LG GW520 Review

Performance:

We are pleased at the performance of the LG GW520. We didn’t encounter menu delays or lagging and even switching between portrait and landscape mode is almost instantaneous. Of course, how it fares as a phone is far more important. Everything was loud on our end, but a bit dull and surreal. People on the other end didn’t have any gripes – sound was loud and clear. We are fascinated at the loudspeaker that allows us to properly carry our conversations, although people on the other end tend to complain that sound is not loud enough for them.

The LG GW520 is equipped with a decent battery. According to the manufacturer, its 950 mAh capacity should be able to provide 5hrs of continuous talk time and keep our phone operational for no less than 480hrs (20 days) in standby.


Conclusion:

As a whole, the LG GW520 is a good cell phone that boasts fast internet connectivity, really comfy QWERTY keyboard and won´t give you a headache, no matter what you use it for. Frankly, there aren´t many cell phones in this price category that come with both touch sensitive screen and full QWERTY keyboard. If you are willing to give up on the former and for a few bucks less, you can get the Nokia E63 that is a Wi-Fi capable smartphone.
