5.8/10
Informr score
The LG Vantage currently has an Informr score of 5.8 out of 10. This score is based on our evaluation of 59 sources including reviews from users and the web's most trusted critics.

Leave it to LG to build a full touchscreen device that is also a slider. The LG Vantage provides a solution for folks who want a touchscreen and an alphanumeric keypad, not a full Qwerty.

This slider is similar in design to the Shine, but the Vantage has a metal body and feels much studier. You get a large, 2.8 inch 240 x 400 pixel resolution display, stereo Bluetooth, expandable memory, 2MP camera with video capture, and music player.

The Vantage is an attractive and interesting phone, offering a mid-level feature set for folks who want something more without making the jump to a full blown smartphone. Additional features include an alarm, calculator, calendar, voice memo and speakerphone.

With a talk time rated at 3.5 hours and a standby time rated at seven days, the LG Vantage adds up to a capable device that combines style with meaningful features that will keep you interested.
