The phone certainly thrills us to a great extent. The stunning 3D effects and the speedy processor does make LG Thrill 4G an eye catcher. However, if you are looking for a pone which offers you longer battery life then you should consider HTC Evo 3D...

Video Review: The LG Thrill 4G smartphone comes with a dual core 1 GHz processor, a 4.3" touch screen, twin 5 megapixel cameras and more. On top of that, you can create your own 3D content and browser the net on AT&T's 4G network, all for $99 with a...

The big reason to get the LG Thrill 4G is not for the 4G, but for the 3D. As everyone says, it is a bit of a gimmick. You can only see it at the right distance at the right angle and in landscape mode. The 3D tends to tire out your eyes, or make you...

For the price, the LG Thrill 4G makes for a decent and fun Android device that includes 3D capabilities, but if you're after power and performance, there are better...

We really like the LG Thrill 4G, especially at the surprisingly low $99 contract price. It's a fast dual core Android phone, and though we're a little disappointed that it runs Android OS 2.2 Froyo, AT&T says it will get the Gingerbread 2.3...

The AT&T LG Thrill 4G is a high-quality, dual-core Android phone that features a 3D camera and 3D gaming. But the 4G here isn't really 4G....
