LG Realm (Black )
Details
| Operating System : Android 4.4 Kitkat | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Display
The Realm has a 4.5 inch screen, which is typical for
a smartphone.
Battery Life
In terms of battery capacity, which is the best
indicator of overall battery life, it holds 2,100 mAh,
an above average battery capacity for a phone.
Dimensions and Design
The phone's body is 127.00 mm high, 66.00 mm wide, and has a depth of 10.16 mm, 2.6% thicker than an average smartphone in the 4.1 - 4.5 inch screen range.
With a weight of 127 grams, it is one of the lighter phones for the size of its screen.
Processor and Memory
The Realm houses a dual core system on a chip. Its CPU runs at 1.2 GHz, which is about typical for clock speed. 1,024 MB of RAM means that it has average RAM for a smartphone.
Camera
The Realm has a 5 megapixel rear (primary) camera, which won't capture very good photos. Its 0.3 megapixel front camera makes it an average choice for selfies.
Storage
The base model of the Realm has 4 GB of internal storage, which is subpar for storing music and video. Fortunately, you can cheaply expand its storage by as much as 32 GB with a microSD card. Connectivity
General Features
The LG Realm is a very good phone, limited by the painfully slow Boost
Mobile 3G network. Boost sells much faster 4G LTE phones for a similar
price. The LG Volt has TEN TIMES faster data download speeds if you
live in one of the 30 cities with a Boost 4G LTE network.NOTE: as a
Sprint/Boost CDMA phone, it is impossible to ever use the Realm outside
of the USA.The LG Realm has a big and bright 4.5 inch screen and and has
good call quality in areas with a strong Boost signal.
The LG Realm is a Snapdragon 200 powered device with 1GB of RAM and
4GB of internal storage. There is a microSD slot to offset the minimal
storage and a removable 2,100mAh battery to keep the 4.5-inch display
lit. That display measures in at just 460×800 resolution for 240dpi,
which is a reasonable task for the Adreno 305 at 400mHz to keep running
smoothly. Helping the display feel a little larger are physical
navigation buttons.
Software and handling
The Realm comes with LG’s skin on top of Android 4.4.2 KitKat. A handful of LG apps and functions are also included, such as Knock Code with KnockOn, Guest Mode,
Q Slide and more. In general, the software package is good, there is
minimal bloat and little need for additional productivity apps.
If you are accustomed to the on-screen navigation buttons, this
device may not be for you. The Back button and menu/recents button are
capacitive, registering to a gentle touch, but that old school
clicky-clicky Home button requires a fair bit of force to activate,
enough to knock the phone out of many stands and holders. Speaking of
the menu/recents button, you single tap to access the menu, this goes
for nearly any app menu as well, then you must tap and hold to activate
the recents list. If you are like me, this is going to drive you nuts,
but the persistent menu button is kind of nice.
The back of the LG Realm offers up a single LED flash just to the
left of the 5MP shooter and a small slot for the speaker. A removable
battery is a nice touch, but there is no access to the SIM card.
“Premium” is not a word you would use to describe this device, but it
is not junk either. Overall, the LG Realm is a solid unit, the back
cover fits snug, there is no rattling or squeaks to speak of, nor are
there any gaps to worry about.
One word of warning, the LG Realm is slippery. No word of a lie,
within 15 minutes of taking this thing out of the box it slid out of my
hand and hit the floor, sending the back cover and battery sliding
underneath the couch. I think I have dropped it in one shape or form
every day since then. Except today… so far. It is surviving the falls
very well, just a few scratches, but I would suggest buying a case.
Camera
The camera on the LG Realm offers a decent overall experience, for
a 5MP cellphone sensor. The LED flash makes a huge difference to photos,
adding a well balanced white light.
The LG Realm camera offers quick and excellent focus, no lasers
included. The highlight of the Realm camera is its ability to come to
focus on extremely close up objects, I wouldn’t want to use the word
‘macro’ here, but still pretty darn good. Truth told, most of the photos
of the Desire 510 in this article were shot with the LG Realm. On the
flip side, its greatest con is its slow capture speeds. Expect as much
as a half second between tap and snap.
Audio
The LG Realm offers nice loud volume, and crisp clear voices, but any
music aficionados out there will want to steer clear of playing music
through the external speaker. Sound is fairly tinny. The good part is
that audio output through the headphone jack does not suffer, making the
LG Realm a good choice as an MP3 player.

Final thoughts on the LG RealmThe LG Realm is a fairly solid device that is extremely slippery, but otherwise handles well in the hand. It may not be very comfortable to hold for long periods of time, but it gets the job done. You will find that the small side display bezels make unintended palm presses a common thing. LG’s software experience is non-intrusive and easy to manage and understand.Price : $ 40 |
