I have the same problem with the Note 9, however, so maybe it’s my finger’s fault. It’s fast and responsive, but it’s a bit on the small side and placed a little high for my tastes. Nothing about the display feels cheap or substandard.īecause the front of the Stylo 4 is mostly screen, the fingerprint sensor is on the rear. You don’t get the display color options that you do on LG’s premium phones such as the G7, but there’s no denying that LG makes some of the best LCDs this side of the iPhone XR. It’s as big as the Galaxy S9+, and while it’s not OLED and has only a 390ppi density, the display is vivid and plenty visible in direct sunlight with the brightness slider pinned to the right.
LG G SYLO REVIEW FULL
The Stylo has a lower Full HD resolution screen compared to the Note 9’s WQHD display, but that’s still impressive for a budget phone.
The Stylo 4 doesn’t have the Note 9’s curves. At 160 x 77.7 x 8.1 mm, it’s a touch smaller than the Note 9’s 161.9 x 76.4 x 8.8 mm frame, and the Stylo’s 6.2-inch screen is smaller than the Note 9’s 6.4-inch display as well. The curved screen and plastic back rests more comfortably in my hand and pocket than the Note 9, and I wasn’t nearly as concerned about dropping it without a case. breakable glassĪs you’d expect, the Stylo 4 is made of plastic as opposed to the Note 9’s all-glass design, and while it definitely feels less substantial than Samsung’s thousand-dollar flagship, it has a nice build that feels far from cheap. Benchmarks weren’t so kind, showing around 7 hours, but this a case where real-world use is vastly superior. Rarely did I have to plug in the Stylo 4 before the end of a day, and even then, I generally had more than 10 percent remaining. With a 3,300mAh capacity, I expected it to be so-so, especially coming from the Note 9’s impressive 4,000mAh battery, but I was pleasantly surprised. I was most impressed with the Stylo 4’s battery life. The Stylo 4 might be slow, but it’s by no means unusable. Besides, most people buying a Stylo 4 will be coming from a similar class of phone, and the Stylo’s Snapdragon 450 is certainly faster than the Snapdragon 429 or 210 they’re likely switching from. I missed the speed of the Note 9 for sure, but it didn’t feel like a $750 difference. I’ve been using Snapdragon 845 phones for the better part of 2018, so I figured the Stylo 4 would be slow to the point of unusable.
LG G SYLO REVIEW ANDROID
I can’t help but wonder how much faster the Stylo 4 would feel if it ran Android One like the G7 One. That said, I have a new appreciation for the Note 9’s Adreno 630 GPU, which makes things buttery smooth despite the Samsung Experience UI.Įveryday speed performance is also noticeable slower than it is on the Note 9, but again, I adjusted my expectations after just a few days.
The slowness is compounded by LG’s UX skin, which adds unnecessary clutter and interface oddities throughout. But overall, the graphics were more of a nuisance than a hindrance. Auto-rotate was most affected by the Stylo 4’s low-end specs-so much so that I turned on orientation lock.
