    LG KS360 [Review]

    Prasad Naik, Mar 26, 2009 1400 hrs IST

    Except for the design and slide out QWERTY keypad, the phone is unimpressive

    Design, full QWERTY keypad, large display

    Tiny QWERTY keys, poor touchscreen utilization, poor sunlight display visibility, no 3G, poor web browser, unimpressive battery life

Design and Construction


 


 


Since this phone is targeted at young users, the LG KS360 was definitely going to be a funky-looking phone. It's the vivid color combination of the phone that gets your attention. Our review sample came in a white and lemon green color combo, but you can also get it in black and red, black and silver, white and soft pink and titanium and bright blue. Personally I think the design is a bit childish but everyone else found it attractive.


 






 


 


On the front side, at the top above the LG logo is the call speaker. Below them is the sizeable 2.4" touchscreen display. Below the display are the navigation keys, along with two soft keys, call/end keys, clear key and a key to bring up the on screen number pad to dial the number in standby screen. All the keys seem to follow a circular theme. The front face is mostly covered by a glossy black frame that has as an affinity to fingerprints. The bottom half of the keypad is covered in matte plastic.

LG is coming up with all sorts of low priced phones which has some of the features of high end cost phones.. For instance LG Cookie is a good touch screenphone at 12,500 INR .. but lacks some features of a really good touchphone .. BTW in comparison to the price it is quite impressive

LG is following motorolas footstep of well designed phones which otherwise are not all that good.

Yes, the phone is not really great and it is neither meant for that.... However, this is an sincere attempt by LG to make a low cost funky qwerty phone to attract teenagers.... Nothing more than that.

A totally mess of a phone! LG could have rather saved on R&D spent on this model to come up with something better. Not that LG has always impressed me with all its earlier models, just that this is a total dud!
