Cool Features That Make The LG Ally Unique
The Ally was the first Android phone to have a full QWERTY keyboard that can go head to head with the DROID. It’s clear that LG spent a great deal of time considering what worked and what didn’t with the DROID, and used that information to create the Ally. The Ally does make some trade-offs, such as the camera, in order to sell at the price point it does, but most consumers will find these acceptable. Consumers will also enjoy the vast selection of LG accessories, a lineup that is not only feature-rich, but provides a lot of opportunity for individuality.
When it comes to Android smartphones with physical keyboards, the Droid is the undisputed champion. And while the LG Ally didn’t dethrone the Droid just yet, it did show that other smartphones could make a dent in this segment. The Ally sets itself apart from the Droid by being heavier and thicker, and while your instinct might be that this is a step back, it isn’t. In fact, most users will approve of the sturdier build, which isn’t too heavy, yet makes typing for any extended period much more convenient. Another quality that many user love about this device is its simplicity. There’s a real focus here on practicality, which is refreshing in a market that seems to favor innovation at the sake of usability.
Aesthetics and ergonomics are not all that make the LG Ally unique. What North American consumers might not know is that LG has been making Android smartphones for quite a while now. These smart phones were only available to Asian and European consumers. It’s clear in the Ally that LG took their time analyzing the market to understand why it was that the Droid dominated. The good news is that pride doesn’t get in the way. When something worked, LG had no issue recreating it 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. It was choices like this that allow LG to sell the Ally for under $100 with a contract, and we think the most users aren’t going to notice a huge drop-off in camera performance. Where Ally has a clear win is in the use of a 600 MHz CPU compared to the 550-MHz unit used by Motorola. Sure, 50 MHz may not seem like much, but you’ll notice some extra pep on the Ally when using apps that really push the devices.
For memory, both have 256 MB of RAM and 512 MB of ROM, but where the DROID has a 16 GB microSD card, the LG Ally comes with a 4 GB. This is another design choice that helps LG keep costs down, and we think it’s a good trade-off because 4 GB is enough for most users. However, if you plan to upgrade, the Droid may make more sense since you’ll get it cheaper included than you’d be able to buy an upgrade after the fact. In addition, the Droid allows for 32 GB cards, while the Ally can only use up to 16 GB cards.
Another area where the LG Ally distinguishes itself is in the vast range of LG Ally accessories. LG really helped things along by pushing a diverse lineup of branded accessories in North America. 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 LG Ally owner are an LG Ally holster and a spare LG Ally 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.
