LG GB270 review
Network and connections
A young phone offered on the market by LG, which is increasingly expanding its range of phones dedicated to a dynamic audience. The technical features are very good, with a GSM Triband receiver on 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz frequencies. The internal modem allows you to connect to the Internet to browse freely, thanks to the GPRS protocol. This way you can use the HTML browser to open pages. Bluetooth is also present for exchanging files with compatible devices. Or again the USB data cable for syncing with your home PC.
Design and features
The eye-catching fashion style, thanks to the chosen colors of shocking pink or satin black, give an unmistakable look to the GB270. It always appears up-to-date in any context, in a masculine or feminine version. The body is Candybar style, with the screen on the front part. It is a 2-inch TFT, capable of displaying up to 65,000 colors. Just below is the directional pad, minimal in the masculine version and classic in the feminine one. The keypad also differs between the two versions, while remaining a standard alphanumeric keypad. The dimensions remain compact, with 12.7 mm of thickness for a weight of 88.3 grams.
Main features
The platform this LG is equipped with is proprietary, complete and functional from every point of view. Java support also allows for good content expandability, so as to allow customization according to the user's needs. There is no shortage of phonebook, organizer, calculator, alarm clock and stopwatch. Support for predictive text proves useful in composing text, so as to better manage SMS, MMS and E-mail. You can also open attachments in the most common Office and PDF formats. Voice features, on the other hand, offer speakerphone, voice recorder and support for multi-conferencing.
Entertainment and multimedia
To prove complete in every aspect, there is a digital camera. It has VGA resolution, not comparable to higher-end devices, but still handy for taking photos when needed or recording videos. The multimedia player, on the other hand, allows you to faithfully play audio files and videos in various formats. There is also an AM/FM radio receiver, complete with RDS function. The internal memory is only 12 MB, but easily expandable via microSD cards up to 2 GB. The battery life is interesting, with autonomy of up to 450 hours in Stand-by.
