LG Voyager Reviews

CrunchGear reviews the LG Voyager and writes, "The 2-megapixel camera isn’t that great and it lacks a flash so don’t expect too much from it. Would it kill LG to add Wi-Fi? The Voyager’s predecessors always had great speakers and the VX10000 is no different...If you’re looking for THE cool phone on Verizon’s network then pick up the Voyager. It’s available today at your local Verizon store."

PC Mag reviews the LG Voyager and writes, "The 2MP autofocus camera takes photos that are for the most part acceptable, though bright areas in outdoor shots are overexposed, and captures slightly dark 320-by-240 videos. The autofocus does a reasonable job of keeping things sharp. Like all autofocus camera phones, it's dreadfully slow: There's 1.4-second delay while the camera sets its focus. You can turn the feature off, though, and when you do the Voyager is one of the fastest camera phones I've ever tested, with no measurable shutter delay."

MobileBurn reviews the LG Voyager and writes, "The LG VX10000 Voyager is packed with multimedia capabilities and good application functionality. Let's start with the auto-focus 2 megapixel camera, which snaps beautiful photos using either display a full screen viewfinder. The AF system on the Voyager can be configured in either a 1-touch or 2-touch mode. The default 1-touch mode is fine as long as the subject of the photo is in the center of the frame. If not, the 2-step process will allow the first button press to set the focus while the second press will snap the photo after the user has recomposed the shot. The camera works well for everything from close-ups to landscapes."

InfoSync reviews the LG Voyager and writes, "We were pleasantly surprised by the camera on the LG Voyager. Perhaps the auto-focus makes all the difference, but we found images to be accurate, with nice, rich colors. There was some blurring around edges, and zooming-in revealed some noise, even in good lighting. But, for a 2-megapixel sensor, this phone creates images that we found usable and even enjoyable. Under low-light, things fall apart a bit, so it wasn't as impressive filming the holiday light show at New York's Time Warner Center. But, with QVGA videos and some nice imaging options, the camera on the Voyager is not only a nice feature, it's also another way the Voyager trumps other touch screen devices."

CNET reviews the LG Voyager and writes, "The Voyager's has a solid 2-megapixel camera, though it's short on a few options. And frankly, we were hoping that LG would bump up the resolution from that of the enV. You can take pictures in four resolutions (1,600x1,200; 1,280x960; 640x480; 320x240) and choose from four color effects and four white-balance settings. There's also a 2.5x digital zoom (unusable at the highest resolution), spot metering, a brightness control, a night mode, a self timer, and three shutter sounds (plus a silent option). The nifty autofocus is carried over from the enV; it's quite useful, as it helped us to the keep the phone steady and eliminates blurriness when taking our shots."

Laptop Mag reviews the LG Voyager and writes, "We really enjoyed the 2-megapixel camera. The pictures were crisp, and colors weren't too washed out, but we recommend using the camera in well-lit environments only. You can record 320 x 240-pixel resolution videos, which default to 30 seconds for MMS messages. Although the external display lets you view yourself while you're taking a picture, like a mirror, you can't use this display for the video camera."

Gadget Lab reviews the LG Voyager and writes, "Cool haptic feedback on the external LCD: Press an item on the screen and you'll feel a slight vibration. The 2-megapixel camera takes decent-looking snapshots and videos. Easy-to-access microSD slot supports cards as large as 8GB. Watch live broadcast television — but only where Verizon's V CAST Mobile TV service is available."

Digital Trends reviews the LG Voyager and writes, "The 2-megapixel camera takes neither as sharp a picture as the iPhone's nor as high-res as the Nokia N95's, and the autofocus is agonizingly slow. But in well-lit situations our test pictures were clear enough and had acceptable color for a cell phone camera. Good luck capturing moving subjects though; the time between pressing the shutter button and the image capture averaged around 4 seconds in our testing. You can also shoot 320 x 240 videos; our test movies looked adequate, but you're not making an Oscar-winner with the Voyager."

PowerPage reviews the LG Voyager and writes, "The camera quality is decent. Having the ability to capture video is very cool. The camera application also offers plenty of options that the iPhone lacks. However, the quality still doesn't come close to my super-old Canon S200 (2 megapixel) camera."

Mobile Magazine reviews the LG Voyager and writes, "The digital camera is just a 2.0 megapixel unit and the image quality is far from fantastic. It helps that there is autofocus and the ability to adjust things like white balance, but don't expect the performance to be anywhere near a standalone camera. It also stinks that there is no flash, so pictures in dim settings are completely out of the question."
