LG Optimus F6 (T-Mobile)

The LG Optimus F6 is a value-priced Android smartphone that cuts corners on storage and camera capabilities to hit its price mark. Better T-Mobile values can be found.

Front

At 5.03 by 2.59 by .4 inches (HWD), the 4.44-oz. Optimus F6 is not as wide as many new smartphones.

Angled

The F6's 4.5-inch, 960-by-540-pixel display can feel more crowded than that size would suggest, however. Credit a joint effort by LG and T-Mobile to clutter the notification menu.

Rear

The most obviously cut corner here after the inadequate storage would be the mediocre 5-megapixel back camera.

Volume Buttons

Voice quality is a mixed bag. Incoming calls sounded fine, but my own voice sounded just a bit muddy.

Headphone Jack

The Optimus F6 lasted for 15 hours and 3 minutes of talk time on a single charge. That's not as good as T-Mobile's estimate of 19.5 hours but still far better than average.
