LG KF300 review
Network and connections
LG is launching a mid-range product on the market, equipped with good technical features and functionality. First of all, we can say that this is a GSM Triband device, capable of working on the 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz frequencies. This ensures very good network coverage in any condition, even though UMTS support is not present. Connection to the Web is guaranteed by the internal modem, as well as by the WAP browser with data traffic management via GPRS. The KF300 is also equipped with a USB 2.0 data cable output, as well as Bluetooth for exchanging files with compatible devices.
Design and features
LG's designers wanted to focus on compactness and a clean yet appealing design. The structure has a clamshell opening, sturdy thanks to the careful choice of materials, so as to ensure adequate protection and resistance. On the front there is a display with a resolution of 128x160 pixels, which provides usage and management information without having to open the phone. It is special because it blends perfectly with the casing, appearing only when the side keys are pressed when needed. Inside, on the other hand, the main screen is revealed, a 2.2-inch TFT with a maximum display of 256,000 colors. Below is the comfortable keyboard, with large and easily identifiable keys to manage everything at its best, also thanks to 4 quick function keys right below the screen. The dimensions are absolutely acceptable for the category: 16.2 mm thick for a weight of 97 grams. Among the items in the sales package, the stereo earphones are worth mentioning.
Main features
The KF300 proves to be a phone not only with an innovative and appealing design, but also equipped with complete and practical functions despite being positioned in the mid-low market segment. Indeed, there is no shortage of the contacts phonebook, the organizer for managing tasks and appointments, alarm clock and calculator, or even the handy currency converter. For the voice sector, there is the speakerphone, the voice recorder and support for multi-conference calls. The platform is proprietary, however Java support allows you to install compatible applications to customize your device. Intuitive text writing helps with quick composition, making it easy to handle E-mails as well.
Entertainment and multimedia
To complete the description of this LG phone, we absolutely must talk about the entertainment sector. Here we find a 2 megapixel resolution camera, which allows you to take good photographs also thanks to the Zoom. The available memory is not much, only 15 MB, but it is easily expandable via microSD cards up to 2 GB. This way, it will be possible to carry your favorite music with you as well, to be played with the multimedia player. There is also an AM/FM radio receiver, so you can listen to radio broadcasts at any time. The battery does not guarantee an excessively long life, but it is still sufficient for using the device without problems, up to 200 hours in Stand-by.
