LG KS20 review
Network and connections
An LG Smartphone born to amaze and guarantee great portability. That's why the KS20 is equipped with GSM Triband network support, which allows optimal signal reception in every condition. Moreover, the Dual Mode functionality integrates UMTS connectivity. The possibility of browsing the Web is not lacking, thanks to the integrated modem and HSDPA technology, for fast data transfer. Bluetooth, on the other hand, is handy for exchanging files with compatible devices, or again the USB 2.0 cable for syncing with the home PC. Finally, to complete its Business attitude, the KS20 integrates support for distributed Wi-Fi networks.
Design and equipment
The essential and clean lines give this Smartphone an almost delicate feel. However, it proves solid and comfortable to hold, with rounded edges finished with care. The front side is almost entirely occupied by the large 2.8-inch TFT screen, with 256 thousand color Touch Screen technology. A handy joystick helps instead with menu navigation. The weight is really contained, only 95 grams, as is the thickness of 12.8 mm. The purchase kit includes a practical protective case, in addition to the earphones.
Main features
The KS20 is equipped with the Windows Mobile 6 Professional platform, which guarantees great customization with compatible applications. The feature package is very extensive, from voice support such as speakerphone, voice recorder and multiconference with video calling, up to E-mail management. The Office package allows you to view documents and PDF files without problems, and even project images directly onto an external screen, thanks to the TV Out output. Work and personal commitments are always under control, thanks to synchronized agenda and calendar.
Entertainment and multimedia
LG designers have equipped this device with great multimedia qualities. A 2 megapixel rear camera delivers sharp images in every condition, thanks to Zoom up to 2X and integrated Flash. On the 128 MB internal memory it is possible to store large quantities of photos and videos; and if the space were not enough, a microSD card allows the memory to be expanded as desired. Moreover, your favorite music is always in your pocket thanks to the KS20, to be played at any time with the multimedia player which supports various formats. Compatibility with DivX videos is interesting, for watching movies while traveling. All of this is guaranteed by a 1050 mAh battery, with battery life of up to 100 hours in Stand-by.
