LG GX500 Mobile Phone

Dual Sim mobile phones have not exactly been LG’s thing, but it seems confident this time with the soon-to-be-launched GX500. This is LG’s second dual-sim phone after the KS660. The handset is a looker – in the front is a 3” touchscreen display below which is the navigation button and the call keys. The black and grey combination is nothing new, but its decent nevertheless.

Like the KS660, the LG GX500 Dual Sim Mobile Phone lacks 3G connectivity. It’s a GSM-only device with support to WiFi, GPRS and EDGE. Other connectivity options are USB and Bluetooth and there’s an Opera Mini 5 web browser and an email client. This Dual Sim mobile phone carries a 3.15 megapixel camera with auto focus and video recording. The camera isn’t all that great, but the dual sim functionality keeps popping up now and then, silencing you.

The LG GX500 ships with a large 1500 mAh battery that promises 6 hours of talktime and standby time of 16 days. But being a dual sim phone, we reckon the battery would run out of charge pretty often. Music buffs can benefit from an efficient music player capable of playing eAAC+, WAV, and MP3 file formats. The device houses an internal memory of 40 MB which can be expanded to up to 16GB using microSD cards.

All seems well with the LG GX500. If priced right, it could be a run away hit, what with the dual sim functionality. The handset is expected to hit the UK markets sometime in May this year, while it could be available in Russia and Ukraine from next month onwards, according to some industry sources.
