| LG Lucky Review |
Tracfone sells both prepaid cell phone service, and cell phones to use with their service at fairly low prices. The phones available through Tracfone are not the latest options, but have enough features to satisfy most users. For those who demand a lot from their device, consider learning about http://stephaniefulke.blogspot.com /2015/04/4g-lte-with-tracfone-byop.html">Tracfone 4G LTE service which allows you to use top of the line Android and Apple devices.
The LG Lucky is the latest in a growing selection of smartphones that Tracfone continues to deliver since their first meager offering back in 2013 (do you remember the LG Optimus Dynamic?). You can see for yourself on our http://stephaniefulke.blogspot.com /2014/07/tracfone-android-list.html">Android Tracfone List.
Phones have slowly improved over time, with several devices sporting 4" or greater screens, better processors, and more memory. The LG Lucky, while not at the top end of available phones, is a solid contender and compares similarly to the http://stephaniefulke.blogspot.com /2015/03/samsung-galaxy-stardust-s766c-for.html">Samsung Galaxy Stardust and http://stephaniefulke.blogspot.com /2014/06/lg-l34c-optimus-fuel-review.html">LG Optimus Fuel. The LG Ultimate 2 would be a good choice for those looking for a larger screen.
We can see straight away that the Lucky has a smaller, 3.8" screen. For most people, this is a big drawback. But some consumers would prefer a smaller device. Some of the other notable features include a 1.2 Ghz dual core processor, and Android 4.4.
Let's get into the full list of specs and features on the LG Lucky.

Let's get into our review of the LG Lucky to give a better idea of how the device compares to other phones.
LG Lucky L16C Review - Likes and Dislikes for the Phone
Straight away we find that the Android 4.4 KitKat is a great OS to use. It is compatible with an extremely wide variety of apps through Google Play that give the LG Lucky many additional uses. You can take a look at our http://stephaniefulke.blogspot.com /2014/12/best-apps-for-tracfone-android-users.html">List of the Best Android Apps for some ideas.The LG L16C also has a 1.2 Ghz dual core processor, and 512 MB of RAM. This is better than Tracfone's original Android offerings like the ZTE Valet, which means the Lucky will be faster, and able to handle apps better. However, modern smartphones are now running with at least 2 GB RAM, and often quad core processors. If you're planning on being a heavy user, especially with games, you may want to look for a more robust device.
While the size, at 3.8", might turn some people away, we find this is a convenient size for those who don't want to do much on their phone beyond talking and occasionally texting or checking email. If you do plan to do more than that, a 4" screen or larger is just much more convenient.
We have confirmed the Lucky comes with 4 GB of internal memory which is enough to store a variety of apps, but don't go overboard. You can use up to a 32 GB external SD card with this phone, and it even comes with a 4GB card which is great for loading some music or videos on.
The battery life on the LG Lucky isn't as great as some devices, especially the http://stephaniefulke.blogspot.com /2014/10/tracfone-moto-e-xt830c.html">Moto E, which has a very nice battery life.
The LG Lucky will use Verizon towers through Tracfone's prepaid service, so be sure to check what the service will be like in your area before buying the phone. Android phones split minutes into three separate pools of Talk, Text and Data.
The camera on the Lucky isn't very impressive, and it doesn't appear to have a front facing camera either.
Overall, the LG L16C is a versatile, average performing Android device that might be right for certain people. Starting at just $60, it is a lot easier on the budget, but you might be better off with an LG Optimus Fuel which shares many similarities, but can be found on Amazon for $30.

The http://stephaniefulke.blogspot.com /2014/10/lg-ultimate-2-l41c-tracfone.html">LG Ultimate 2 is a little ahead of the LG Lucky in performance and screen size, plus the Ultimate 2 has a nice amount of Internal Memory.
The Lucky is recommended over the http://stephaniefulke.blogspot.com /2013/10/zte-valet-review-tracfone-smartphone.html">ZTE Valet, http://stephaniefulke.blogspot.com /2013/11/lg-optimus-dynamic-review-tracfone.html">LG Optimus Dynamic, http://stephaniefulke.blogspot.com /2013/10/samsung-galaxy-centura-review-tracfone.html">Samsung Galaxy Centura and http://stephaniefulke.blogspot.com /2015/01/unimax-maxpatriot-tracfone-review.html">Unimax Max Patriot phones. These phones are all a bit too old to be very useful anymore.
We are excited to share that it appears that Tracfone may also releasing several more phones, including the devices for use on GSM networks. These devices are the LG L15G (same as the LG Lucky, but for GSM) LG L22C and LG L21G. The LG 22C and 21G are the same, but for CDMA and GSM respectively and will feature Android 5.0. No word on when these will be released, but we will keep you updated!
