What the Critics Are Saying...

Cnet
Cnet

The compact LG Lancet has a comfortable design, a competitively low price, and a capable 8-megapixel camera.

For Windows Phone fans, there are few options on Verizon Wireless. In fact, there are only three available, hitting three separate price tiers. The Lancet is the budget-friendly option in the trio, offering reasonable performance for the price. It's a good value for less-demanding users.

The Lancet proves that sometimes small stands tall.
