Sprint LG Mach hands-on
The LG Mach takes flight
LG Mach an LTE slider – First Look
LG Mach: QWERTY keypad, Dual-core processor, 4-inch screen, 1 GB RAM and 8 GB internal
The good: The LG Mach has a generously sized keyboard and runs on 4G LTE, and its decent camera includes plenty of features.
The bad: The Mach is heavy to hold, and has a poor audio speaker and mediocre call quality.
The bottom line: Sprint’s LG Mach is a reliable 4G LTE slider phone with midrange specs that’ll satisfy basic needs at a competitive price.
LG hasn’t had much luck with impressive keyboard phones. The LG Optimus Slider runs on Android Gingerbread and has a poor camera, and the LG Rumor Reflex is too basic for my taste. But when Sprint introduced the LG Mach at MobileCon about a month ago, it had a lot of potential.
For one thing, it natively ships with the new(ish) Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS, and it has a swift dual-core processor. Its additional specs and features also make it competitive with other higher midrange devices.
The handset is available from Sprint and is priced at the $100 sweet spot after a two-year contract and mail-in rebate. For anyone on this carrier looking for a midlevel keyboard phone, the LG Mach is definitely worth considering.
Design
The LG Mach’s design is nothing new, and it has a similar look to the Optimus Elite or the Escape with its rounded corners, lack of a physical home button, and chrome-colored border. It measures 4.65 inches tall and 2.56 inches wide. Its profile is 0.48 inch, making it relatively thin as far as sliders go. However, at 5.92 ounces, it feels pretty dense and heavy in the hand.
On the phone’s left are a Micro-USB port and a volume rocker. Up top are a sleep/power button and a 3.5mm headphone jack. On the left is a shortcut key to access the camera.
Software and OS
The phone runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and comes with a number of Google’s services, like Gmail, Car Home, Plus, Latitude, Local, Maps with Navigation, Messenger, Search, Shopper, Talk, and YouTube. The Google Play stores for Books, Movies, and Music are included as well.
Camera and video
The 5-megapixel camera offers a variety of options. It has auto and touch focus; a flash; a 15x digital zoom, face tracking; geotagging; a timer; continuous, panoramic, and HDR shooting; and Time Catch, which lets you choose and save the best shot before the shutter was pressed. It also has a brightness meter ranging from -2 to +2, five image sizes (ranging from 1,280×768 pixels to 2,560×1,920 pixels), seven scene modes including smart shutter, five ISO options, five white balances, four color effects, and four shutter sounds.
