LG announced the Secret

LG Electronics announced the global launch of its third LG Black Label Series handset, the LG Secret (KF750).

Boasting style that lasts, the LG Secret has been specifically developed to satisfy the refined tastes of trendsetters who desire a sophisticatedly designed, yet durable handset. Following the success of its predecessors, the LG Chocolate and the LG Shine, this third model from the LG Black Label Series is as feature rich as it is stylish. At just 11.8mm thick, the LG Secret is the slimmest 5 megapixel camera phone on the market.

Timeless style The LG Secret will always look as new as the day of purchase thanks to the materials used to make it. Its casing of carbon fibre, one of the strongest composite materials used for aircraft and high-performance cars, adds to the handset’s durability. Its tempered glass LCD adds sheen and strength, as well as shielding the phone’s screen, and its neon touch navigation buttons sensitively respond to commands with a luminous blue light.

Timeless memories As well as being the slimmest 5 megapixel camera phone, the LG Secret boasts the ability to take video at 120 frames per second and DivX® certified recording. Timeless moments can be edited with powerful photo and video editing features, including facial editing and SmartLight™, a feature that automatically adjusts the picture’s light settings. Users can also create their own music videos using the phone’s Movie Maker software.


Timeless entertainment The LG Secret’s outstanding entertainment features take advantage of the phone’s touch-screen - users can access five multimedia functions which include music, photos, games, documents, and the FM radio. In addition, users can simultaneously flick through photos on the screen while listening to music. Microsoft documents can be opened easily and the handset is loaded with a Google package that enables the user to surf the Internet, log into Gmail, use Google Maps and watch YouTube videos.


Timeless convenience Using Bluetooth, the LG Secret automatically synchronises with PCs without the need to use USB cables. Images can be viewed both horizontally and vertically using the phone’s auto rotating display, and the screen’s lighting adjusts to ensure that it is always clear. In addition, the phone also comes with Voice Clarity technology that guarantees perfect sound quality in every environment.

After its European launch, the LG Secret will be launched in Asia and South America, followed by the rest of the world. Please visit the LG Secret Microsite at http://secret.lgmobile.com/

LG Launches Versatile 3G HSDPA LG-KF700

LG Electronics launched its LG-KF700, a new multimedia phone that combines three input methods to create an amazingly intuitive user interface and provides instant access to features.

The LG-KF700 is the first phone to integrate three separate input methods, including a 3-inch touchscreen, alpha-numeric keypad and Shortcut Dial. Each of these input methods is assigned to the tasks at which it is most best suited, creating a user-optimized interface and making all of the phone’s functions and features instantly accessible.

The LG-KF700’s 3-inch full touchscreen provides easy access to features and widgets, an adaptive onscreen interface and a wide aspect ratio that is perfect for watching movies or browsing the internet.

The Shortcut Dial on the back of the phone quickly scrolls through six user-selected features by controlling a virtual dial on screen, eliminating the need to dig through menus. The Shortcut Dial can also be used to zoom in on web pages, scroll through e-mails or adjust volume.

The third input method on the LG-KF700 is its alpha-numeric keypad, a feature that customers asked LG to retain because of its familiarity and because it simplifies the process of making phone calls and is excellent for typing text messages.

LG KF600 Review by 3G.co.uk

LG KF600 Review by 3G.co.uk

With an avalanche of new touch-sensitive phones set to descend upon us in 2008, LG is fast becoming the most prolific of all touch-sensitive phone manufacturers. This is a bold move, because, although many of the touch-screen phones are usually lovely to look at, they can also be an absolute pig to use.

With the launch of the KF600, LG has managed to push both the envelope and hedge its bets at the same time. Like the HTC Touch Dual, for example, the LG KF600 offers the obvious multimedia and visual benefits of a full-blown touch-screen, while still providing the traditionalists (3G included) with a mechanised slide-out keypad for inputting phone numbers and texts.

However, even accounting for the mechanised keypad, this is still very much a touch-sensitive phone at heart. For example, there are no mechanised soft keys, so if you want to do anything other than make a phone call, you’ll have to use the touch-screen interface, so LG is under real pressure to ensure the user experience is a good one.

The InteractPad

The KF600’s touch-screen is split into two parts and only the bottom half is touch sensitive. This part of the display is called the InteractPad and actually controls the top half of the display. This is unusual as most touch-screen phones require the user to touch the part of the screen they wish to use, open or manipulate, be it a menu option, a photograph or a web page.

However, the touch-sensitive part of the KF600 works in exactly the same way as a navi-pad and soft keys on a regular mobile would, which does make you wonder why they bothered.

Surely, one of the main benefits of removing soft keys is it means you have a much larger display space so that websites, videos, photos and other multimedia render much larger. However, with the InteractPad dominating a good third of the available space, the display that’s left is no larger than on an average phone.

LG KF510 Slider Announced

LG Electronics unveiled its LG-KF510 at the 2008 Mobile World Congress. LG-KF510 is a stylish, fashionable phone catering to users’ demand for slimmer phones with unique design accents.

At just 10.9mm thick, the LG-KF510 is an extremely slim slider phone. It combines a sleek style with strength created by its metal frame and tempered glass. At the centre of its design are metal gradation paint schemes available in Stardust Dark Gray or Sunset Red.

This attractive looking phone is equally attractive to use. Its tactile and visually interactive user
interface includes captivating animation developed based on the LG’s advanced touch technology. Users will especially appreciate the quality of the LG-KF510’s multi-function camera and MP3 player.

The LG-KF510 will be available worldwide with an initial launch date in March 2008 for Latin America, to be followed by a European launch in April 2008.

LG KF600 Launches in Europe

LG Electronics announces the European launch of its LG KF600 – winner of the 2008 iF Product Design Award - a new mobile phone that is as feature-rich and easy to use as it is stylish, thanks to its unique InteractPad handset.The InteractPad replaces physical navigation keys with context-specific virtual keys that change to fit the task at hand. This new interface comes in response to the need for a simple way to navigate through the numerous features on today’s mobile phones.

The LG KF600’s InteractPad eliminates distractions with its luminous menu keys which displays the exact buttons a user needs to complete the task at hand. This is far more flexible than standard hardware features and eliminates the need to memorise exactly which key performs which function. These virtual keys are also larger and better spaced than physical keys, improving accuracy.

The InteractPad is an ideal interface for controlling multimedia features like the LG KF600’s digital audio player, camera and video camera. As its controls are not tied to physical buttons, each of these functions has a custom interface that makes it incredibly intuitive.

To make it even easier to navigate, the InteractPad is equipped with multi-sensorial feedback that provides users with audio, visual and tactile cues. When a virtual button is pressed it becomes larger and the phone vibrates slightly, whilst making a “clicking” sound. This feedback is not only designed to make these virtual buttons seem more like real ones, it also makes the phone more comfortable to use and improves accuracy.

LG KU990 Viewty 3G Phone Review

3G HSDPA Viewty Beauty

With a 5.1-megapixel camera, 3G HSDPA mobile broadband and a smart glossy finish, the LG Viewty is one of the biggest launches of the year. But can it live up to its promise?

Features

- 3G HSDPA
- 5.1-megapixel camera with auto-focus and Xenon flash
- Large LCD touch-screen operation
- Handwriting recognition
- High-speed video capture (120fps)
- Jog-wheel for zooming camera and web browser and adjusting volume during call

Like the more design-focused LG KE850 Prada, which launched earlier this year, the LG KU990 Viewty is a touch-screen handset with no keypad. However, while there are many design similarities between the two devices, the Viewty offers some significant breakthroughs in technology and usability. Let’s look at usability first, as this usually determines the ultimate appeal of a phone to the mass market.

Although they look the business, 3G.co.uk has long voiced the opinion that touch-screen phones can be difficult to use. The lack of a physical keypad means that you’re relying purely on the visuals to tell you if your intended contact with the handset has been registered. As a result, you can mis-type keys, tap a key twice, or neglect to tap anything altogether and it can prove to be an infuriating experience – especially if you are in a hurry. And who isn’t these days when they’re using their mobile?

Thankfully, the Viewty goes some way towards remedying that problem by providing a vibration response every time you touch a virtual key or command on the touch-screen. The phone vibrates very slightly to register that you’ve pressed a button.

LG’s Shine gets pretty in pink, exclusively with Orange
