LG KF510 review

Network and connections
An LG phone with basic features that aren't particularly exciting, but still of good quality for a mid-range segment. The KF510 is in fact equipped with a GSM Triband system, on frequencies of 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz. However, UMTS network support is not available. Internet connection is ensured by the internal modem and the WAP browser, with GPRS and EDGE protocols for fast data traffic. As for wireless, it does not have Wi-Fi connectivity, although it is possible to exchange files with compatible devices thanks to Bluetooth or the USB 2.0 cable.

Design and features
What stands out most in this phone is certainly its exterior look. LG designers focused heavily on the choice of materials, using tempered glass for the 262,000-color display. The structure has a sliding opening, with a very distinctive keypad: it is in fact equipped with Interactive Light Pad technology, which lights up the icons depending on use, thanks to LEDs that reveal the touch-sensitive area. The available colors are Stardust Dark Gray and Sunset Red. Also worth noting is the presence, in the purchase kit, of a stereo headset with MP3 functions.

Main features
As already mentioned, the functional aspect is not this phone's strong point. In any case, it has fairly complete basic functions, such as address book and calendar, alarm clock and currency converter, as well as integrated speakerphone and voice recorder. There is also support for multimedia messages and E-mail, so you can have your email messages directly on your phone. With the WAP connection it is also possible to download compatible programs, which can be easily installed thanks to Java support.

Entertainment and multimedia
As for entertainment, there is no shortage of a rear camera, with a very good resolution of 3 megapixels, which allows you to take quality photographs, also thanks to autofocus and Flash. It is also possible to play music or video files in many formats, thanks to the multimedia player. The standard storage space is rather limited, although it is possible to expand the memory via microSD type cards. Battery life is not very long-lasting: about 100 hours in Stand-by. However, there is a brightness sensor that automatically adjusts the screen, saving energy.
