    The Good: The LG Genesis has dual touch-screen displays, a generously sized QWERTY keyboard, a 5-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, and mobile hot-spot support.

    The Bad: The LG Genesis is bulky and heavy, and the bottom part of the internal display is not easily accessible.

    The Bottom Line: If you can live with its size, the LG Genesis is a great midrange Android phone for U.S. Cellular customers who want a full physical keyboard.
