LG GW620 ReviewRed starRed starRed starRed star White star

04 February 2010  |  Avg user rating: RatingRatingRatingRatingRating  

Poor Excellent

Look and feel

A QWERTY slider with a three-inch, resistive touch-screen and a QWERTY keyboard that is ideal for small hands.

Ease of use

A good entry-level smartphone with great email functionality and an intuitive user interface.

Features

Excellent camera and messaging features, a responsive touch-screen and full QWERTY keyboard all add up to excellent value for money.

Performance

There was a bit of a lag between pushing an icon and an action occurring, and it visibly slowed down when more than one app was running. But messaging functionality was good, and the browser and web experience was excellent, particularly compared to other phones at this price point (free on a £20 a month contract).

Battery life

Battery life was above average.

LG GW620

Pros: Great email functionality, good build quality for the price, intuitive OS, easy syncing of contacts and calendars, access to Android Marketplace.
Cons: Slight delay between input and action, phone seems to slow down during RAM-intensive apps
