Compare - LG Xenon vs LG Neon
February 16, 2010 by John
LG Xenon or LG Neon? Can decide which on to buy? LG Xenon vs. LG Neon, which one is better? You have questions, we got answers. Both phones are considered full-featured text messaging phones with slide-out keyboard. The big difference is the screen - AT&T Xenon has 2.8 inch touch screen that features Tactile Feedback while Neon’s 2.4 inch screen is capable of dialing numbers via touch. Another difference you should know when comparing is that LG Xenon can run on the latest 3G network while LG Neon run on the slower EDGE only. But if you are not a heavy data user, you probably don’t notice the difference. So, what’s better? Given they are both free out of pocket today. I will choose the LG Xenon - available in Red, Blue, and Black.
