LG KE970 Shine review

Network and connections

LG KE970 Shine is a Tri-band GSM cell phone, operating on the three most common frequencies: 900, 1800 and 1900 Mhz. In this way it guarantees good network coverage worldwide. It is equipped with EDGE and GPRS technologies for data transfer but it obviously does not reach the performance of 3G. Wireless Bluetooth connection is integrated, essential for the use of wireless accessories and fast file exchange. The display is good, as is the battery.

Design and features

LG KE970 certainly has an innovative and eye-catching design, with a slide-up opening and integrated antenna. This model is part of the "Shine" family, that is the "shiny" ones, elegantly metallized. The device is particularly thin, in enameled aluminum, with a large display that acts as a mirror when the terminal is in standby. LG KE970 is effectively ergonomic and makes navigation comfortable even without opening the phone, allowing for easy management of the different functions and menus thanks to a "wheel" placed below the screen. The keypad, finally, is backlit in blue, with engraved buttons.

Main features

LG KE970 Shine has an integrated hands-free, which allows you to talk while keeping your hands free, as well as a voice recorder. It allows the management of Sms, Ems, Mms and E-mail messaging, with a simplified text entry system. All the most common features can also be used: alarm clock, organizer, address book, calculator, calendar. The available memory is 50 MB and is expandable with MicroSD memory cards.

Entertainment and multimedia

LG KE970 integrates a music player capable of playing files in MP3, AAC, AAC+ formats, as well as 3GP and MP4 video movies. Furthermore, LG KE970 has excellent stereo speakers that allow you to best appreciate the available multimedia potential. There are also several games already included, which can be supplemented by others that can be downloaded, thanks to the WAP browser and Java (J2ME) compatibility. This model has a 2 megapixel digital camera, which allows you to obtain excellent results, also thanks to the built-in flash, digital zoom, self-timer and image editor. The maximum resolution achievable is 1600x1200 pixels. Video recording functionality is also provided.
