LG GX200 review

Network and connections
Younger brother of the GX500, this LG GX200 retains the particular feature of Dual SIM management. The network receiver is a Quadband GSM, a guarantee of optimal coverage anywhere in the world, even though it does not support UMTS networks. Internet connection is possible thanks to the internal modem, which with GPRS data traffic allows the HTML browser to display pages without problems. Bluetooth and USB support are of course present, for connecting directly to compatible devices. Unlike its older brother, it lacks a Wi-Fi antenna.

Design and features
The compact shape makes the GX200 a very handy phone that's comfortable to carry around in your pocket at all times. The body is a single block, with a thickness of 13 mm and a weight of 85 grams. The display is located on the front and is a 2-inch TFT, capable of displaying up to 65,000 colors. Just below it is a clickable directional pad, handy for managing every function, along with the function keys. The keypad is a classic alphanumeric one, with well-defined keys that are comfortable to use.

Main features
A complete and functional phone, with a price accessible to everyone. You can find the address book for contacts with advanced management, as well as the calendar for keeping track of personal appointments. The alarm clock, stopwatch and calculator are also present. Support for predictive text helps when composing messages, allowing you to quickly write both SMS and multimedia messages, as well as E-mails. The proprietary platform allows for good expandability, thanks to Java support, so you can install small utilities to customize your device to the fullest. As for voice features, there's a voice recorder, along with the ability to make multi-conference calls and use the speakerphone.

Entertainment and multimedia
A phone capable of offering good features in the entertainment department as well. The rear camera has a resolution of 1.3 megapixels; the photos taken have acceptable quality, capturing even small details thanks to the Digital Zoom. The available memory is 80 MB, expandable up to 4 GB via microSD type cards. This way you'll have plenty of space available for your favorite music and videos too, to be played with the multimedia player. There's also an AM/FM radio frequency receiver, for listening to radio broadcasts anywhere.
