LG Nitro HD Review (Video)

Name:  LG Nitro HD

Price: $199 with two year AT&T contract

Gallery

Pros:

  • Beautiful 720p Screen
  • Great performance
  • Blazing fast AT&T LTE data speeds

Cons:

  • Flimsy USB flap
  • LTE is power hungry
  • Poor camera quality

Intro:

AT&T is aggressively expanding the coverage of its LTE network, and also expanding the lineup of phones that take advantage of that network.  The LG Nitro HD is the third LTE Android phone released for AT&T thus far and while it shares many features with the previous two phones it is also able to differentiate itself from the pack.  The focal point of the LG Nitro HD is the amazing 4.5 inch 720p screen, which is the first 720p screen on any AT&T phone.  Looking down the spec sheet of the Nitro it can go toe-to-toe with any other phone on the market, and we wanted to know if it was able to live up to expectations.

Video: LG Nitro HD unboxing

I have the pleasure of reviewing an LG Nitro HD, but before I have to get it out of the dang box.  Here is a quick video of the unboxing, and first impressions.  The LG Nitro HD is the third LTE phone on AT&T's ever-growing LTE network.  The timing is nearly perfect seeing as the San Francisco area is one of the newest markets to get the LTE goodness.  The Nitro is dubbed "HD" for good reason, it has a beautiful 4.5inch 720p screen.

AT&T LTE speed testing in San Francisco Bay Area

AT&T made it's LTE service official last week in 11 new markets, two of which are in the San Francisco area.  I just got my hands on a AT&T LTE powered tablet to do some network speed tests, and to be honest, I'm in love. I will continue to do more testing, but the speed is frankly amazing, and over twice as fast as my speedtest.net results using my home AT&T DSL.
