LG U8200 review
Network and connections
LG U8200 is a Dual mode and Tri-band terminal, which uses all three GSM frequencies 900, 1800 and 1900 Mhz, as well as the UMTS one (WCDMA 2100). The phone is also equipped with data network connectivity of the 3G, EDGE and GPRS type, as well as a USB port and wireless technologies such as Bluetooth and IrDa. Of the two displays present, the internal one proves to be very sharp and well defined. The battery is good.
Design and features
LG U8200 features a "clamshell" design, that is with a flip opening, like many of this manufacturer's models. This is a phone with very compact dimensions. Specifically, it measures 90 mm in height, 50 mm in width and 24 mm in depth, while the weight, not exactly light, is 125 grams. Once the body is opened, a series of somewhat unusual-looking keys can be noticed, rounded and transparent. There is the central four-way navigation key as well as the standard ones. The antenna, finally, is built-in and does not affect the dimensions and handling of the device. The sales package includes a travel charger, user manual and earphones.
