I have tried all of Verizon's single core 4G LTE phones, and my conclusion: The Droid Charge gives you the most bang for your buck. The Droid Charge is pretty lightweight, especially because of the plastic build. The phone feels good in my hands, and the actual buttons at the bottom of the phone are to my liking. Call quality on the charge is very good. Phone calls sound crisp and clear, and reception is pretty consistent with other Verizon phones I have owned. In terms of sound clarity on both the speaker and handset, the Charge is better than The HTC Thunderbolt, but a notch below the Apple iPhone. The battery lasts much longer than other 4G phones from VZW, giving you most of the day without needing a recharge. If you have a spare battery, then you can rest assured that you will not experience the same "battery anxiety" as you do with other 4G phones. Also, the Charge's screen is very eye pleasing. The size (4.3") hits the sweet spot, and the colors are deep and bright. The 8mp camera on this phone is amazing. One of the first things I usually check out when first using a phone is the camera. On the Droid Charge, the camera takes beautiful close shots and colors are very bright. The touch to focus is great and comes in handy. The full screen viewfinder (6mpwide) is a great assistant to accentuate detail. I find the still images to be slightly brighter than the Thunderbolt and iPhone, with more saturated colors. 720p Video recording might lag at times, but is overall good for a phone camera. HDMI Mirror mode is one of my favorite features. By connecting an HDMI cable from the Charge to my HDTV, I can see my phone on the big screen. Whatever my phone screen is showing, that's what shows up on my TV. With 4G LTE on the Charge,I have experienced speeds averaging 14MBPS, but up to 34MBPS. Comparing this to Verizon's 3G which fetches around 1.5MBPS in my area, the 4G screams! The 4G doesn't affect the battery on this phone as much as it did on others, such as the HTC Thunderbolt and LG Revolultion, and there is a setting to turn it off. This phone is good, but not without it's issues. The amount of RAM in this phone is pretty low. In other words, you may experience lag in day to day use. Scrolling or swiping on the home screen or browser pages may get annoying for some. The lag is also apparent in multi tasking. I usually feel a burden when running more than one task, thus putting the built in task manager to more use. I usually stay on top of my running applications, so I'm not too upset. Another drawback is the software update process. It's unfortunate that a phone that was released just a few months ago has not received the software that was released over a year ago. Also, this phone will probably not receive Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0), but I may be wrong. I just can't picture the internals of this phone to be capable of running more demanding software. For the price that this phone is now selling on eBay, I highly recommend giving it a chance. The battery life is good, and the camera is great. 4G LTE speed is in a class of its own and is great on the Droid Charge.Read full review
My phone recently broke and I needed an upgrade to keep my Unlimited Data plan, the Charge offered AMOLED display technology and 4G speeds at an affordable price. While that is great in itself, it lacks in other areas like RAM, CPU power and battery life. The Charge actually drains the battery roughly 2-3x faster than my HTC Rhyme once did on a stock battery. The phone is enjoyable but it's not for those looking to see upgrade paths, the single threaded CPU means little for software updates and the battery drains at extreme levels. It's good to get you by if you're not a heavy user but if you're highly active you'll need some backup power and charging options. Overall given the investment cost it was a good choice that I'd go with again as the boost from 3G to 4G is night and day. Currently able to surpass my current cable provider speeds at 30/20 on Speedtest.Read full review
I've been a android user for about a year. My original phone was a Droid X. Then I went to the iPhone 4. I can honestly say this phone blows both of them out of the water by a long shot. Verizon LTE is incredibly fast. The phone iteself is very quick, multitasks without a hiccup. Super Amoled + screen is in a league of its own. It is just remarkable. Samsung has done some great things to the boring android user interface. Biggest drawback is the battery life. It is about half of what the Droid X and iPhone 4 are. The camera takes better pictures then the iPhone, which were already very good.
These are great, for the price, It's definitly my backup. One will be my sons. They are fine for that "era" of 4G LTE phones. Memory is a bit low and the processor is slow by 2013 standards but they will do anything you really need for everyday use. The size and shape are small to my large hands but its comfortable. The design still holds up. It's android, we all know how to use it, it's elementary.
I'm glad I got this phone on ebay, rather than from verizon. For me the main drawback is the physical dedicated buttons. How many smartphones even have that feature? Most phones have softkeys if any. These hard keys are just more hardware to go bad. I guess samsung cut production costs by going this route. For those of us who use the music player, I found the interface to be more tedious than my motorola droid. Some functions on the samsung require more steps than the motorola. Another weird thing is that my computer doesn't seem to read the phone when I connect via usb (on a side note, I experienced the same situation with a samsung galaxy tab). This wasnt an issue at all with the motorola. Other than that, the user interface and Android 2.2 are smooth. I like how Samsung includes some control toggles in the notification drop down pane. It's pretty cool how you can toggle on/off the data connection, while retaining the 4g lte connectivity for texts and phone calls. The amoled display and large screen are crisp as any other competing android phone. The HDMI comes in real handy for displaying videos on a big tv. The swype keyboard software is revolutionary, and my favorite feature on this phone. I've gotten so familiar with this feature that I catch myself trying to do it on other devices haha. I think swype is the single most significant innovation with samsung devices. Personally I think it serves as an edge over all the competing brands. Since this is probably one of samsung's premier 4g lte androids, I guess I can't really say much else about the negatives.Read full review
