4. Tracfone Airtime!

For Tracfone users, additional airtime is always great and a very practical gift idea. There are a number of different airtime card amounts, and some cards that are specifically for smartphones. Tracfone airtime cards can often be found in most retail stores such as Target or Walmart.

Some popular airtime card amounts:

• 60 Minute Regular Airtime Card
• $25 Smartphone Only Airtime Card
• 1000 Text Add-on Card
• 1 GB Data Add-on Card

5. External Battery or Solar Charger

Have you ever been away from a charger when your phone ran out of power or just want to make sure you're never stuck with a dead phone? An external battery pack is an easy and convenient way to keep your phone charged and ready no matter where you are. Acting as an additional battery that you can charge your phone or other devices from, an external battery is the perfect gift idea for anyone who spends time in the outdoors, or tends to forget to keep their phone charged.

External battery packs come in a variety of sizes and storage capacities, with most smaller than a phone and capable of charging a phone several times. The Anker Powercore Slim 10000 is one great option that is small and portable and will recharge most phones 2-3 times.

6. Gift Cards for Apps and Games

If you're not really sure what the latest game or online app the kids are playing a gift card can be a good option and let someone get what they really want. A gift card for Google Play store or Apple App store allows users to purchase apps or games. Amazon gift cards are also a great option as you can get anything from movies, apps, games, toys and more.

7. Bluetooth Headphones and Speakers

One of the best accessories for a smartphone are headphones or portable speakers and there are plenty of great options available. Here are some different options!

The Panasonic in-ear headphones have surprisingly great sound while also significantly reducing outside noises. These are small, yet powerful headphones at a great deal.

For headphones with sound and noise cancelling, consider the Bose Soundlink around ear headphones which can connect to your device wirelessly and includes a long lasting rechargeable battery.

When it comes to speakers, there are many options ranging from small and portable, to large and powerful. Adventurous music listeners will find the JBL Clip 3 perfect for attaching to a backpack or belt while on the go and it has IPX7 Waterproof rating.
 
The Anker Soundcore is a little larger, and more suited to causal gatherings indoors or out. It has 24hrs of playback time and connects to any smartphone via Bluetooth.

8. Smartwatch

Smartwatches, paired with a smartphone, allow users to answer phone calls, send texts, check notifications and more without touching their phone. Most are waterproof, for those with active lifestyles, and provide exercise, heart-rate, and sleep tracking. Some smartwatches offer just the basic activity tracking, and are also a lot less expensive.

There are many options available but here are some of the top contenders for activity tracking smartwatches:

• Garmin Vivoactive 3
• Firbit Inspire 2
• Amazon Halo

9. Extra Storage

A common issue many smartphone users have is running out of storage space. And with most of Tracfone's smartphones only featuring 16 GB internal storage, using a MicroSD card for external storage is a necessary option. External storage is great for adding music, videos, podcasts or more. Most smartphones accept at least 64 GB additional storage, but double check with your model.

The Samsung 64GB MicroSD Card is a popular option that comes with an SD card adapter and is at a great price.

10. Handsfree holder for your car

Stay safe while staying connected with a handsfree phone holder in your car! These holders allow you to follow GPS navigation or talk on the phone while keeping your hands on the wheel.

LG K31 Rebel Review (L355DL) - Tracfone Review

 Tracfone LG K31 Rebel Review (L355DL) - Android Smartphone

The LG K31 Rebel features a 5.7" touchscreen, 32 GB storage, 2 GB RAM and an Octa-core processor. It also comes with a 13 + 5 MP dual rear camera setup, and Android 10, the latest operating system at this time.

Several new LG smartphones have come to Tracfone recently, including the LG Premier Pro Plus, LG Reflect, and now the LG K31 Rebel.

The K31 is the smallest and least expensive option of the three, and the latest in the LG Rebel lineup, replacing the popular LG Rebel 4.

Let's take a look at the pro's and con's for the LG L355DL Rebel.

LG K31 Rebel Quick Facts

What We Like:
-32GB storage
-Android 10
-Octa-core processor
-Reasonable price
-Small size

What We Don't Like:
-Only 2 GB RAM

The LG K31 Rebel comes with a lot of great features in a small size, something we don't see as much of anymore as most phones stretch to the largest possible screen size. The Moto G Power, by comparison, is half an inch taller, and more than a quarter of an inch wider. which might not sound like a lot, but can make a big difference for those with smaller pockets, or smaller hands. 

The Rebel is clearly targeting consumers who want the small size of phones from a few years ago, or just need a backup device that isn't going to take up much space.

Let's take a look at the full list of features and specs to see what else K31 Rebel offers.

Tracfone LG K31 Rebel (L355DL) Features and Specs

Below are the features, followed by the technical specs.

• Android 10
• 4G LTE Coverage (Verizon)
• WiFi
• GPS
• Accelerometer
• Bluetooth 5
• Alarm Clock
• Access to over 1 Million Apps on Google Play Store
• Voicemail, Caller ID, Call Waiting
• Hearing Aid compatible
• SMS/MMS
• MIL-STD-810G compliant

LG Premier Pro Plus Technical Specs

• Size: 5.82" x 2.79" x 0.34" and 5.15 OZ
• Camera: Dual rear camera: 13 + 5 MP wide angle with front 5 MP selfie camera
• Screen: 5.7" HD+ 1560x720 display (IPS LCD)
• Processor: 2.0 Ghz Octa-core Processor (Mediatek Helio P22 MT6762)
• Memory: 2 GB
• Storage: 32 GB (additional storage via MicroSDXC card)
• Battery: 3,000 mAh (non-removable) with 11.5hrs talk time, 13 days standby

The manufacturer of the K31 Rebel is one of the largest electronics companies in the world with cell phones one of their strengths. LG has a variety of different phones ranging from budget to flagship and a number of them are compatible with the Tracfone BYOP program (such as the powerful LG G8).

Looking through the specs on the L355DL we see some nice improvements over previous LG models including the HD+ touchscreen and octa-core processor. However, some of the specs, such as the RAM, don't seem to be a significant improvement over last years models such as the Journey or Solo or Rebel 4.

Let's get into the full review to find out.

Tracfone LG K31 Rebel (L355DL) Review

Touchscreen

While most phones aim for larger and larger screens (and often without actually increasing the size of the phone by much), the K31 Rebel settles on the 5.7" IPS LCD screen. It has a resolution of 720x1560 that gives it a pixel density of 299, which is about average. Overall the screen is sharp and bright, but not quite at the level of more expensive devices with higher resolution.

The K31 Rebel has one of the smallest screen sizes currently available from Tracfone with most other phones featuring screens in the 6"-6.5" range. If a small screen and small phone are important factors in your buying decision, the Rebel is one of the only options. 

Internal Performance - RAM, Processor, and Storage

The performance on the K31 Rebel is good thanks to the 2.0 Ghz Octa-core processor but it could be better if the phone came with more than the 2 GB RAM currently available. 

Everyday use of the phone, including surfing the web, using social media apps and basic games will function well. However, more resource intensive games or apps will strain the device, and likely run into performance lag. But with the small screen size, most gamers would be looking elsewhere for a new phone.

The Rebel also has 32 GB internal storage and a MicroSDXC slot for extra storage.

Surprisingly the K31 Rebel shares the same internal specs as the LG Premier Pro Plus and the LG Reflect (with the exception that the Reflect has 3 GB RAM) even though both have much larger screens, and higher price tags. 

Camera

Dual rear cameras are becoming the norm and the K31 Rebel comes with a 13+5 MP setup for capturing the portrait style photos and ultra-wide angle. It also features Phase Detect Auto Focus (PDAF), LED flash, HDR and panorama. 

On the front the Rebel has a 5MP selfie shooter. The cameras take surprisingly nice photos for the price point this phone comes in at, and they work great for capturing a moment and sharing with friends and family on social media. 

For video, the phone has 1080p 30fps on both the front and rear cameras.

Take a look at our 8 Tips to Take Better Photos on your Smartphone.

Battery

The K31 Rebel's small size leads to a small battery that is just 3,000 mAh and has about 11 hrs talk time and 13 days on standby. This will generally last a full day with low to moderate usage.

The battery performance isn't too far off from many of LG's other smartphones, but far less than devices such as the Moto G Power which has a 5,000 mAh battery that easily lasts two or more days.

Android OS

The LG K31 comes with the new Android 10, the latest version, which has both performance and security improvements over past versions. It also has a number of new features such as gesture navigation, location privacy controls, better notification controls and the ability to create or scan QR codes for your WiFi network.

The phone also comes with LG's UX 9.1 which is a custom skin offering visual adjustments and features over the stock Android OS.

Overall Design

The design of the K31 Rebel is fairly straightforward with LG's normal button locations on the side of the phone. The Tracfone version does not have a finger print sensor while the unlocked version does appear to have a fingerprint sensor on the back. The screen has a notch in the center for the front facing camera, and the bezel on the bottom is a little larger than most devices. But the phone is small, and easily fits in the hand or pocket. 

At the bottom of the phone are the charging and 3.5mm ports. The Rebel is MIL-STD-810G compliant, meaning it is made to handle more rugged conditions. But specifics on what the K31 Rebel can handle are unclear, so we don't recommended testing the durability of the phone.

Conclusion

The LG K31 Rebel is a low-cost, smaller-sized smartphone that is designed for users who don't need, or want a bigger phone. Yet it still offers many of the same performance and features of LG's other Tracfone smartphones. 

Whether you are looking for a backup phone, or just prefer a device that is easy to hold, but still has updated features and performance, the LG K31 Rebel is a great option.

If you are looking for a little more, and are willing to spend a little more, there are a number of other great options, such as the Moto G Optimo MAXX, Moto G Power, or Samsung Galaxy A20.

LG Rebel 4 vs LG K31 Rebel

For Tracfone customers that have the LG Rebel 4, the question is, should you upgrade?

The LG K31 Rebel offers a number of great improvements over the Rebel 4, including more internal storage, better performance, updated Android OS, bigger screen (but almost the same physical size), improved cameras, and a number of other minor feature upgrades.

So should you upgrade? Well if you like the size of the Rebel 4 but the performance is slow, the K31 Rebel will make a great upgrade that is still a similar size. If you are looking for more performance or a larger screen, consider the LG Reflect, or the Moto G Power.
