The LG Revolution is a next-gen Android-powered smartphone built to perform at the new, 4G benchmarks. It features a very large, 4.3-inch touchscreen, producing 480 x 800 pixel resolution. Add in tethering and HDMI and this phone is definitely built to perform.
The Revolution offers a 5MP camera with LED flash, a secondary 1.3MP camera for video calling, MP3 player, native support for YouTube and a full HTML browser.
Also under the hood you'll find built-in support for Facebook, Picasa, and Twitter, GPS/navigation, Bluetooth 2.1 and WiFi.
Rounding out the LG Revolution feature set is the always appreciated 3.5mm headset jack and expandable memory up to 32GB via microSD/microSDHC.

Overall I found the design to be solid, but lacking re...
- Mark Spoonauer, Laptop Magerizon now offers three very strong 4G smartphone choices, and in some ways the LG Revolution is better than both the HTC Thunderbolt and the Samsung Droid Charge. It has a brighter display than both of those handsets, and it's the only one of the bunch with Netflix on board, which for some will be...
- Zach Epstein, BGREvery time we mention Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE network here on BGR, we write about how ridiculously fast it is compared to the competition. At this point in time, it really has no rival. Those looking for a new smartphone who value blazing fast data speeds above all else really have three choi...
