The LG Spirit is a good middle-class package: cheap, suitable performance, a stylish yet ergonomic case and a decent, high-resolution panel. There are some flaws that dampen our enthusiasm: the storage is limited, , the OS occasionally lags and we would like a better grip on the back.

Although it isn't built for multi-tasking, the Spirit is a solid 4.7in Android handset that offers good value for money.

Despite decent battery life and a surprisingly good camera, the LG Spirit doesn't do quite enough to stand out... The LG Spirit isn't a particularly memorable handset, then, but it does have a decent camera and good battery life.

With its elegant design and clever software features, the LG Spirit is a great fit for the 2015 mid-range. It's let down, though, by a botched camera, an average media player-that won't live up to recent improvements in this area-and a battery life that, although perfectly respectable, should be better. While the Spirit is a decent smartphone for those wanting a good, medium-sized Android handset, it's not as appealing as the G3 S, which is still available (although who knows for how much longer?) and won't cost you a huge amount more.
