Cool Features that Make the LG Ally Unique

By Gareth Jale


The Droid still remains the king of Android powered smart phones with a physical keyboard. And even though it did not dethrone the "King", the Ally has a sub-par standard that many other mid-ranged smart phones will want to follow. Although many will see the size and weight of the Ally a bad thing, others will see that as more durability. Another quality that many user love about this device is its simplicity.

Aesthetics and ergonomics are not all that make it unique. What North American consumers might not know is that LG has been making Android smart phones for quite a while now. However, prior to the Ally, those phones were exclusive to the Asian and European markets. It's clear in the Ally that LG took their time analyzing the market to understand why it was that the Droid dominated. LG had no problem using what worked for the Droid on the Ally. But that doesn't mean that the Ally is a Droid clone, in fact, it's quite innovative. So let's examine some of the key differences. The Droid has a high-end 5-megapixel camera. LG, on the other hand, went with a more modest 3.2-megapixel camera. Where Ally has a clear win is in the use of a 600 MHz CPU compared to the 550-MHz unit used by Motorola.

While many people will see that as a bad thing, others will not complain about how LG helps keep the cost of having a smart phone to a minimum. If you plan to upgrade, then go with the Droid. Also the Ally can only use a microSD card with the size of 16 GB.

Another area where it distinguishes itself is in the vast range of accessories. LG has released a very diverse line of accessories that will help you get the best possible experience with your Ally. Not to be outdone, the third-party vendors were quick to infuse the market with their own alternatives, which in many cases are cheaper, but not necessarily of lesser quality. We think two must-have accessories for any owner are a holster and a battery. One does not have to limit themselves to just those accessories, there are many more unique accessories such as desktop holders, speakers, headsets, and many travel chargers as well. Accessories include the aesthetic and the functional.

There are several customers who would choose a simple looking phone over a flashy looking one. Some people already have superb cameras and do not need or want one on their phones. Some users also do not like using very light devices because they feel it can break or become damaged.
