I bought the Verizon prepaid LG K8V 4G LTE on 4-10-2017 and normally I wait a while, like a week or two before doing a review just to make sure I really like it. Well I didn't need to with this device. Its stock android Marshmallow 6.0.1 so theres NO bloatware whatsoever. The phone is pretty awesome. The specs of the K8V reminded me of the LG Phoenix 2 from the Go phone section. the battery on that phone sucked. The battery is still a 2,125 mAh batter on the K8V phone but its much better. Seems much more optimized. The battery lasts longer I feel. Also I also bought this phone because of the LED notification light on it which I LOVE so I don't have to hit the power button or do a double tab to turn the screen on to see if I had any calls. Awesome feature. Call quality is VERY good. People said they heard me very clear without any issues. And people sounded very good to excellent in the ear piece. The 8MP rear cam takes very good pictures. Excellent quality. The 5MP front facing cam takes ok pictures. Nothing special. Phone also does 720P HD video recording. I did some testing to see what kind of audio the phone could handle and I was pleasantly surprised. I was blaring my PC speakers to metal and the phone handle the audio pretty well. Not amazing but still pretty good. Very little distortion. Auto focus is also very good and fast. It has 16GB of memory and you get 9.30GB out of the box. But when you turn on WiFi which is only limited to 2.4GHZ unfortunately set up your Gmail account and go into the Play Store go into Settings and go to Auto-update apps at the top and click on Do Not auto update apps. This option because you may not need every app on the phone. So why use up space if you don't need the app. This way youll only have around 7-8GB's left depending on how many apps you download. Also phones 1.5GB of ram is plenty for this phone and the 1.3GHZ Snapdragon 210 processor works great. No stuttering. No random shut offs. No lagging. OH and the K8V DOES have Advanced Calling Features when you click on the phones Settings. HD voice and calling IS supportive. But there's two options: HD Video Calling and Voice or just HD Voice. But HD Video WILL take up data as the description says. These options however will ONLY work if the other person is also on Verizon and their phone also supports HD Voice. if not it wont work. The speaker on the back gets pretty loud. Little to no distortion even at high volumes. Also phone gets VERY bright. Which is a plus and build quality is excellent has some weight to it. Anyways if you want a full review of these features and more I made my own review of this phone and posted it on YouTube online. Just type in Verizon Wireless LG k8V 4G LTE into the YouTube Search box. Its the ONLY review worth watching. There's other so-called "reviews" but theyre horribly made. Look for GTX970. Its the only video I made on that channel. You're welcome lol. Hope this review helps.
I would recommend this to a friend
