If you are VERY careful you should be able to trim down the casing as the actual SIM chip and circuitry is only slightly larger than the contact pads area. If you look closely with a light at an oblique angle you should see a slight depression where the plastic transitions from encasing the chip and just being solid plastic.

Absolute garbage device. Inherited a Sprint model from my dad when my S5s screen broke (due to a piece of ceramic striking the edge of the screen at the worst possible location, so....understandable. Otherwise I dropped the thing a thousand times, not a scratch on it) and I could not be more aggravated by a piece of technology if they tried!
First, an OTA update killed text reception while my dad was still using it. Luckily rolling it back to factory 'fixed' it. Except it doesn't just drink the battery power, it seems to hold the punch bowl over itself and dumps it at it's open mouth. I can watch it go down with every key I press, the battery gauge moves faster than the speedo in my car! Resetting the battery controller (by completely discharging to no response and recharging for 24 hrs, twice) doesn't affect it. It's slow, clunky, a pain in the @$$ to use, constantly crashes apps, unreliable message delivery. The only thing it did well was when I used it to patch cell service through my router for internet (openWRT router firmware and USB tethering via a USB port on the router), it was on the edge of reception but I had it on a tripod and angled it for the best signal (monitored via an app) and it got the job done. Slow compared to 100mbps U/D coax, but I could have the TV streaming YouTube (on low quality) and surf on my PC.
But I have sworn a blood oath to the gods, this phone will die the most painful death a piece of technology I can devise for it then grind what is left into dust and be returned to nature as a offering to apologize to nature for gifting us these minerals and yet using them to produce this absolute disgrace to every computer scientist ever.

Had a bit of a bad experience with this phone. Battery is mediocre, performance is sluggish, and that camera is like something out of 2013-2014.Even worse, it's impossible to root this phone without the bootloader unlocked. Stay away from this rubbish phone as you'll regret purchasing it. Also, R.I.P LG phones 2021

That phone has a cool sounding name. Sadly it doesn't have cool sounding specs.

I recently got this phone(more b/c of its smaller size b/C of my job & it also still was "competative enuff"as far as having moderate RAM/ROM, etc., etc) & I had a bigger LG just prior that was slower & less RAM/ROM ironically(so "size" In the Android world can be deceiving). So I felt ok going again w/an LG. Anyway, out of 10 stars I give it around a 6.5-6.8..maybe 7 tops. But MAIN OR I wanted to clear was I saw they described it's Radio as having "None" & 2any1 who actually uses FM Band over "Streaming"(& sucking away un'cssry data use..heh, Radio's FREE!)..I WANNA PT OUT THAT WAS AN ERROR LISTED. IT DOES HAVE A BUILT IN FM RADIO TUNER BUT YOU NEED THE "Next App"(& The ONLY free App that turns on & uses & moderates EVERY Android's FM Tuner..some Natn'l 'Movement & Group fought to make public a basic App to turn on every Androids Internal FM Band/Tuner & that's why it's the ONLY 1!). And it at 1st gave me some "issues" I just "opened up" every OPTION 4the App & presto..free FM Radio w/out WiFi or Data..I mean "totally FREE!!" ..& uses only your headphone wire as an antennae. Good luck if you go with this "Hand Sized" phone w/moderately everything!

Great phone for the price. The only thing that I hate about this phone , is the lack of volume. The volume still sounds too low with my headphones plugged in too. Still a great phone!

A Tribute to a fleeting smartphone Empire. Card slot. Removable battery. 16:9. Bezels. The LG that people needed. Poignant.

I bought the empire and there was no micro SD slot, so I returned it. If someone can tell me where it is located maybe I will re-purchase it. It was a nice phone but for that.
