LG G Stylo - user opinions and reviews

So, I've been a long time fan of LG phones, going back to the Rumor Touch and Optimus Slider. Had hoped to get a new phone with a keyboard, but they're just not out there.
Saw that Boost Mobile had the Stylo on sale and my last phone had just died so I picked it up. I don't understand these negative reviews at all. Mine has been a peach, for the most part. Updated to android 6 the first time I turned it on. Good reception all over the place. Big, bright screen. Decent camera and audio. So far, it's only flaw is that it will sometimes fail to notify me of an incoming text message. I'm guessing that's a software issue that will be fixed, eventually.
The phone has been pretty darn durable. Mine gets a lot of heat sitting on my dash all day doing navigation duties (I'm a courier), an environment that killed my last phone, a Motorola Photon Q. Of course, any phone will suffer if treated poorly, so mine is always in a protective case. But so far, I have not seen any of the complaints listed by other reviewers. It's a good phone and I would recommend it to any adult user.

Ive had this phone for a year now and I have no problem with it. Its does what its supose to.
and if I were to critize something about it, it would be the camara some it doesnt take the best of photos but I could live with it. For the price I think its great if you want something better you could pay more.

Bought the phone from T-Mobile, was GREAT! Broke the screen, T-Mobile sent me mother and it's utter SHIT! Screen flashes, buttons stop working, half the time my rear camera won't work, constantly freezes.

This phone is OK but there is no Android Marshmallow and no gryoscope or VR support. I sometimes is useless.

Freezing...flickering...s l o w response...screen turns off on it's own and sits as a black screen. If I am paying for a service and a phone...I feel like I might as well throw $$$ out the window with this pos! Too much to ask for a phone without issues? How about one that alerts texts...too much to ask???

So i got this phone in february. I wanted another phone but my parents said it was too expensive. I needed a phone with a big screen. Well after about two months i hated how big the case mad the phone and i got into a fist fight and my phone fell out of my pocket and this was my first time dropping it without the case, the screen shattered. After that, the outter edge of the screen will blink sometimes. Also, when someone tries to call me, the ringer fand caller id to answer the call fail until the last 20 seconds. Finally, the battery dies too fast. Last night i went to sleep and left my phone on charge because it takes too long to charge. But thats not the worst part about the battery. I have to constantly buy chargers because every now and then, my phone will eat it. Within the last month, i would say i went through seven chargers. I would not recomend yhis phone to ANYONE! And that means alot because i usually never hate something this much. All to say in the end, this phone was a rip off and i will not bw buying another LG product

LG Canada helpdesk were very polite and helpful in solving the problem.

i got this phone about 4 months ago and used it for a little while before changing carriers. As with other statements, this phone is total crap. unresponsive touch screen, freezing, lag. but the worst part is that once switched i gave the phone to my mother. A week after she transferred her number to the phone it permanently crashed and would no longer boot up. Kept showing a 'Secure Booting Error' Boost was no help in resolving this problem. Kept blaming LG. LG kept blaming Boost and would not honor the warranty.

Same. Either the 'Home' or the lock screen keeps freezing. Also, my data won't turn off even though it's set to 'off' in the Settings.

As many others have stated, do not buy a LG G Stylo, total waste of your money. Slow, freezes, flickers, screen turns off and on, no memory and the camera is the worst. I paid $230. back in Dec. 2015. Look around at the reviews and even at new low $79.99 price now they can't sell them.. Spend a few more of your hard earned dollar's and buy a Samsung, I wish I would have.
Not Happy :(

I keep hearing about a recall on the LG Stylo, after researching issues, and reading many comments, the only major issue I have with my Stylo is the GPS having trouble finding my location while searching directions. I'm rather good at navigation so I can normally get past this issue, but I can't say I've had problems with my screen "flickering" or the speaker crackling. She holds a damn good charge throughout the day, and my service is good, and I've had it for about 3 months now. Any replies and or complaints are welcome to help me better understand other issues.

I had an LG Volt before and I was pretty happy with it. Because of a busted screen I justified buying this LG G Stylo, mistake. I read all the reviews and it seemed like it might be ok, well not for me. Slow, like stupid slow at times, freezes and have to restart, buttons on the back is very inconvenient at times because of my case. It's not all bad but when your phone is so slow that you have to literally take time out from whatever your doing because it just doesn't want to respond, SUCKS!!! One more thing, it has this thing where if you are trying to put in your pin or password too fast it zooms in and you have to lock the screen and restart it or it wont work, stupid idea and it took me forever but I finally figured out how to turn off that stupid box thing that you would have to move around the screen before you could use other apps. Oh Yeah, it is freaking JAMED with bloat ware and worthless apps you can't delete or disable that use way too much memory. Spend more money, get a better phone, the savings weren't really worth it, but that's just my opinion.
