordable price, certainly better than many higher priced devices (looking at you iPhone). only bummer is no stock flashlight widget and apps pre-installed that can't be erased, much like other phones though so no points taken off for that. Screen resolution is pretty nice and thin sides on the bezel makes things easier to use. Camera is also pretty good for a budget phone, maybe the best I've used thus far.

    I purchased the Verizon lg vista ,when I lost my phone I purchased this particular phone device for the simple reason of the big sized screen along with the actual size of the phone it self .The phones processor was a little slower then what I was used but sufficient enough ,but compared to the Samsung Galaxy note 5 but it totally did the job for the mean time . The phone was easy enough to use an to set up functions an personalize the setting to your own particular liking. LG Vista has a 3 mega pixel front facing camera with a 8 mega pixel rear facing camera . Personally i recommend the no-contract LG vista to other people, because this particular phone you can also use on a contract verizon line ,which most non-contract phones you can't use a prepaid device on contract for particularly Verizon any way .The Verizon Lg vista all in all very much resembles to the comparision of a contract Lg G3 & the Lg G4 . Its kind of like a watered down version of those 2 devices . 1-10 I rated this item at an 8 for quality an performance .

    I had bad reception at my house and many other places on Virgin's network so I broke down and paid more for the verizon network. The phone gets good signals and I have no problem hearing calls. It's just everything else about the phone thats bad. The power button and volume keys are on the back which just feels bad. You can double tap the screen to turn it on, but this can be a problem when listening to music. My music app has a little widget that shows up on the unlock screen to pause it or skip a track and I have had that happen while its in my pocket or accidentally do it when grabbing my phone. I've tried to turn it off, but I cant. 4GB of the 8GB is used up right away and its not something you can get into and delete parts of. Its one big file in your misc file folder. But hey, the battery is good and the phone is fast.

    The LG Vista is available in the marketplace as both a contract phone and without a contract. I bought the no-contract plan with Verizon from Best Buy and buy the $45 cards and pay that way each month. Either way, it is a nice phone. The Best Buy salesman was very helpful with the selection and setup of service and email. I primarily use the phone just for making calls, e-mail, texts, and occasionally checking the Internet. Camera works fine, and the phone has useful features. Battery life is very good. I don't download movies or video. Best Buy does not carry a case for the LG Vista unfortunately, but not to worry. I found a selection of cases elsewhere, and bought a model from a brand named Cocomii. Couldn't be happier with Best Buy.

    This phone is nice for the price and for being a no-contract device. I had been with Virgin Mobile for several years and was tired of them for numerous reasons. So far, Verizon has been much better service and coverage wise. The camera on this phone isn't the greatest, but I don't take lots of pictures anyway, so that isn't a huge deterrent in my book. The pre-loaded apps are mostly useful and I've been able to download my personal favorites quite quickly and easily. I like the larger screen this phone offers, too. All in all, it's a decent value and nice phone for anyone who doesn't require all the bells and whistles of high end products.

    Love the huge 5.7" screen - was the main selling point for me. Easy to use. Great camera. Bought on Black Friday and so far all is good - haven't had much time to check out all the features but am looking forward to seeing all that phone can do! I would recommend this phone.

    I've went back and forth wondering if I should get a cheaper phone, or go with a contract and get a pricier phone. This phone surprisingly is just as good as any expensive phone I've ever used. I don't use a ton of data, so it meets my needs quite well. It's a better bargain (data wise) to go with a contract, but then you have to consider the high cost of the phone you'll have to buy. It has all of the features as an expensive phone... It's slim, runs fast, good battery life, good camera. I'm glad I made this purchase.

    BEST SMARTPHONE FOR THE PRICE

    The LG G VISTA, is by far the best phone for the price that I have came across. Very easy to use all features,and it has plenty. The volume is great, the 8 mg.pixal front facing camera is excellent, and the 5 mg . rear facing camera is great to. If you don't know how to do something, the directions are right the=e to show you. It has the bigger screen, 5.4 inches (I think) that's a big plus for me. Just fyi, I went to Verizon and purchased the Dual Pro Protection Case for the phone.Every time I put it on the phone, the phone like freezes and want work as long as the case is on it. I love my phone though.

    The LG Android phone has a lot of nice features, has a big screen, not heavy, and it is fairly intuitive to use. Its biggest drawback is that it only has 8 gigabytes of memory of which nearly all is consumed by the system. That leaves little room for apps, and even with a 64 gig SD card the storage space is actually inadequate. Very few apps could be moved to the SD card unlike photos which are easy to move. So if you use a lot of apps, I think you should start with a phone that has a lot more Systems memory.

    Screen size is great especially if you have bad eyes, user friendly, camera is great but you cant turn off the shutter noise which I don't like, and the selfie view is not good quality its like 3.0 mgp. There are a lot of apps on here that take up space that don't need to be on here which is a bit disappointing. Works great though.

    Almost a week in and I am very happy with this phone. Nice, large screen, tons of features. The resolution is not the greatest, but for a screen this size it's tough to nitpick. The phone so far offers snappy response while navigating back and forth from app to app. Thanks LG for bringing such a great device to the prepaid phone arena.

    I am NOT a tech head, but I find this phone very easy to navigate. the camera and the speaker that is on this phone are far better than my last phone, which was the straight talk product.I believe I got a very good product for the price.

    I've had this phone for about two years and love it. For a prepaid option, it has plenty of features and you can't beat the low price for this android phone and a payment plan of only $45/mo. The built-in camera takes surprisingly good photos. The only issue I've had is regarding space. I ran out for new apps downloads, but recently purchased extra memory (SD card) which helped a lot. Very satisfied with this phone and actually purchased a second one for a family member. I like it that much!

    This phone has a big screen that makes it easy to use, the only thing that I do not like is the screen lock\power and vol buttons are on the back instead of the side. Otherwise it's a great phone for the price

    I bought this phone a couple months ago and I'm very pleased with it. It's easy to use and has a fairly large screen. The camera takes great pictures! The removable SD card is nice for saving pictures and the phone has plenty of storage space for music.
