Posted on March 21st, 2011 by mphonenews.com in LG, News, Reviews, Uncategorized
The model is piece with a touch screen and no hardware keyboard. There is a nice simple design and is compact enough to be worn without a problem in every pocket. Its dimensions are 108.9 x 53.4 x 12.95 mm., Weighs 120 gr. The hull is made of different types of plastic, glossy surface on the front panel gets dirty easily, while the rear panel with matte finish Soft touch. The model is presented in two color options – black and red.
Below the display are three buttons with a matte finish – to receive a call, refusing to call and “Back” button. Have appreciable amplitude of movement and are comfortable enough. No backlight in the dark will have to orient yourself apart from the button.
In the upper left corner has an ear for attaching the link. Below left is MicroUSB-port, which serves to include a sync cable and charger. Below it is a slot for chip cards microSD, and both are covered with plastic caps. Supports replacement of the additional memory without turning off the phone, the camera has 15 MB internal memory and supports cards up to 4 GB. Right you will see double button volume adjustment and a small button to lock touch screen. The device has no 3.5-millimeter headphone output or a separate button for the camera. On the back is the camera lens back cover fits snugly and easily removed and replaced.
Display
The display is TFT with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels (2.8 inches diagonal), playing to 262,000 colors. The image quality is decent, but the viewing angle – wide. There are 6 degrees of brightness on the display that are available in the settings. The sunlight fades and the display remains visible only to a maximum level of brightness. Set to touch screen commands can be recorded with vibration (three types) or sound (three types). Reported better touch screen, interface icons are large and comfortable.
Battery
The battery is lithium-polymer with a capacity of 1500 mAh. Manufacturers guarantee up to 400 hours standby and 9 hours in talk mode. In real terms the unit worked about 3 days at 30-40 minutes a day talking and sporadic use of the camera and internet browser. For Dual-SIM phone with two radio module is quite good result.
Camera
The camera is 2 megapixel fixed focus. The interface is intuitive and simple, the resulting images are of mediocre quality.
Camera settings are as follows:
* Picture size – 1600 x 1200 1280 x 960, 640 x 480 320 x 240 pixels.
* Effects – Bldck & White, Sepia, Negative.
* White Balance – Auto, Incandescent, Fluorescent, Daylight, Cloudy.
* Series – a series of 3, 6 or 9 shots.
* Timer – 3, 5 or 10 seconds.
* Quality – excellent, good, normal.
* Video – 176 x 144 pixels, support effects and other settings.
Connection quality is good. The power of the speaker and microphone sensitivity are enough to speak normally in different conditions. Ringing volume is above average, less likely to miss a call even in noisy places. Vibration also has sufficient power.
Undoubted plus the camera is good battery life in the presence of two GSM-module. Compared with LG GX500 new model features a higher operating speed and simple interface and advanced functionality. Work with two SIM-cards is perfectly realized. The price of the phone is around 180 euros and can be called reasonable. Disadvantages of the model are the lack of 3.5-millimeter headphone output, poor camera and mediocre display.
