A Very Good Phone At A Bargain Basement Price.

I've owned a number of phones and I think the metroPCS/T-Mobile version of the LG G Stylo is an unbelievable value. For under $150 you can buy a phone that has features not found on many flagship phones, features such as expandable memory via a microSD card, a removable battery, and NFC. It is 4G LTE enabled, has a 5.7” HD IPS display, a 13MP Laser Autofocus camera with LED flash and a 5MP front facing camera. It uses a 1.2 GHz Quad-core processor and has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, and it supports calling over wi-fi. The phone has a built-in stylus, like the Samsung Note phones. It doesn’t include Samsung’s stylus software, but the stylus is perfect for making quick notes. I like the phone’s user interface and the ways in which it can be customized.

I'm probably being foolish but I'm moving on to an expensive flagship phone. I was enticed to pre-order an HTC 10 by the offer of $100 off and no interest financing . I love the HTC 10 but it's in a whole different class and much more expensive than the LG G Stylo. The metroPCS/T-Mobile version of the LG G Stylo is a very good phone at a bargain basement price.

The stlyo is a great device and I wouldn't blame you for uprading to the sexy HTC 10 but if I was you I would wait for the new Nexus devices from HTC this year

The new Nexus devices will probably be an improvement but, at my age, if I waited for the next great thing it could be too late. I'm happy with the HTC 10.
 
I own a Nexus 6P, & purchase LG Stylo for the wifey i must say its not bad at all. i love the volume rocker & power button on the back. on my Nexus i'm constantly hitting the power button trying to watch YouTube. but overall wife loves it & i like it as well. not bad @ all.
 
I got the boost version battery in my metrophone and i don"t have a complaint at all. It gets charged every other night and is very good like that.

I disagree with your post. The lg g stylo does not have all these features most flagships dont. Its not a bad device at all but its definitely midrange. I cant think of a single flagship device it can beat.
 
It's a reasonable phone, its specs are similar to many Chinese mid-range devices, i.e. quad-core CPU, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, 5.7in screen but only 720x1280, etc. It does have NFC though, which many phones in this class don't have.
