This is the BEST cell phone I ever had!

I love every feature on this new LG cell phone. It is easy to navigate, the camera takes great photos, the volume is nice and clear and never fuzzes out. I like the large numbers on the dial pad and the battery last a very long time before charging again too. It even works in an elevator :) Just an AWESOME phone all the way round!
Thank you LG.

I've owned my G Vista for over a month now, and I got to say that I'm impressed. The battery life is awesome that can last through out the whole day. I love the size and easy to handle. Phone is easy and fun to use. The only problem that theirs a little lag, but that's rare.

Not enough memory
on September 7, 2016
Posted by: mjjo
from New Caney, TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my LG VS880 since March 2015. It simply does not have enough memory. I added a memory card for pictures and videos but the Apps that came on the phone are taking most of the memory. I don't use all of them but I don't know what will happen if I remove them. I don't want to screw up the entire phone by disabling an app that is required to run the system. UGH! I can't wait until March 2017 for an upgrade.
Pros: Style/Design
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Phenomenal Phone
on September 18, 2014
Posted by: Coachk1177

This Vista even with it's 5.7" screen is very easy to handle and surprisingly light to hold. One of the main features that I'm impressed with is the battery. A 3200mAh battery is more than enough to get me through the day, which I'm a heavy user.
The camera takes solid photo's surprisingly with the 8Mp camera, the only thing that I'd recommend is changing the camera settings. 8Mp is not default as well recording video in full HD 1080p.
Overall this is a great phone, light weight and solid android device!
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, Features/Settings, Quality

First time smartphone
on May 20, 2015
Posted by: jcj1v
The YS880 is my first "smartphone" or more correctly little computer masquerading as a phone. I find it an addictive toy which is probably more related to its capabilities than the plastic and copper.
So far as I can tell this is capable of any of the tricks that other smart phones do.
It was easy to learn what I was supposed to do even given my unfamiliarity with both android and the phone itself, but I am an inveterate reader of manuals and the online manual, if not a page scroller, is fairly clear. What you might not get on first or second reading you can figure out by fiddling with the phone till it does what you want, or you give up. The phone also has some useful help screens including videos.
One thing to keep in mind. The term I believe they use for this sort of phone is a phablet. It is pretty large and takes some getting used to. For those of us used to a pocket phone this requires somewhat larger pockets. It seems fragile. But this goes with the dimensions long and wide but not too thick. So far I haven't been able to destroy it, but I'll keep trying
Things I see in other reviews:
The battery seems to last quite a while, logically this depends on what you are doing. I would expect that it would be wise to charge the thing if you want to watch movies or play games.
The screen is fine. There are two options, dumb for those familiar with smartphones and dumber for those who are not. Dumb is just fine even for a newbie.
So far no problems reading the screen in bright sunlight.
Sound is fine.
Speed is quick, but I started with a computer that ran at 32khz so anything since then is fast. Mah Jong is the only game I use as mind pabulum so response time is not a problem.
So far I am happy with it.

Like the on-off button location, otber phones i hold by sides am always hitting buttons by error. Like screen & keyboard size, but makes it less of a pocket phone.
Pros: Performance, easy to use
