Overall Review: LG KE770 Mobile Phone
At first we had phones that could just concerning make and receive calls, and send and take release of Sasses. Then camera phones with basic manager and multimedia features. Now, we witness phones that double up as mega pixel cameras and MP3 players. But as the feature-list increased, so did the size of the device. Thus, the natural series for manufacturers was to make these goodies-rich phones chic and sleek. It was Motorola that lead the way this with its iconic RAZR. Then LG came up with its own style-function combo series — the Shine. at present, there are 2 models in this series: the high-end KE970 and the mid-end KE770. And this review is on the latter phone.
The Design
The KE770 is a fully stainless steel bodied phone. It’s sleek and stylish. The slender body and the smoothened curves make it very comfortable to hold. At 9.9mm thickness, this is one anorexic device! It’s smaller and thinner than the Moto SLVR L9. The buttons on the face are streamlined (a la the RAZR). The buttons are responsive but are prone to accidental presses once in a while. One reason is the low spacing between the buttons. A unique come up to I noticed is the change in the position of the “Call End” key: it’s now on the upper-right corner of the phone. This makes one-handed operation of the phone easier. Below the Call End key is the USB, Charging, Headset connector, followed by the volume buttons and the Camera Shutter and MP3 shortcut key. There are no buttons resting on the left side. The SIM in addition to microSD card slots are placed behind the battery. Therefore, there will be no hot-swapping cards on this one. It features a 1.77″ 256k color, 176×220-pixel resolution “extensive reflect LCD” display. This screen emulates a mirror-like form when the display is rotten it displays pictures and text with good clarity. The 2MP camera, the photo-assist light, and the self-portrait echo are on the back.
The Phone
As a mobile phone, the KE770 is quite ergonomically. The network reception is good and the call quality nice. (I encountered call-drops twice throughout the reviewing process, but otherwise it performed consistently well.) The speakerphone volume was very low during phone conversations.
The numbers displayed while dialing are large and colorful, and the phone makes humorous noises whenever you press any keys (something that you observe in most Korean phones). These sounds be reminiscent me of the good old noises that the Windows 98 themes made!
Multimedia
The phone supports MP3 and AAC++ audio formats, and 3GP and MPEG4 video formats. The phone has an MP3 player application with basic features. You can’t create customized playlists on this one. The MP3 player application can’t recognize songs kept within folders; neither does it show them on the playlist. You need to place songs directly in the MP3 folder for them to show up on the playlist. The equalizer has many presets, and they change the sound output considerably.
Since this isn’t a music phone, external music controls are absent. The sound quality through the default headphones is above average. While you can listen to an occasional song or two, it absolutely won’t substitute for a regular MP3 player. happily, the 3.5mm adapter allows you to plug in any extra headphones set. After testing it with a high-quality set, I noted a big improvement in the quality. The volume range is good, and when pumped up, can get loud enough on the earphones. The Volume control on the headset is a thoughtful addition. The phone lacks multitasking capability. The fact that you can’t minimize the MP3 player is a downer. The music doesn’t automatically resume after a phone call ends. You can play music via the speakerphone. It’s loud, but starts distorting at high volumes.
The onboard camera is 2MP (1.9 MP to be precise), which can click photos up to 1600×1200 pixels. It has a LED photo-assist light and supports video recording of up to 176×144 pixels. It also supports 2x digital zoom. Other camera tweaks include multi-shot mode, color effects, white balance control, and a self-timer.
The camera clicks decent snaps when taken in sufficient light. But in low light, the situation is altogether different. If you’re photograph an object kept at a close distance in the dark, the quality is average. But objects at a distance are pathetic excellence even with the use of night-mode and photo-assist light. The videotape recording is not smooth due to the low recording frame-rate.
Sadly, FM Radio — which has become a standard feature in almost all phones these days — is missing. Voice memo lets you obtain voice notes and also record phone conversations. Videos play fairly fine lying on the small screen, although there’s no landscape or full-screen mode.
Connectivity
The phone features Bluetooth v1.2 with A2DP support for a wire-free music experience. There’s no infrared port. The bundled USB data cable comes in useful for LG’s Mobile Sync software. With this, you can backup your phonebook, calendar, and memo items to your PC. You can use the phone as a modem to connect your PC to the Internet. And the phone’s EDGE provides for a fast web-browsing experience. The phone supports USB charging. However, you can’t operate the phone (for example, to make phone calls) when associated to the PC via the mass storage mode.
The PC to phone transfer speed is underprivileged. Even though the phone comes with USB 2.0, it took me almost 14 minutes to transfer 500 MB worth songs from the PC to the phone. And considering the fact that the phone doesn’t include hot-swap for memory cards, the overall data transfer practice isn’t pleasant at all.
The flight-mode is helpful when you want to use the device’s other features in restricted zones like airplanes, hospitals, etc.
Battery
The KE770 features an 800-mAh 3.7v lithium-ion battery. The estimated standby time is up to 200 hours and talk-time up to 2 and half hours.
In my testing period, under normal conditions, the phone lasts for approximately 1 and a half days with 30-40 minutes of total talk-time, with around 1 and a half hours of playing MP3s, plus general fiddling around the UI for the whole day. The phone also has a Power Save mode, which reduces the brightness of the screen to 40% of its maximum value to conserve the battery.
The LG KE770 phone is priced at Rs.8, 500. Overall, it’s a decent mobile phone with average features. It looks like a premium handset and gets the “Cool” tag. But when it comes to some of the features that it boasts, it falls flat on its face. My view is that it’s for people who want a slim phone — and who aren’t particularly going to use its CD features on a regular basis. If you’re looking for a compact disk all-in-one package, I recommend that you have a look at the Sony Ericsson K750i. It’s got a similar price, but you’ll contain to be game to live with its plump body.
