LG KG810 Chocolate Phone Review
It won a few Phone of The Year awards, but the LG Chocolate phone franchise has only just begun. Its latest confectionary delight, the KG810, hopes for similar success.So is it as desirable as our Fashion Phone of the Year? Sadly this ‘Chocolate’ can’t emulate the KG800’s tantalising design but then that’s a very big ask. Lying dormant it still commands a hint of the minimalist mystery but the spell is broken by silver trim around the phone and on the lip. Unlike the slider form, there are limitations with the clamshell, the signature front LED touch keys are confined to three music player controls, and it definitely loses impact compared to its more illuminating comrade.
The phone itself is very svelte and trim, and its glossy fascia deserves a certain amount of attention and touching. But overdo it and the phone will become smeared with your mucky finger marks.
Flip it open and a rather appealing chequered keypad introduces itself. Like the KG800, it’s not touch-sensitive but nicely bevelled, and fantastic to use with the keys and navigation pad generously sized and responsive. LG likes to offer clearly defined shortcuts galore on its keypads and the KG810 is no exception. Access to contacts, messaging, favourites, camera, phone profiles and the built-in MP3 player are all but one click away.
Anyone already familiar with LG will find nothing new on the user interface and icon-driven menu, and newcomers won’t take long to master its ways. The UI is pretty intuitive and straightforward. Also, for a 220x176-pixel resolution display, it’s remarkably sharp and vibrant.
