The LG Lotus Elite does not necessarily live up to its predecessors in all shapes and forms; however, if you are a messaging addict then this phone is probably ideal for you. The LG Lotus Elite boasts Sprint’s one click interface that allows the end user to get to the tools that are needed quickly and easily. It also boasts a brand-new touch screen that allows easy access to photos, messages, and other important features of any mobile phone – best of all, the phone doesn’t even have to be opened in order to do this.
The Elite is a relatively slim and smooth flip phone, which means that it is not too large, but it isn’t too small either and fits perfect in your pocket. At first look, apart from its slick look, it looks a bit peculiar due to its square like shape in addition to it being wide than most available phones on the market. When speaking on the LG Lotus Elite, it is a bit uncomfortable because of its wideness, but it is something that you could get used to.
The messaging board on this Lotus Elite is similar, but not necessarily better, than previous Lotus’s; however, it is unique. The Elite possesses a wide QWERTY keyboard that is easy to use. On the outside of this flip phone, when it is shut, there is a touch screen for ease of access to your videos, photos, and messages without even having to flip open your cell phone. The screen measures 2.4 inches with the same being true of the inside screen.
Upon purchase of the LG Lotus Elite, you’ll receive a stylish hand strap, a 1GB microSD card, AC adapter, and the user manual and getting started guides. This phone boasts 2.4-inch screens as previously mentioned while weighting in at about 4.76 oz, which means it is relatively lightweight. The entire phone measures approximately 3.42 inches x 2.44 inches x .72 inches, which is the height, width, and thickness respectively. Although it’s not apparent, compared to its predecessor of the Lotus that the Elite is a tad bit heavier as well as wider.
The Elite also features a 2.5mm headphone jack on the left side of the phone in addition to the up and down volume buttons, microUSB ports that allow for charging and data transmission. On the right side of the Elite, you’ll find the unlock and lock button for the screen, button for the camera, as well as the slot for the microSD card.
The LG Lotus Elite boasts only a 2-megapixel camera that is capable of taking pictures as well as videos. The battery life of this Elite is significantly higher than others. It can last several days if it is used little to none or a couple days if you use it on a regular or heavier basis. As for the call quality when speaking on the phone, it is relatively good – for both ends, the caller and the listener.
The phone features Bluetooth connectivity on the Sprint 3G network. Social networking sites are easily accessible and work well as well as the YouTube client. Watching YouTube videos on the LG Lotus Elite was simple, easy to manage, and the quality was exceptionally above standard.
As previously stated, if you are an avid messenger with your cell phone, then this would be a good phone for you. However, if you aren’t into text messaging, video messaging, and the like then you won’t find this phone of much use, as the phone simply wasn’t meant for that specific market. For this sleekly designed messaging phone, you can expect to find it at your local Sprint store or online for $299.99 without a two-year contract.
