LG Escape specifications

Weight, dimensions, colors

The weight of the LG Escape is still considered to be lightweight and portable.

System, chipset, performance

The LG Escape comes with Android OS v4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) out of the box. Android is an open-source operating system. This means the source code is free to the public. This Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960L CPU can be fast enough for basic phone operations. Smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices use Adreno GPUs.

Display type, size, resolution

People know IPS for its wide viewing angles. It also has accurate color reproduction. Smaller smartphones are generally more compact and easier to handle. The display size is the diagonal distance from one corner of the screen to the opposite corner.

Memory, storage

1 GB of RAM is not typically considered to be enough for a smartphone. Having more RAM alone does not guarantee better performance. If we use our smartphones for basic tasks like calling, texting, and browsing the web, 32 GB may be sufficient for our needs. We can expand the internal storage of the Escape (4 GB) by using a compatible microSD card.

Cameras, flash

This single camera can be enough for many smartphone users, it depends on their photography needs and preferences. The Escape does not have optical image stabilization (OIS).

Connectivity, network, wireless

The LG Escape supports 4G/LTE networks. This LG phone can connect to Wi-Fi networks at home, at work, or in public places. We can use Bluetooth to connect our Escape smartphone to many Bluetooth devices. This phone has a built-in GPS receiver. This phone is NFC (Near Field Communication) capable. The 3.5 mm headphone jack allows us to connect wired headphones or earphones to the device.

Battery type, capacity, charger

The Li-Ion 2150 mAh battery gives the smartphone a good battery backup. The Li-ion is a low maintenance battery. It does not need periodic full discharge. We can simply buy a new battery from the open market and interchange it by ourselves.

Features, sensors, specials

Today, smartphones come with many sensors. They help make the user experience better. The accelerometer provides information about the smartphone's movement in three axes. These are X (horizontal), Y (vertical), and Z (depth).
