This is a great phone, especially for the price range. My previous phone was the original LG Stylo so I was overdue for an upgrade.
I like that they moved the stylus to the bottom. And I especially like that it detects when you remove the stylus and presents you with the obvious things you might want to do with the stylus.
The screen is a nice large size for those of us that don't like to use Internet on small screens.
It has a fingerprint reader but I'm not currently using it. I started to set that up but was impatient with process. It is either tricky to set up or it is just me. First phone I've had that had one.
My previous phone used a micro sim card but this phone uses a nano sim card, so I did have to call my provider for a new nano sim card but they sent one right away with no charge. If your current phone uses a nano sim then it should be easy enough to just move from old to new phone.
The nanosim and microsd card (if you use one) are inserted into a tray in the side. You use a special tool provided to open tray. Make sure you don't lose it. I do prefer this to my old phone where these cards went near battery.
I don't believe that the battery can be replaced but that seems common now with most phones. The battery life is great. I've only been charging it every 4 days or so.
The camera takes nice photos. The wifi works great. Wifi is dual band but I've only used the 5Ghz band so far.
Since this is an Amazon edition, it is preinstalled with Amazon's various apps. If you use these apps then you will find it convenient but otherwise you might find these preloaded apps annoying. I use most of them.

A Good Amazon Ecosystem Phone Without Giving Up The Google Android Platform
The hardware is quite good for the price. With the Snapdragon and RAM, I had no problems with any of the business functions or camera. The camera is just fine at 12 mps. The only thing that might have problems would be high-intensity games, but since I do not use my phone for serious gaming, this is not a downside for me.One drawback is that the speaker sound is notably poor and distorted, you will definitely need to pair this phone with a decent Bluetooth headset for louder or better quality talk sound which erodes some of the budget category that this phone belongs to.Although the hardware is quite a value at the price, LG does not seems to keep up with the updates as they should. At the time of writing, there are plans to move to Android 10, but the in-house apps need some further work for bugs.On the other hand, the Amazon software integration is quite solid, just as good as the Moto G7. Alexa does work well with the double press of the power button. The Amazon store and buying experience is well placed within the phone, and the overlay is such that you will not have a problem using this phone.The one slight issue from the Amazon to Google data world is that there is some tradeoff issues between Alexa and Google Assistant. I wonder if it is my own incompetence at using phones, but I have a somewhat hard time consistently asking for Alexa or Google Assistant. Sometimes one triggers, sometimes the other triggers. Without disabling one of them, it really is somewhat of a coinflip on which you get.So, for some tradeoffs, this is a good phone. I would prefer that the next iteration focus on the actual functions of the phone (better sound quality) rather than more gimmicks that are only of situational use. It would be good as either a backup phone or one where you want to use Amazon as your main data partner and still use Google products well.
