LG Stylus 2 review

 

The poor man's Galaxy Note

Android Marshmallow ; Expandable storage

Stylus a little pointless ; May have limited release ; Under powered

So-so specs and questionable stylus don't do enough to grasp the imagination, and unless you must have a pen for your phone and you're on a restricted budget there are better options out there.

LG Stylus 2

 

It's been a curious year for LG's smartphone department. The likes of the LG G5 and LG X Screen hint at a manufacturer that's obsessed with finding an angle – anything different to make its offerings stand out from the crowd.

LG Stylus 2 Review: In Depth

 

LG Stylus 2 Review: LG's cut-priced rival to Samsung's Galaxy Note range is a mighty 5.7-inch mobile packing a built-in stylus pen.

Decent battery life ; Respectable cameras

Stilted performance ; Basic stylus ; Low-res screen

LG Stylus 2 Smartphone Review

 

Is the stylus the star? LG's Stylus 2 already points to the pen in the name. However, the phablet offers a feature that steals the show from the stylus. Find out what this is in our report.

stylus ; DAB+ reception ; very lightweight casing ; extensive and up-to-date software ; good signal quality during communication ; nice daylight photos ; low temperatures ; long battery life ; removable battery

pressure sensitive casing ; no App2SD, no USB OTG ; moderate DAB+ reception ; stylus without pressure levels ; unstable GPS reception ; only acceptable call quality ; low resolution panel ; low brightness and color accuracy ; comparatively low performance

LG's Stylus 2 stands out from other mid-range devices with some innovative features. First to mention is the stylus that is actually only known from considerably higher priced devices. It allows making handwritten notes on the screen or cut objects out...

LG takes a second shot at courting the pen fans

 

Chalk up a win for LG when it comes to weird product names. If you've never heard of the LG Stylus 1 don't panic: The LG Stylus 2 is actually the "enhanced sequel" to the LG G Stylo, which was also known as the LG G4 Stylus outside of the US and Korea,...
