8/10
Informr score
The LG 102 currently has an Informr score of 8 out of 10. This score is based on our evaluation of 1 sources including reviews from users and the web's most trusted critics.

Some people could care less about having the latest whiz-bang gadget in the palm of their hand. Instead, they just want to have a basic device that will get the job done - texting and making phone calls. The LG 102, in Boost Mobile’s phone roster, is one such device.

The built-in screen measures just 1.5-inches diagonally and has a native resolution of 128x128 pixels. Built-in speakers are present, as well as a standard-sized headphone jack. The standard battery gives over 9 hours of talk time and lasts for nearly a month in standby.

There's few features of mention on this phone but most reviewers agree that it’s an excellent no-frills mobile phone at an attractive price point.
