LG Aristo 2 - User Reviews

  • Do One Thing.Change This Crap And Buy A New One(not this)!

  • My phone (Aristo 2) only gives me 2G network. I have tried resetting the phone but the result is the same. I need help

  • Letme sta start I'm on my favorite piece of crapheadache. Yall are sending exactly what it is doing to drive me crazy!!! I'll input one thing sometimes it says Another. I've been sitting at 2% charged for about an hour. No it's not a great battery it had been sitting with one of my 17 charger cords taped yes THAT IS WHAT I SAID TAPED!!!!! To mutt pine so it stays I !!!!! Because it's still under warranty MetroPCS has replaced this nightmare 3 times. I'm on my 4th one!!! I hate this phone!!!! The only reason I even got it was because someone stole my other phone right before my insurance kicked in. I don't care what anyone says I'll NEVER accept this free phone nightmare!!!! EVER AGAIN!!!!!

  • Phone quit working less than a year after I bought it had to send it back to the factory and now I've had it for a year-and-a-half and now it will not charge unless I turn it on and off I have had other problems with it I would not buy another one

  • The new Aristo 4+ is absolutely horrible!!!! I took the phone back twice thinking the first one was broken. It lowers the volume and turns off light while you are using it. I keep saying hello hello and then the people come on full volume, then I can't hear. Then the phone darkens to black while talking. WHAT A HORRIBLE PRODUCT.

  • My LG aristo 2 has moments where it states that there is no sd card inserted, yet it is in. I've never tampered with it. I have to shut it off and on about 6 times to get my service back when this happens. Also the storage is really low. 16 GB is WAY too little. A Galaxy S6 has more memory than this phone, and the s6 was released 3 years before the aristo 2. Don't by this piece of crap. The Galaxy S6 costs about the same amount as this phone and it is better in about every way.

  • Totally agree with your comment!!!

  • I've had The Aristo and Aristo 2.. They BOTH have high pitched, squeaky sounds coming through the speaker when on speaker phone. Ridiculous. I will not buy another.

  • Crappy charge port.... Crappy headphone port.... Battery heats up the device to unreasonable temperature's. ... Any app. Such as .. Google maps.. Or youtube... Destroy your battery charge in mere minutes.. Overall... Unhappy ....junk!!!... My old lg flip phone had better ports than this!.. Would have kept it... But no one builds parts for it!!

  • This little phone is a beast for a budget phone, it's just the right size the design feels great in the hand and is uniform (no protrusions anywhere), runs great and has amazing battery life with a good quality battery after using it everyday for 2 years it only lost 5% battery health.

  • It's okay, the newer one is LG Aristo 3 I believe

  • It is fine.

  • U just gotta swipe up 🙄

  • hello, I just want to know whats the price and where can I buy it

  • By far one of the worst phones ever very slow touch screen sucks badly and it cant even handle fb and ig do not get this phone its a set back and frustrating

  • Have an Aristo, and an Aristo 2. I keep getting them basically for free for buying a few months of prepaid time at a time. The camera is functional, the screen works, the light turns on, it connects to data, it has a micro SD slot. It will not impress anyone in what it is capable of. But if all you are looking for is a phone you won't shed a tear over if it gets smashed under a forklift (yes, I lost one that way) or has molten steel from a welding operation burn through it (another one I lost) but still does all the stuff you expect a smartphone to do, it is a great option.

  • Great little budget phone! If your looking for a great all rounder on a budget look no further this phone has it all in a sleek slim and most importantly reliable package. Battery life is great! If your asking whats the downside its mostly just the screen which has obvious ghosting and image quality issues but it's better than cutting corners elsewhere.

  • I've had Iphones, Blackberries, Motorola, Samsung and honestly had my complaints, likes and dislikes for all of them. I owned an Aristo and loved it. Loved it enough to upgrade to the Aristo 2. Yes, there are better phones. Not at this price though. When an Aristo 3 comes out I'll buy that. Very happy with this phone and the camera!

  • this phone is no good

  • Trash. Fake ios without buttons keeps foece closing. Disappearing buttons that makes the phone barely operable because its all touch. The worst phone ive used

  • Bought the phone in March. Now it's Dec. Slow downs crappy camera. Software issues with file transfers ( works when it wants to) battery life was good. Now can't hold a charge or charge people. Samsung head myself made the mistake of trying something different. Folks have the Galaxy j models and don't have these issues . Camera is better to. Sending this lg shit back to them and selling it as refurbished as soon as I get home and getting me a samsung.

  • And what about LG K30

  • it still doesnt say the phone screen dimensios

  • Being a first phone it's pretty good. 16 GB is not that bad its not really meant to have a lot of high quality games. Battery life is good for a first phone and even better if you know how to use the brightness properly. One of the only flaws is the face id it needs work. But overall its a good phone

  • this phone sucks the memory sucks i have like 4 apps and i cant even update my daughters gizmo app without deleting everything off my phone so i did and it really still wouldnt update thats outrageous !!!!

  • a really good phone for games

  • Being it is a budget Smartphone I take that into account. As I tell other people it is like a budget car. It will get me from here to there just with less luxury than a BMW. The battery is probably less too since it's budget. Driving around having to find addresses for my job using Mapping Apps wears it out. If the top of the line Smartphones do better than that I wouldn't know. I'm very happy considering it is a budget phone.

  • years?! look at the date sir

  • I really love this phone it a perfect phone but the charging port stopped working after 4 months of use and really bugs me. But overall is fantastic.

  • this is a good phone battery is great

  • No problems until I dropped it today. Now it has white lines, but I did have it for a coiple years now so I am due for a new phone.

  • Don't buy the LG Aretard 2 phone. Battery life totally blows! LG 20 is a much better model in the class of cheap phones.

  • K20 plus is def the better model

  • I agree I also own this phone and I think it's very nice it has given me me no problems and I've been able to do everything I need to do with it

  • Just looking at the specs on the phone ot seems like complete grabage and the only thing good is the deal becuase it's a low end phone of course it's cheap but I understand you can't afford a good phone

  • id say its a good phone for the deal and all those who hate it can kiss my ass . why did u buy it in the first place, sometimes i think that they didnt even buy the phone.#Haters

  • jus picked this up today, it was down to this or the lg k20 , same camera specs, but the girl at metro told me shed suggest the aristo rather than k20.. after looking at some of the k20 specs, imstarting to regret i didnt pick that one.. i have 6 days to swap t if i want..

  • Ppl are liesing about this phone hi have this phone from about February and it's going well very nice phone

  • If you keep your phone clean and not have apps that take up memory this phone is very fast and the camera is great. Keep your phone clean just like you would your computer.

  • I don't know why ppl don't like the arst 2 It's fast u can download mult. apps , sleek the google asst. is siri's compt I love it

  • Hello Old Man, I have this phone and after just a few months it has been horrible! Slow and it will not hold a charge for very long. How do you things you described in your post?

  • This phone is terrible. It glitches and the camera is slow. The Front Camera really sucks. Pay a little bit more and get a better phone, in my opinion!

  • Only had this phone for a month and a half .....it sucks it constantly freezes and glitches. The battery life only last 3 hours ,camera quality SUCKS.

  • The worst phone I have ever owned. The camera sucks. The phone is special and slow. The case is too small. Metro pcs is awful. Going back to boost.

  • Don't let the baby get a hold of it

  • I think metropcs sold me rather a very fragile phone, the aristo 2... Or a phone case that holds moisture. Ive had this phone for 3 months and its totally messed up. My 1 year old baby chewed on the phone with case for 30 seconds... With other phones it never caused a problem... However this phone was water damaged right away. Outer speaker quit working(music,ringer) I had to take the case off and dry it out. Dropped it once and the screen is now cracked up... The volume began working again after a few days..... Put the original phone case back on... 2 days later no volume again without further water damage at all.... A couple days later havent dropped it and further problems with sudden screen discoloration..... This phone is too fragile.... Ive had phones last me for years!!!!! And they went through much worse multiple times!!!!

  • I love LG phones. This is my 2nd one and both, the Aristo 1 and 2 have been amazing! I would never have believed this was a "budget" phone! Now when I see people with Iphones and $800 Samsung's, I laugh inside and think "Wow? What a Dumbass! You spent all that money and my $59 Lg is as good or better! Plus I had $741 leftover to buy a Fender Stratocaster and a new Callaway Driver!" But Seriously! I've been 100% satisfied with the Lg Aristo line of phones!

  • I love this phone!! I think its one of metro pcs best phones the camera is great battery life great screen size i looove (its big) touch sensor is good i love it happy i picked this one and i got it for free cant beat that !!

  • Never seen an LG low or mid-range with an LED notification light.

  • Just got this phone and it is surprisingly performing well. Nice display, camera, speed, feel and especially battery life...one thing that I either missed or can't figure out is the LED indicator. On my Galaxy and other phones I've experienced, when a message comes in that you haven't seen, it will usually have something blinking so you know. This phone doesn't do that. Nor does it have any indicators that my charger is hooked up to it...Anybody have the same issue or did I miss something?

  • it has facial recognition

  • I had this phone for two months. It looks fantastic with my new Androgate case on. Love it so much!

  • This seems to be a metro pcs issue. Turn off the wifi to receive images and group texts via 4G. It's annoying, but my Moto E4 has the same issue

  • I love this phone, I had this phone since April 28th, 2018, its going strong still, but the most worst error I have is when someone tries to text me a picture it doesn't download, or when some text me it doesn't work. Also, it sends seperate messages when someone is typing in a group chat.

  • Am looking a Android 8 ROM for this phone please

  • can you provide steps on how to do this rooting?

  • This phone cannot be beat for the price. No glaring issues. I've had it for a month and it is still reasonably fast with no hangups or glitches. Anyone knocking this phone is not talking about VALUE. If you have no basis for comparison, taking cost into consideration, then your review is worthless and helps nobody.

  • I hate this phone. In less than one month ive had more issues than I did with all the phones I've owned in 10 years. At this point it's minor compared to everything else but when I'm outdoors I can't see the screen. Theres no physical home button and the one on the screen is glitchy where SOMETIMES it takes me back to the home screen but most of the time it freezes the screen. To use several apps like Maps I had to go in through developer options and program it so the GPS would work. That's not something I should have to do. It also does not switch to wifi automatically. When I receive images through text they usually won't download, which is a huge issue because my bosses need to send me images constantly. As of yesterday when I went to the store because none of the apps, calling, or messaging worked they said the sim card slipped out. No one's touched it since they installed it on store. They said several people recently came in with the same issue, and that I wouldn't have any more issues. Same issue with pictures and a portion of my apps won't load. The one good is the battery. It was free when I switched and my Android of 4 years was starting to have a few glitches, the aggrivation of having to go on youtube and try and fix this thing, and running it to the store is not worth it.

  • And it costs five times less than average iPhone. Whats the point of your comparison?

  • cool phone but not a iphone tho

  • Have you tried rooting it?

  • Got this phone through Metro PCS for free. Then I rooted it (which is very easy to do for those or are into rooting and jailbreaking), disabled bloatware, overclocked it, and Installed Nova Launcher with a sick Icon Pack. The phone is now fast as heck and perfect. I unlocked it as well (after 4 months Metro allows this if you call and ask them to do it), then switched carriers. Now I pay $15 a month, have a sexy phone that is awesome and the world is nothing but rainbows and sunshine.

  • I own this phone. Very good phone for the price.. Camera, display, touch response, battry life... Everything works smooth and awsome budget phone. Love it..

  • Nope

  • no, but please do't consider this phone. It is slow AF. Just scrolling through lists makes it lag.

  • fingerprint sensor??

  • If this phone will be release in Philippines , this phone will be out of stock right away.

  • Yes it does. I own an Aristo and use this feature extensively.

  • Does this pone have USB OTG out of the box?

  • I really want this phone. LG please release it for Southeast Asia :(

  • this phone is locked for METROPCS (USA)

  • They're being such an original.

  • yep

  • Really?

  • It's $60 ? Wow!! Twice as much Specs as the Tribute 2 and the K3 for half the price.The 16Gb internal is a must.Even has 294 ppi Screen.

  • I blinked too! I got the Tribute 2 and the K3 and both are the same 8GB specs and this phone has twice as much everything and half the price ? Each ?! ..Wow! ..This phone even has the latest Android.

  • Seriously? This is an iPhone competitor? Come on, not gonna lie, but the things got power. Also, do you expect those features (and 18:9) on a $60 phone?

  • Why should you be the judge on whether the camera should be on the right or left? who are you begin with? if you think front cam should be on the right side of the phone, that is your opinion. i personally like front cam on the left. And i like where the cam is located on this phone. it is not your call to begin with anyway.

  • Hum..... Design looks lot better than before But lg made another mistake Front camera should be at right corner of the phone.

  • I wish with the Developers Q'd (Put a Landscape Keyboard Slider) this, Specs are good Mid-Low. Its similar to the Samsung Galaxy J3 2017, but doesn't have OTG, uses Exynos & Mali vs Qualcomm & Adreno, and few other things.

  • The drawback of this phone is just not yet 18:9 ratio, no fingerprint and 2.410 mAh battery, low phone at least 2.600 mAh, the fingerprint should exist on low phone because trends security scanner, but maybe this phone not too bad with 60 USD, this is answer of iPhone 8 competitor.

  • I spent 200 euro for phone whit 1,5 RAM and slower CPU, who is now almost dead, and this costs 60 great. i am scammed. I hate LG. i want refund.

  • Yeah i saw that, but even though its only for TMobile and MetroPcs, its still awesome deal for their customers.

  • Its for tmobile metro pcs :3

  • The catch is it's locked to metro pcs...

  • If it is 60$ It will be the best budget phone of all time. Please launch it in India as soon as possible.

  • If it's really 60$ this is best budget smartphone.

  • So true

  • What the hell is this??!! This phone has same specs as Samsung Galaxy J3 2017 and if it really has price as low as 60$ then this phone is the greatest you can find. Phones with price of 200$ have same specs.
