Pros:

Strong performance and graphics; Inexpensive over two years; Lightweight design
The LG Connect 4G is a snappy dual-core phone with great in-ear audio playback and a beautiful and vibrantly bright display.
Bright, beautiful display, Comfortable to hold and use, Good data speeds, Inexpensive monthly plans.

Cons:

Weak audio; Mediocre camera; Short battery life; Low screen resolution
Battery life on the Connect 4G isn't so great, and all the bloatware is a drag. Also, the camera's photo quality could be better.
