Available in the US for $140 prepaid from T-Mobile, and around £65 in the UK and roughly AU$149 in Australia, the LG Leon is an extremely affordable smartphone that sports a 5-megapixel camera, a quad-core processor and Android 5.0 Lollipop.
Measuring 5.11 by 2.55 by 0.42 inches (129.79 by 64.77 by 10.67mm), the device is compact. However, its control buttons on the rear bulge out a bit, making it thicker around the back-center area.
Powering the phone is a 1.2GHz quad-core processor and a 1,820mAh removable battery, which lasted a decent 9 hours in our continuous video playback test.
For US customers on T-Mobile, the handset has built-in Wi-Fi calling. This means you can make and receive calls over a Wi-Fi network, which is useful whenever cellular coverage is weak or non-existent.
Although the LG Leon is inexpensive and has a few goodies like expandable storage and Wi-Fi calling, it doesn't perform as well as other budget devices like the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime, the Motorola Moto G and the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 (4.7-inch variant).
