Test : LG Stylus 2, this smartphone can make you forget the Galaxy Note … – 01net.com

A smartphone with a stylus for a third of the price of the Galaxy Note 7 : this is what is offered by LG with its Stylus 2. Of course at this price, impossible to have a finish and the same power. This can be seen with the naked eye as soon as one leaves the device out of the box. The back grooved plastic doesn’t feel high quality. The design is not flamboyant. We note at the back to the classics volume buttons and lock dear in LG, but no trace here of fingerprint sensor.

Limited to an HD resolution (720 x 1 280 points), the screen displays a good contrast of 1 373:1. Unfortunately, the brightness of only 302 cd/m2 spoils a bit of this good performance. One obtains, in spite of everything, a screen is well-balanced overall, provided you do not use it outdoors in full sun.

A pen to use very basic

When there is good light, the photo sensor of 13 megapixel camera is quite good, with shots quite accurate and fast autofocus. Things go bad quickly in a dark environment with a rendering that is done to blur. Finally, despite a fluidity evident, the videos lack a stabilization that would make the set really fun to watch

Hidden in the slice, at the top right of the camera, is the stylus. Much less technologically advanced than that of the Galaxy Note 7, it consists of a simple iron rod with a high in fiber. According to LG, this last, more fine that the rubber would provide more control over a path. In fact, the use is much less advanced than that of a Galaxy Note 7. Here, no pressure sensitivity, for example. To vary the thickness of a line, rather, they will need to play on the speed of movement, a choice little natural.

beyond design, the pen also lets you make captures of what is displayed on the screen and, of course, take notes. We also note the presence of a tuner to the standard DAB+. Otherwise known under the name of Radio Digital Terrestre (RNT), this technology is the equivalent of the TNT for the audio. Unfortunately, its development is still in an embryonic state in France and we were not able to capture that eight radio Africa n°1, Antinea Radio, Beur FM, Crooner Radio, France Maghreb 2, Radio Courtoisie, Radio Orient and Live FM. Suffice to say that the choice is quickly limited.

autonomy, good point for the Stylus 2

Question is pure performance, this model is not the lightning of war. It incorporates a processor Snapdragon 410 at 1.2 GHz, a graphics chip Adreno 306, and 1.5 GHz of RAM. A little light to turn the smartphone correctly in all uses. Its interface has some latency, which is unpleasant and annoying in everyday life. For 3D games, with a little less than 30 images per second displayed in the test Epic Citadel, it is hard to play properly, except to drastically reduce the definition of games.

outside of its price and its wide diagonal, the Stylus 2 has but one string to his bow : a self-very correct. With its battery, a 3 000 mAh battery and its processor is not very powerful, he held 8 h 33 in our test versatile. It excels also in communication with almost 25 hours straight on call.
