LG Nitro HD hands-on

The LG Nitro HD has landed, bringing LG up to par with some of its competitive rivals – namely Samsung and HTC. Actually, it’s the third 4G LTE smartphone for AT&T’s camp, but in its quest to differentiate itself from the existing crop, it’s packing a 720p display to meet the competition head on. The LG Nitro HD looks exactly like the LG Optimus LTE, which isn’t a bad thing per se, but doesn’t jump out at us as something killer looking – like what we find with the Motorola DROID RAZR’s solid design. Rather, its all-plastic body makes it impressively light weight, and possibly feels lighter than the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket in the hand. In the rear, it features a patterned design, but seeing that it has a slick plastic feel to it, the entire thing feels rather slippery.

Staring straight at us, its 4.5” 720p (720 x 1280) LCD display looks mightily sharp, and even better, its wide viewing angles allow it to maintain its clarity at all angles. Looking at it from a good distance away, it’s almost hard to distinguish how superior it is in detail with its 329 ppi pixel density – so yeah, it’s sharp looking and definitely stands out. In terms of color reproduction, we dig the punchy colors it’s able to dish up, which ultimately goes a long way in highlighting its visual flare.
