By far the worst phone I have ever used. Even those brick Nokias of the old were better than this piece of trash simply because there wasn't any expectations on those (brick) phones!
Battery problems
I often lose 1-2% of battery every minute of whatsapp messaging. A half an hour whatsapp chat can quickly drain up half of my battery life. There was once I even restarted this phone when it was at 50% battery and overheating its ass off only for it to sputter back to life momentarily with its battery meter red and go flat immediately after.
It heats up as fast as a kettle!!! Often accompanied with the fast battery drainage, this overheating problem sets in very fast. You could be scrolling around your email and 5 minutes later the phone feels like your car bonnet parked under the midday sun.
IT DOESN'T DO WHAT YOU TELL IT TO DO.
Every night, I turn off the Wi-Fi and the data network as well as set the phone to airplane mode. Every morning, I wake up to emails and whatsapp messages sent in the middle of the night. When the phone is supposed to be offline.
80% of the time when I try to turn on the Wi-Fi from the shortcut menu at the top of the screen, the phone would turn its Wi-Fi back off the moment I open internet and I will end up wasting a few minutes trying to connect to no avail because how the heck am I to know that this shit thing would turn its Wi-Fi off itself?!?
A few things can happen when you press the lock button:
1. It locks the screen/ prompts an unlock/ goes to the home page. This is what it is supposed to do. This also only happens about 30% of the time (to be conservative).
2. It prompts you to restart itself (about 50% of the time)
3. The light of the home button comes on for a few seconds. The screen remains blank and unresponsive and basically nothing else happens (about 20% of the time)
It lags like hell
Enough said.
It is full of bloatware that it becomes so confusing as to which apps to use for which actions. There are duplicates: apps by LG, apps by Google, apps by some third party or some older version of the LG/ Google apps just to do something simple like open an image attachment.
TLDR: Don't buy this phone

In short: if i could throw this phone off a cliff i would do it in a heartbeat.
This is the worst phone i have ever had and i plan on never getting another LG. Ever.
Few issues:
- phone apparently is autonomous and 'it' decides when it wants to randomly turn itself off and restart.
- Having to load media every time the phone is turned off and then on again? seriously? the amount of times this processes had lagged or stopped completely at 55 or 97% loaded (meaning the phone and the process has to be restarted again).
- Camera glitches. App will open but will show a black screen. Requires phone to be restarted... which leads to the point above about having to load media.
- Apps constantly crash leading to phone having to be rebooted because the entire phone freezes.
This phone is less than 14 months old on a 24 month plan and i do try to take care of it but i would never waste the money to buy it. Seriously, don't waste your money.

Its a good phone, i have a galaxy note 2 thats pretty big to carry around as daily driver, so i just brought this phone, and i noticed the main diference between them is the camera and battery , besides that , its so snapy as my note 2 , a bit slower while playing games(subway surfers). If you think to turn 4g lte on, is better carry your travel charger with you becouse this phone discharge in 4 hours with 4g on and 12 hours with wifi.Here in brazil, for it value theres no better phone than that. PS: Lg set the cpu of this phone to 1,2 ghz but its possible to raise for 1.5 ghz.

So I'm $30 out of pocket until then, but after the credit it will be Christmas before I start paying again! Phones are effectively $70 each over two years.

Does anyone know the processor? Because here and in benchmarks programs it says that the F5 P875 have an 1.5GHz Dual Core Processor, but on my country, in almost any stores and online reviews of this smartphone and even in the oficial LG site, it says that the processor is a Dual core 1.2Ghz one.
