Review: LG Vu Plus
Camera
The camera interface on the LG Vu Plus was solid. The phone uses a touch friendly interface, and all of the options appear on screen with simple taps. You have to select your camera options quickly, as they disappear after only a couple seconds, so you have to keep tapping to get them to reappear. You can adjust image resolution, white balance and picture quality. There are even scene modes for portrait, landscape and night shots, though these didn't make much difference in my tests. Best of all, the phone has a two-stage camera button, so you can focus and then fire.
Image Gallery
The touch screen caused surprisingly few problems on the LG Vu Plus' image gallery. It was easy to flick through pictures quickly. There are also robust image editing options on the phone. All the basic editing tools are there, so you can crop and rotate your photos. You can apply filters, like an oil painting filter or an emboss filter. There are image correction tools, including auto exposure correction or automatic color fixes. The phone will use face detection in the editor to let you morph faces into funny, but not outlandish new expressions. You can also add text or stamp tiny prints on your image. There's a lot of fun potential to play with images on this phone.
From the image gallery, you can send pictures via Bluetooth or picture message, or you can upload them to the AT&T Online Locker. Of course, the online locker comes with its own fee, either monthly or a la carte.
