Mobile Phone Reviews

LG Secret (KF750) - Following the success of its predecessors, LG Chocolate and LG Shine, the third model from the LG Black Label Series resonates a highly stylish design and enriched technological features including the slimmest 5 megapixel camera and innovative materials. The phone was developed to satisfy the refined tastes of trendsetters who desire a sophisticated design with an enduring elegance.

The name Secret symbolizes a slender and stylish handset that does not compromise benefits and convenience of smart, digital technology. The meaning of the pet name, 'LG Secret,' is to tantalize the user with the intrinsic features of the phone and engage in a continual process of exploring the inner workings of the handset that will never go out of style.

Timeless Style
LG Secret will always look new thanks to the materials incorporated into the phone. Carbon fiber, one of the strongest composite materials used in aerospace and high-performance automotives, adds to the handset's durability without compromising its sleek design. Tempered glass, adding sheen and strength, shields the front LCD with a polished simplicity and enhances the quality of multimedia experience. Neon Touch Navigation buttons sensitively respond to commands with illustrious effects in lavish blue.

Timeless Memories
Equipped with an advanced 5.0 megapixel camera built into the slimmest profile of any camera handset on the market (at 11.8mm), LG Secret boasts 120 fps video and DivX® certified playback. Timeless moments can be decorated with powerful photo and video editing features including Morphing (facial editing) and SmartLight™, that automatically adjusts the picture’s light settings. Users can also take advantage of the Movie Maker software in the handset to create their own music videos.

Timeless Entertainment
Entertainment features include Touch Media that takes advantage of the touch screen to directly access five multimedia functions in a single button – music, photos, games, documents, and FM radio. Users can simultaneously flick through photos on the screen while listening to music. Word, Excel and PowerPoint files are easy to open and the handset is loaded with a Google Package that enables the user to surf the Internet, log into Gmail, use Google Maps and watch YouTube videos. Also inside are motion games that have a gyroscope-like effect enabled by the accelerometer sensor. With a tilt or rotation of the handset, the user can throw a dart, hook a fish, or navigate a maze.

Timeless Convenience
LG Secret makes life easier with Bluetooth auto-sync that automatically synchronizes with the PC and users do not have to be hassled by tangled USB cables. The Auto Rotating Display shifts the image on the screen for viewing in any position. Simply switch your view from narrow to wide by holding the phone horizontally. The Auto Luminance Control adjusts the screen lighting according to ambient brightness which results in viewing that is always clear. The third LG Black Label Series handset even stays true to the fundamentals, with Voice Clarity technology that guarantees the user with perfect sound quality even in a noisy environment.

LG Secret KF750 begins its launch in Europe followed by launch events in Asia, South America, and on to the rest of the world.

review : LG Viewty KU990

LG,s new 5.1 megapixel camera phone, the LG Viewty. The new touchscreen phone allows viewers to enjoy a wide variety of professional-level digital camera features in a single sleek handset. LG, which led design innovation in the mobile handset arena last year, is once again driving new mobile phone trends by shifting its focus to high-tech functionality. The LG Viewty is the first example of this new direction. Equipped with professional-level digital camera features, the phone allows mobile users to enjoy their viewing experience to the fullest.

The LG Viewty is a camera phone with unparalleled functions. This handset provides quality matching or exceeding that of conventional digital cameras, said Dr. Skott Ahn, CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. With some of our earlier handsets, LG emphasized great style. Now we are focused on functionality and features as well. LG is always trying to identify unspoken customer needs and create new mobile trends.

With the LG Viewtys manual focus function, which no other camera phone provides, users can take more control over their pictures. In addition, the built-in image stabiliser helps record clearer images. Users can personalise their unique pictures by writing on them digitally using the 3.0-inch LCD screen and attached stylus; they can also use the stylus and screen for working with the LG Viewtys built-in digital editing software. And, when theyre done, pictures and video can be easily uploaded to the internet.

Borrowing from the high-end digital camera industry, ISO 800 and SmartLight technology help create bright pictures, even indoors and at night. Users are able to enjoy a wider and much more vivid display than with most phones on the market through the large full-colour touchscreen and Mobile XD engine. The handset can even recognise handwritten text input via the stylus.

The phone also records video at up to 120 frames per second, the highest frame speed ever for a handset camera. This allows users to seamlessly watch DVD-like content, even in slow motion. It also features a quick search-enabled jog wheel, which helps users quickly raise or lower the volume during calls as well as easily zoom in or out when taking photos or video.

The sleek black surface is one big touchscreen on the front, with the 5.1-megapixel camera and jog wheel on the back. And the intuitive user interface makes it easy to use right out of the box, with many controls similar to digital cameras.

The LG Viewtys highly advanced features even include the ability for users to create and edit their own video files right on the phone and then upload them direct to YouTube.com. The phone is also Google-friendly, with a fully-equipped package from the ubiquitous web portal for mobile internet users. Additionally, users can still enjoy terrific voice quality and high speed HSDPA connectivity at 3.6Mbps.
