LG BL40 New Chocolate review

October 29th, 2009 - 10:03 pm by Wajiha H.
Chocolate has done a lot for LG which wasn’t having a very nice time before Chocolate came on the scene for its rescue. LG has come up with many great devices in the years that have gone by, like the Black Label and Prada, some great cameraphones and definitely some good touchscreen devices to prove that they can actually do it. Now this new Chocolate is very different from the Chocolates that have gone before it and is a class above.
LG BL40 New Chocolate

These phones are not branded; neither is there a plan of coming up with a collection like that but nonetheless, these pieces look like a work of art, in all respects. It is pretty much affordable to the common man and is equipped with some features which are very unique to the set only.

The key features mainly are, one-off touchscreen bar design, 16M-color capacitive touchscreen , S-Class Touch UI with pinch zooming and gesture controls, Accelerometer for screen auto-rotation, 5-megapixel autofocus camera, LED flash, VGA@30fps video recording, 1.1GB of internal memory, microSD expansion (up to 32GB), Wi-Fi with DLNA, GPS receiver, Bluetooth, TV out, Standard 3.5mm audio jack, Dolby Mobile sound enhancement, Stereo FM radio with RDS, FM transmitter, Full-blown multi-tasking with a decent task manager, DivX/XviD video player, Motion-based games, Smart dialing, Office document viewer.

Of course sets like these do not come without any disadvantages and those of this set are, single-handed use not too comfortable due to the extra long form factor, Video recording output is pathetic, Piano black surface is a fingerprint nightmare, Memory card slot is under the battery cover, Web browser has no Flash support, No video streaming over Wi-Fi, etc.
And these are just the specs which can be seen by everyone; of course you can take a much better look by clicking on to the link at the bottom. This is one set which can be said to be equipped both with beauty and brains. You can check the pictures as well on the link and then decide for your selves whether buying it is a wrong decision or not.
