LG Intuition (Verizon Wireless)

Verizon's first phablet-sized phone, the Intuition goes up against the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note II.

The 5-inch display is great for reading, Web browsing, and taking notes, and the oversize screen is a pleasure to use.

The LG Intuition measures 5.5 by 3.56 by 0.33 inches (HWD). That's more than an inch taller and wider than most smartphones, though quite thin by any standard.

The 8-megapixel rear-facing camera includes an LED flash, and autofocus, and supports geotagging.

The Intuition is made entirely of plastic save for the glass front panel, with a soft touch textured coating on the back and smooth, rounded left and right edges.

There's a roomy 32GB of internal flash storage on board, with just under 25GB free for all of your stuff. There's no microSD card slot, but as long as you don't mind hooking the phone up to your PC to transfer media files, it's fine.

Here's the LG Intuition shown next to an original Samsung Galaxy Note.

Here's how a Samsung Galaxy S III looks next to the LG Intuition. Keep in mind the Galaxy S III is already a big phone with a 4.8-inch display.
