LG KF600 Review
Published on: 26 March, 2008 by PhoneArena Team
Performance:
The very good sound quality, is one of the things that LG KF600 should be proud of. When you are listening to music, the sound is clear and the quality depends solely on the file quality. Voices are heard very loud (even extremely loud and we strongly recommend not turning the volume up to the maximum). It’s the same story at the other end of the line, but sometimes there is a light background noise.
Unfortunately, the battery life is not one of the strengths of the model. We understand that two color displays need more juice than one, but we think that a 3-hour talk time is extremely low. It is not cool, having to charge your phone in the middle of a hectic day, with multiple phone calls.
Conclusion:
For the time we used the KF600 we had the strange feeling that it’s sole purpose was to promote the InteractPad. That could be the reason for LG to choose a base, which has already passed the market tests – regular slider, which isn’t beautiful, nor ugly and at the same time has average thickness. The Pad is definitely the only element of the phone which we liked 100%. All the other features have at least one considerable drawback.
At least we know that there is future for this kind of interface. It could be used as a backbone for a very good game oriented mobile device. Moreover, with some bling-bling elements added, it could turn into a great fashion phone, successor to the Black Label series.
Overall, the KF600 is exactly what we expected – a good mid-class mobile device with intriguing navigation. If you are a fan of interesting innovations, this phone is just for you. If not, LG’s rivals offer many solutions which to fit your lifestyle and needs…
