LG KC780 review
Network and connections
A phone with notable technical qualities, this LG KC780. It is first of all equipped with GSM Triband system on the frequencies of 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz. This guarantees good coverage throughout the world, despite lacking UMTS support. As for Web browsing instead, you can count on a built-in modem and on the WAP browser, which together with GPRS support for data traffic, allow Internet pages to be displayed correctly. Also present are Bluetooth for exchanging files with compatible devices and the output for the USB 2.0 cable.
Design and features
LG offers a phone with great portability, thanks to its compact dimensions that make it convenient and practical. The design is vertical sliding, a so-called Slider Phone, with a weight of 119 grams and a thickness of 13.9 mm. On the front side the display stands out, a 2.4 inch LCD with 256,000 color display. Below it a directional pad and the keys for managing calls. Opening it instead reveals inside a standard numeric keypad, with large and comfortable keys to use. In the sales package you find the earphones and the USB cable.
Main features
A device compact in size, but with high potential. It is able to offer numerous interesting features, in addition to the classic standards such as appointment calendar, contact management, alarm clock and calculator. A document reader in various formats allows you to best manage E-mail attachments for example, so as to receive and send electronic mail directly from your phone. The proprietary platform does not allow particular expansions, but Java support equally allows you to install compatible utilities and applications to partly customize the device. The voice sector instead includes speakerphone, voice recorder and support for multiconference.
Entertainment and multimedia
The decidedly most important aspect of this LG KC780 is definitely the quality of the camera. It consists of the excellent Schneider-Kreuznach optics, which reaches a resolution of as much as 8 megapixels. Thanks to the Zoom and the Flash with Smart Light function, it is possible to take perfectly sharp photographs in any lighting condition. Furthermore the Face Detection function focuses attention directly on a subject's face, recognizing the right moment for the shot thanks to Smile Shot. Or again the Beauty Mode function to directly eliminate impurities and visual defects in images. In short, a phone that integrates a true digital camera in every respect. The available memory is plentiful, thanks to expandability with microSD cards up to 8 GB. In this way it is also possible to store music and videos in various formats, including DivX, to be played with the appropriate player, which also supports FM radio reception.
