LG GX500 review

Network and connections
A device with an interesting feature offered by LG. This is the GX500, a Dual SIM model that allows you to manage two phone lines simultaneously. The GX500 is first and foremost a GSM Quadband, a guarantee of optimal reception 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. Of course, Bluetooth and USB support are also present, for connecting directly to compatible devices. There is also a Wi-Fi antenna to take advantage of available networks.

Design and features
Its compact shape makes the GX500 a very handy phone that is comfortable to always carry in your pocket. The body is a single block, with a thickness of 13 mm and a weight of 118 grams. The display occupies almost the entire front side. It is a 3-inch WQVGA TFT displaying 256,000 colors. It is also equipped with Touch Screen technology, for optimal management of any function. Images are sharp and bright, with vivid colors in any lighting condition. A multifunction key helps in controlling operations.

Main features
A phone that is truly suited to every type of user, thanks to the complete features it offers. You can find the phonebook 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 in 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 at best. As for the voice side, there is a voice recorder, the ability to make multiconference calls, and speakerphone.

Entertainment and multimedia
The section dedicated to entertainment is decidedly rich, so the GX500 proves to be a useful phone even in free time. The rear camera has a resolution of 3.15 megapixels; the photos taken have good quality, capturing even small details thanks to the digital zoom. The available memory can be expanded as desired thanks to microSD cards. This way you will have plenty of space available for your favorite music and videos, to be played with the media player. There is also a receiver for AM/FM radio frequencies, to listen to radio broadcasts anywhere.
