    Wow I was at cricket wireless at the time of you publishing this video, I am looking into getting the Stylo 5 because of the display is amazing. I'm pretty sure when I was going over the cricket wireless version i am sure it has NFC but I'll have to get back to you on that after I find out. Oh and by the way I'm a new subscriber to the channel, big thumbs up from me.

    Yeah last years Stylo 4 with Cricket did not have NFC. But the Stylo 4 with Cricket did have 3 GB of RAM. With the Metro version going up to 3 GB of RAM (it only had 2 GB in the Stylo 4) it seems like all the Stylos are going to have the same specs this year. That's just speculation though. Let me know what you find out!

    @@AndroidDigest okay I sure will. A few things that LG did with their Stylo phones was add flagship phone features such as a full front display and a stylus which only the flagship note series has. They should have made the phone to have wireless charging and still keep the low cost price. One last feature that they have is a finger print scanner which not many low end phones have as of right now.

It's just under $300 phones like the Moto G7 in speed, but it has a better display, fast charging, and a stylus, not to mention a large screen (normally bigger screens cost more). It's definitely a good buy at $230. I always try to be careful though. Some people have a $900 phone and you say the Stylo is fast and they wonder why it's not as fast as their $900 phone

    A little bigger display goes a long ways on a smart phone. A 6.2" has over 150% the area of a 5" screen. The stylo is kind of cool, but the display size is the real selling point. I just hope its more durable than the 6" ZTE Max XL I upgraded from.

    I bought this phone 3 weeks ago from Sprint and this phone rocks. The only complaint is the 32gigs. If this phone came with 64 or 128 gigs then it would be the best phone on the market today. Their is no intellegent reason to buy a 700 to 1100 dollar cell phone with a monthly payment of 20 to 35 dollars because very few people really need that type of cell phone. Cell phones are a want and a status symbol for so many people. Buy this phone because it really is worth the money. It is a little slow with a sub standard camera but its still a great phone.

    I had the Stylo 4 when I was on Metro PCS and even the 4 is still a decent budget phone but I had switched to Sprint bc I just got tired of Metro. Now I have the Stylo 5 on Sprint and there doesn't seem to be much of a difference. The 5 does seem a little more faster and more responsive then the 4. When it comes to buying a budget priced phone I would recommend the Stylo 4 or the 5. The one negative is when I had the 4 (that was on Metro PCS it had NFC my Stylo 5 (on Sprint) doesn't have NFC but not that its a big let down but NFC is useful sometimes.

Idk some people complain too much. If they want a flagship then they need to buy one and stop comparing these budget phones to the biggest and best phones out there.

Battery life is kind of disappointing but I like a bright screen . I like the Stylus pen a lot more than the 4 plus I had . The pen on my 4 Plus was thinner and broke easier . Display is great . Looks good. Not had much experience with camera. Boost has 4 phones free for new or switching customers . I've been with Boost a couple years and got the phone as an upgrade on the" Boost UP" plan . I do agree it wasnt worth the upgrade from the 4 Plus I had . I recommend looking at the Samsung A 20 .

    These are pretty good thoughts. Honestly it's a similar speaker to the Stylo 4, similar camera, both of which weren't too good. Not much upgrades from the Stylo 4, the Boost version saw a processor upgrade, and the Boost version has 1 more GB of RAM than last year. But most Stylo 4 users are best off keeping their phone, unless they really just want new software. I personally like Android 9, I would upgrade for Android 9, but most people probably won't notice a difference or care too much.

  • @AndroidDigest

    4 жыл бұрын

    Screen mirroring depends on the tv and equipment you have. Some tvs don't support screen mirroring, even smart tvs. If your tv does have the option to mirror your device, it can be as easy as opening an app, like KZread, being connected to the same wifi as your tv, and pressing the cast button in the top right hand corner of your screen (looks like a full 4 bars being broadcasted in a square). You may have to download an app for your smart tv and use that app to mirror depending on the tv. If you don't have that option or your tv doesn't support mirroring, another option is to buy a Chromecast. It costs less than $35. You download the Google home app on your smartphone, plug the Chromecast into the hdmi port on your tv and plug a usb cord into it and you are almost good to go. From there you just download the Google Home app and follow instructions the best you can. You can look up your tv model and see if there is an app for your tv which is a good idea. And see if, when you are on wifi, and your tv is turned on, see if you have the casting symbol in the top right hand corner

    Hi I'm having this same issue, did you find a solution for moving apps on the Stylo 5? I don't know why LG is doing so many shortcuts. I got my LG Stylo 5 2 weeks ago about and it came with 15 gigs used by the system!!!!! I mean 15 gigs GONE POOF I think that's ridiculous. I like the Stylo 5 but there should be a way to move apps

    @@vanessamyers5219 I have the A20 and the stylo 5. I switched to the galaxy A20 for that very issue. I guess it's a Google issue not an LG issue which I still think it's an LG issue because if it was a Google issue you wouldn't be able to move apps and games and pictures etc on any android phone. So with that, I'd recommend going with the galaxy a20. Trust me....its an awesome phone. Big and beautiful crisp screen, very fast, you CAN MOVE APPS TO YOUR SD card! Lol the cameras are good plus you get a wide angle camera on the rear you wouldn't be disappointed at all. It's only of the best budget phones for under $200 on boost I'm not sure how much it is on other carriers. To me that's a good price. :)

    I normally answer questions the same day :). Sorry I somehow missed this one. It comes with 32 GB of storage. You can expand your space with a micro SD card, so most people should be just fine with 32 GB. If you're a heavy user you can buy a micro SD card for like $10 or so on Amazon, and move your photos, videos, and music to that. As far as RAM, it has 3 GB of RAM. All models should have 3 GB of RAM.

    @@kareemdavis1500 Actually, the LG Stylo 5 has 32 GB of storage as well for Boost Mobile. However, like most phones with 32 GB of storage, nearly half of that is taken by the operating system, so your left with around 16 GB left. So you have about 16 GB left for apps. Most people I know, as long as they don't install games, only install about 4-8 GB of apps. If you install games you might be around 14-16. So it might be a little tight if you're a gamer.

    @@kareemdavis1500 yeah newer phones don't let you move apps to the SD card. And you are right, there are a few extra GB missing, that normally aren't taken up. So it's a bummer that you only get left with 16 GB of space in the end. Maybe you can uninstall some of the Boost bloatware or other apps/games the phone comes with, hopefully that could free some space.

    Sorry you had a bad time with it... It's all about expectations. If you have an iPhone XS max it will be 500x faster, with a way way better video camera and way better camera. And for you, even $50 it won't be worth it to you because you've had phones that are so much better. Personally, I've been using expensive phones like you. And I can't imagine going back to the LG Stylo 5. So I completely feel your comment. But I'll say this: there are a lot worse phones. A lot of companies sell phones for $100 that are way slower with an even worse cameras. And for those people this phone may be a huge upgrade I'd always recommend trying to spend around $300 if you can for a phone to get one you will be happy with... But for people who never have been able to, this won't be too bad. For some people. But I do hope you get a good phone again. I know it's frustrating to go to a really slow phone and a bad camera
