LG U8150 Review

LG U8150

The LG U8150 may lack an FM radio and GPS, but most other features expected by today’s mobile phone customers are to be found in this appealing, feature-packed phone. Data functions such as e-mail and WAP 2.0 3G access are just the tip of the iceberg. This phone also delivers a multi-functional digital imaging device that can perform everything from taking basic still photos all the way to live video calls. With so many functions served piping hot, this is a phone that will appeal to the business-minded and fun-seeker alike.

Those who like some music with their meal will be happy to know that the LG U8150 not only supports popular PC audio file formats such as MP3 and AAC file types—but can also double as a portable jukebox, thanks to its multiple playlists and loudspeaker.

The main course though is really the phone’s streaming media support. The LG U8150’s connection to the 3G network means that you have quick access to exciting, informative, and entertaining content—without necessarily storing it on your mobile phone. Users can get the latest news—or even take in a film—utilizing this phone’s high-speed data network access.

USB connectivity makes downloading your favorite media files from your PC a simple matter. With this feature, updating your playlists to suit your taste is something you can do frequently and—best of all—the LG U8150 allows users to include any type of media file in their text messages—which means the next time you achieve victory, you can send your friends a stirring anthem to let them know.

The internal screen on this phone boasts an impressive 262,000-colour display—so you’ll really want to take advantage of the phone’s imaging possibilities. In addition to different camera modes and an integrated flash device, this mobile phone’s camera lens operates using a 180-degree rotating design—a swish bit of design engineering that will make your mobile phone really stand out.

If there is one drawback to this phone, it may well be its somewhat hefty weight and imposing dimensions. However, while other camera phones may weigh in a little lighter, not many can offer the range of features offered by the LG U8150.
