The LG X power3 is a decent update of the LG X power, although it has failed to keep up with developments in terms of battery runtimes. At least LG has chosen a decent starting price for this version. If you are interested in a smartphone that will keep going for as long as possible but doesn't have to look particularly modern, the LG X power3 might be the right phone for you.

Not at all happy with this phone.

Not happy with this phone. Only 16 g. Old LG phone had 32 so tons of issues pairing and had to buy and sd card.  Even our provider support unable to figure it out. Most apps not paired nor Contact info.  A REAL pain.  Fitbit won't sync either. Bluetooth can't find it. Camera ducks. The slightest movement makes picsn blurry. Nobody has cases or screen protectors for it. Went to Bell store and Best Bu...

Do not but this phone

I have had this phone for only seven months and it is a piece of crap. I can<t talk to anyone more than 10 mins and it hangs up. I have taken it back three times to the freedom store. they have replaced the sim card. done diagnostics on it twice. they said because I live near the border it is switching to another network. so they switched it to just the Freedom network. however it still does the same thing. Unfortunately I can't afford to pay the phone outright. so Im stuck with this piece of junk for the next `7 months.

This phone is a piece of crap. do not buy. I have had this phone for only 7 months. when Im talking to anyone for 10 mins it hangs up. I have had it back to the Freedom store three time, they have replaced the sim card and done diagnostics on it twice, however the problem still exists. They tell me because I live close to the border the system is flipping my network to another provide and that's the reason it hangs up. They have put it one the Freedom network only, but it still switches for some reason. Unforunately I have 17 months left on my tab contract and I can't afford to pay it out, so Im stuck with this junk of a cell phone. DONT BUY THIS PHONE.
