Worst phone ever

[viperdink]

I still got my motion pocket rocket . It still works as a mini tablet that everyone here uses .
But the lg spirit blew it away with all the development we did. That was the one i really missed.

Spending 50 on a phone in 2012 that got like 23k to 25k benchmark With Antutu is amazing. I played around With a newer phone released in Dec (2015) from metro that cost like 70 andit only got a 20k benchmark.

Pretty sad when a cheaper phone from 4years ago out does a current offering that costs more.

Youd think it would be the opposite as hardware gets cheaper over time. They must've not made much of anything with the motion.

I ran mine until metro said they wouldn't support the cdma network anymore.

Just for kicks, I ran a AnTuTu benchmark the other day on my Stylo. My score was nearly 28K. Benchmarks don't really say much, though. It's real world performance that matters the most.

EDIT: Just ran another benchmark.

I can see your point but all things considered it's b.s.

The motion for example got about 20k stock and 23k with the custom kernel.

And you got all that for 50 in 2012.

Fast forward to today and an extra hundred plus dollars more (i think it was actually around 170ish when i got mine new from metro pcs)

And it can only muster 28k-ish.

Add in the fact that technology has increased rapidly but flagships have kind of bottle necked in terms of advancements for the most part which in turn should provide for better priced midrange phones that have better components (ie by using a flagship processor from a year or 2 ago which costs much less to obtain now)

I just think that price jump should at least ensure it was a better built device.

Ive never had to return a device hardly ever (one time at the beginning of the smartphone era when i still had a dumb phone) but this time ive had three with severe issues right out of the box.

1. Automatically would freeze up/not always respond to touch

2. Dead gps

3. Screen flicked at high brightness.

Ive had this thing since 12.24.16 and have had ridiculous build quality issues. Ive never dropped this. Its always been in a case. Treated better than done devices. But still shotty work on lg's part.

That's really what sours my opinion of the device.

When im using a model that works as it was intended to its very nice for the price.

It plays all the high quality games ive tried on it so far. I can't remember them all but the three i currently have installed/that work nicely are:
Unkilled
Modern combat 5
Gta Chinatown

No performance issues in terms of processing power or graphics performance. No denying that.

For 150ish it was king until maybe the honor5x for the added fingerprint sensor if nothing else. Im tired of all the other unlock methods. A fingerprint sensor would make it more secure and easier than all other methods. Even swipe is more work lol



Im definitely going to keep the one good functioning one i have as a portable pocket tablet.
