The battery dies really quickly and the 1.2 GHZ quad core processor is basic. The memory also runs out quickly and I had issues with my micro SD card d. If you were looking for a basic phone for everyday purposes forna fairly cheap price this would be recommended if your price point is below $50. The phone held up after being dropped numerous times and only broke when dropped flat face down.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=4705 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=4705&r=42292#review42292 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=4705&r=42292#review42292 Sat, 26 Mar 2016 15:47:11 GMT <p><i>Xtre submitted this review of the LG Leon (LTE) / Risio:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Got this cheap and its really fast and world like a charm also it looks very good</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=4705 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=4705&r=42285#review42285 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=4705&r=42285#review42285 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 03:37:09 GMT <p><i>cindirobb submitted this review of the LG Leon (LTE) / Risio:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I received a text message from my carrier that I could update my phone(I had a Moto G LTE)to a LG Risio,that my phone was more or less obsolete,all for the price of$24.??<br />I went to my cricket store ; I got the LG Risio for the $24.??plus the$25 activation plus the cost for the casing.<br />I really didn't like it;but then again human nature tends to have us resist change.I thought to myself...just give it a chance...you're just not use to it&amp;it is just a matter of getting use to doing things differently on this phone.<br />Seems to take better pictures than my other phone.I don't like how you zoom in or get the flash to be on or not...maybe I'm just stubborn on this particular item.I have not been able to make my home screen the way I'd like it to be with the icons arranged in the order that I want them.I liked the visual voice mail feature actually.Then I was told that it had the regular voice mail too still on it&amp; that it had my messages on it.I then realized that there are many missed phone calls that I should've had messages for but I didn't have them on my visual voice mail.Where are they I wonder?Worst timing ever for this to happen.Son's birthday party is coming up &amp; rsvp was requested.I have received no messages for party:but there are several phone numbers missed that I don't recognize.The sound is not acceptable at all.I have a hard time understanding others when they call.When I'm talking to others the volume does as it pleases.Either they can't hear me or they think I'm screaming at them.Needless to say I've been hung up on several times.I tried adjusting the volume.No help.Had it on low&amp;the person still heard me screaming.When a caller couldn't hear me I would turn up volume&amp;still they either could barely hear me or not at all.Sometimes the volume would fluctuate during the call to where they either couldn't hear me or thought I was yelling at them.The phone changes screens on its own.Spell check is awful.<br />I wouldn't recommend this phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=4705 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=4705&r=42282#review42282 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=4705&r=42282#review42282 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 18:40:09 GMT <p><i>lalefty submitted this review of the LG Leon (LTE) / Risio:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone overheats.

It's decent for sure. Compared to the l70 I had previously, it is faster, brighter, and much more smoother as well. Not to say the phone doesn't have its downsides however. I'm in Florida and the call quality is pretty choppy, though still just good enough to hear what the person on the other end is saying. Overall, this is a decent phone for its price.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=4705 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=4705&r=42110#review42110 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=4705&r=42110#review42110 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 18:06:39 GMT <p><i>svec7186 submitted this review of the LG Leon (LTE) / Risio:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>for the price, and my usage with batery saver on all the time, o get 2 days of usage.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=4705 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=4705&r=42072#review42072 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=4705&r=42072#review42072 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 23:05:35 GMT <p><i>Wams_1 submitted this review of the LG Leon (LTE) / Risio:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Its not that big or too small, its LTE network is great, its a good phone for its price.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=4705 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=4705&r=42021#review42021 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=4705&r=42021#review42021 Sun, 06 Sep 2015 05:29:46 GMT <p><i>Shuja submitted this review of the LG Leon (LTE) / Risio:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>For all of u out there wanted to buy this phone i can tell its good and has a nice camera for that money and a good flash also nice quality but lolipop 5.0.X is making it lag because of memory leak problems!you should buy it when the 5.1.1 comes out because it will fix the problem!

My phones take a beating.<br /><br />The lock/power and volume control buttons on the back are a huge plus for those of us with old hands with limited dexterity. <br /><br />If I need a larger screen or more processing power I will use my tablet with this phone's hotspot providing the net connection. I mainly need the phone to talk, text, and provide a hotspot. This one fits the purpose.<br /><br />The camera is good for a cell phone camera. <br /><br />I have only had it a short time, but so far no complaints. <br /><br />If anyone from LG is reading this, please add the location of the microSD slot to the instruction book.

I do not expect it to perform like a Galaxy Note 4, however, I do expect a budget smartphone to at least be able to perform basic functions without problems. <br /><br />This LG Leon is truly the worst smartphone I have ever tried at any price point. It regularly freezes, the screen goes blank (either black or white), and it often takes over 10 seconds to open an app after receiving a notification. It has excessively long charge times. The display is terrible and not readable in the sun, plus, it often can't be turned up to full brightness. Instead there will be an error message saying the phone is too hot to turn up the brightness. It is getting returned this week! T-Mobile should have never released this phone and I can't see how it got passed its testing process. Same goes with LG. <br /><br />In it's place, I got a second generation Moto E with LTE, unlocked, via Amazon. It is a dramatically improved experience with none of the above problems. The display is much better and can be seen in the sun. It is buttery smooth and has a degree of quality not expected at such a low price point. If motorola can turn out such a great budget smartphone, why can't LG? Plus my Moto E has already updated to Android 5.1 direct from Motorola with no carrier obstacles.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=4705 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=4705&r=41976#review41976 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=4705&r=41976#review41976 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 16:38:35 GMT <p><i>Buklutzi submitted this review of the LG Leon (LTE) / Risio:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The phone is a joke and rushed to market. Compared with its older sibling, the F60 (which I had) this one is just absurd excuse of a 64-bit phone. So what that it has A53 Cortex and 410 chip-set, and lollipop OS? A phone's only as good as its function and this one leaves a TON to be desired.<br /><br />For starters, it gets too hot really quickly - according to CPU-Z app, the four "cores" run all the time, vs the F60 which only ran a core when it needed it. So it would run core 0, and the other three would be at "stop" state. Not the Leon - it seems to be running all of them, all the time<br /><br />So get this - when it gets too hot, it dims the phone - when you try bringing up the brightness to highest level, it states - no way, can't, it's too hot! What?<br /><br />The charging on the F60 was phenomenal - I mean... in 20-30 min you'd have enough charge to last you the day - and in less than 2 hours it was done. All that with the included charger (x>1.0amp) On this slow poke, charging takes for ever. Leave it overnight, and then MAYBE it'll be done by tomorrow<br /><br />The screen on this, although diagonally measured being the same, is SMALLER than the F60. Meaning, it has a smaller area. Why do you ask is that since the hypotenuse measurement is the same? because of the angels. and this just vexes me. I'm terribly vexed.<br /><br />The screen is also not as bright as F60 - supposedly because it's realistic color.. who... gives.... a ... rat's... ? What, you think I'm using this for a gallery picture exhibition? Get real.<br /><br />In a phenomenal flash of intelligence LG put the power and volume buttons on on the back - can you spell retarded?</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=4705
