LG Encore

“The earpiece on the handset produces some mind deafening tones that'll make it very easy to hear, however, there is some noticeable static sound in the background which is evident when it's completely silent. Additionally, our callers did sound muffled on our end, but we were still able to make out words thanks to the loud earpiece. Granted, our callers did say that our voice did sound natural in tone. But when using the speakerphone, voices were muffled sounding and muted – so it makes for a challenging experience. There's no arguing that the biggest thing going for the LG Encore is its inexpensive pricing at $49.99 – making it a lot more forgiving than the $149.99 LG Vu Plus, especially when it functions equally. Naturally, its design does exude a handset that should be priced more, but it easily stands tall amongst other similar handsets in the same boat.”
