LG Venice
LG Venice
The good: The LG Venice has a svelte design, a 1GHz CPU that runs swiftly and smoothly, and excellent call quality.
The bad: The Venice’s audio speaker is harsh and tinny, its camera’s auto white balance is inaccurate, and it only runs on 3G.
The bottom line: Boost’s LG Venice has respectable midrange specs including a snappy processor and a vivid screen, but if you want 4G data speeds, look elsewhere.
Design
In comparison with the LG Splendor and the Optimus L7, I like the LG Venice’s slightly altered look the best simply due to its bright silver back plate, which sets it apart. Other than that, however, its design is nothing to write home about. With its sharp corners, plastic backing, and tapered edges, the device looks similar to all the other minimalist Optimus handsets that came out last summer. It measures 4.92 inches tall, 2.64 inches wide, and 0.34 inch thick, and its slim body weighs 4.41 ounces. It’s one of LG’s smaller phones, and can snugly fit in a front or back jean pocket. It’s easy to pack into a small purse and handling it with one hand is a cinch.
On the Venice’s left side is a volume rocker, up top are a 3.5mm headphone jack and a sleep/power button, and at the bottom is a Micro-USB port.
Features and OS
The Venice runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and comes with Google goodies like Chrome, Gmail, Search, Plus, Latitude, Local, Play Books, Movies, Music, and Store, Messenger, Maps with Navigation, Talk, and YouTube.
Other preloaded apps include a news and weather app; the mobile office suite Polaris Office; SmartShare, a content distribution and file sharing app; and two Boost Mobile apps. One is Boost Zone, a help portal that also lets you check your phone balance and fees.
