LG G3 Vigor

The LG G3 Vigor is a lower-end version of the flagship G3, and it comes with a lot of the same features as that premium handset, but with a much lower cost.

Buttons around back

Like the G3, the phone's volume rocker and power button are on the back, just below the camera lens and within easy reach.

Rounded design

The back cover has a rounded style that fits nicely in your hands. The phone is on the thick side, but it's still compact.

Textured cover

The battery door is made of polycarbonate, but has a brushed-metal finish. Behind it you'll find the 2,540mAh battery, microSD and Micro-SIM card slots.

Cameras

On the back, there's an 8-megapixel camera with a laser-assisted auto-focus that helps take faster, sharper photos.

There's also a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera.

Pick a carrier

The Vigor is sold through both AT&T and Sprint, and both cost roughly the same. You can get one off-contract for around $13 per month for 24 months on either carrier.
