LG KE970 Shine Review
The LG KE970 Shine with the slider closed.
16 November 2007
| Avg user rating:
The LG KE970 Shine is all about the design, with a stainless steel mirrored finish. It's slim but heavy, and feels substantial and well crafted - you really feel you are handling a premium handset.
The LG KE970 Shine has a two-megapixel camera with auto-focus, a microSD card slot and a built-in MP3 music player with stereo Bluetooth.
The LG KE970 Shine unusually features a roller scroll bar, something we haven't seen in some years. It does take some getting used to, as it's easy to race past the menu option you wanted to something else entirely. Elsewhere, the user interface is agreeable and won't outfox you.
The LG KE970 Shine produces impressive enough pictures thanks to photo-meddling features. Pictures display keen detail and focus, strong colour representation and true contrast. The built-in music player delivers a steady performance.
The LG KE970 Shine offers just 180 minutes of talktime. It's not that impressive, frankly, but this is a design phone first and foremost so it shouldn't worry potential buyers too much.
Pros: The handset is meticulously constructed and feels and handles like a phone with premium status.
Cons: The Shine is high maintenance. Your considerable buffing skills will constantly be called into action to keep it grease free

High quality build quality appreciated by consumersPeople indeed do value quality construction when purchasing and mobile handsets are no exception. The quality of construction of the Shine is absolutely fabulous and is built to last. It would be great to see manufacturers not only include the very latest technology in new mobiles but also commit to using the highest quality materials. People are prepared to pay slightly more in order to have this quality in their mobiles. Even over a year since the launch of the Shine this mobile stands out from the crowd through its build quality.
