LG KP202 Luxury review
Network and connections
The LG KP202 Luxury model is a GSM/GPRS Triband terminal operating at the frequencies of 900, 1800 and 1900MHz. It is a rather simple and essential cell phone that does not include any of the most significant connectivity technologies: notably absent, for example, are the USB port for connection with a personal computer, the Bluetooth module and Wi-Fi. Worth noting is the absence of UMTS connectivity.
Internet browsing is possible through the integrated modem and the WAP protocol.
This cell phone features two displays: the main one, based on TFT technology, is capable of displaying 65000 colors at a resolution of 128x160 pixels, while the second one is monochrome and is placed on the outer part of the structure in order to present the most common information to the user.
Design and features
The LG KP202 Luxury measures 87 millimeters in length, 45 millimeters in width and 19.8 millimeters in thickness when closed. The weight is around 78 grams including the 830mAh lithium-ion battery, which guarantees a battery life of up to 4 hours of talk time and up to 100 hours in standby mode.
It presents itself as a clamshell design cell phone, fairly compact and with substantially squared lines, although with rounded edges. The antenna is integrated and does not significantly affect the dimensions of the device, which remain compact.
When opened, it shows the main display in combination with a backlit keypad which is sufficiently wide and has reasonably sized keys.
Main features
The LG KP202 Luxury offers the most commonly used features, such as the ability to compose SMS and MMS. It is, however, impossible to create e-mails.
The internal memory is only 2MB and there is no provision for expansion via external cards. Despite this, it allows the storage of 500 items divided among tasks, events, contacts and notes. It is also possible to record short voice notes.
The vibrate call feature allows this device to be used even where it is not advisable to use ringtones (which, among other things, can be turned off). Interesting, although practically standard on all cell phones, is the presence of a jack for connecting a headset.
Entertainment and multimedia
As expected, the multimedia and personal entertainment sections are decidedly bare of prestigious features.
The photographic department consists of an integrated 1 Mpixel camera with 4x digital zoom. It is capable of producing photos at a maximum resolution of 640x480 pixels. There is no provision for recording any type of video. The lack of UMTS connection also prevents the use of video calls.
Also absent are the mp3 player and the integrated FM radio. Some pre-installed games are available, along with a handy programmable alarm clock and a simple calculator that can be useful in various situations.
