The new LG GD880 Mini, which was first seen at the Mobile World Congress this year is a great example of what you can do when you put your mind to it. This phone is super small and yet has very good features. Take a closer look here with this quick review.
Modern is the keyword for this great little feature phone from LG. The touchscreen covers nearly 100% of the front of the phone. It is thin and small, but strong, with metal accents on the ribs. It is fully connected with 2G and 3G networks, along with Wi-Fi and 3G for data. The camera is dutifully equipped, and you get a radio to boot.
The first thing you notice about the LG GD880 Mini is the size, or rather, the lack of size. It is 102 millimeters tall by 47.6 millimeters wide by 10.6 millimeters thick. While many smartphones are just under a half an inch thick, this one is just .41 inches. The outer design is unique with aluminum ribbed edges for strength. This phone may be small, but it is well made.
The LG GD880 Mini is not yet a smartphone, but it is not far from it. It can keep you connected with your Facebook and other social network accounts. It can connect to Wi-Fi networks and other high speed data networks. It has the “S-Class” user interface provided by LG but no operating system such as Android or WebOS. The GD880 is a phone to be used around the world with its quad band GSM calling abilities. Other data networks that can be used with this LG phone are EDGE, GPRS, Bluetooth and 3G. There is a MicroUSB connector neatly hidden within the ribbed aluminum edge of this phone.
The beautiful part about this phone is not just the smallness and metal accents, but the screen. It is literally huge for the size of the “Mini”. It is 3.2 inches and looks very high-quality. The screen resolution is an unbelievable 480 by 854 pixels. It still uses the old TFT technology, but you will hardly notice it. This screen is coverd in glass for protection and further beauty. You can flip it on its side and the accelerometer will automatically re-position your view of the screen. The display shows a glorious 256,000 colors for extended viewing pleasure.
The camera is good quality and can take five megapixel shots. It has everything except flash. The camera is on the back of the device and can autofocus, stabilize images, detect a smile and geotag your photos. Video is included, but the exact frames per second is still a mystery. The audio section of the LG GD880 Mini consists of a stereo FM radio and a 3.5 audio headphone jack.
With the whole world wanting their phones to be smaller and do more, LG has done a great job in both areas. The Mini only weighs 99 grams. That is 3.5 ounces for you readers in the United States. Look for this phone to be released this month with a very reasonable price.
