Lg Kg920 Mobile Phone
It consists of two parts joined by a rotating hinge. As opposed to the rotating Nikon cameras and the Nokia 3250, the lens is directly behind the keypad, instead of on the edge of the device. If you wish to take self-portraits, you can simply rotate the camera around 180 degrees. If you are a keen photographer, the rotating mechanism also allows you to take pictures from a very low angle. With the included Xenon flash, the KG920 is also great for party pictures. In our hands, the KG920 feels very solid. It's definitely not the lightest, nor the slimmest phone around. But from a digital imaging perspective, which is possibly one of the strongest features of this phone, a firm grip usually helps in taking pictures. The front panel has a rather intriguing design since the keypad is situated in the lower half of the panel. The top part doesn’t feature a navigation D-pad, but three contextual soft keys. Most of the time you would end up using only two, but there are instances where a third option appears, for example they come quite handy in the camera interface. On both sides of the soft keys you can see the green and red receiver keys. The navigation D-pad is placed on the further right side of the keypad. Considering the overall size of the phone, the buttons are quite small (number keys are 6mm x 3mm, or 0.24" x 0.12"). Thanks to the strong tactile feedback, the keypad may be acceptable if you have small fingers. The worrying part, however, is the paint on the handset - including both the body and the buttons. The pea-shaped soft keys are quite hard to press, and you might risk scratching off the paint if you use your fingernails Camera LG KG920 takes slightly more than 2 seconds for the camera application to start. The camera screen is very informative, but you can turn off all the icons if you find them distracting. The camera menu contains almost all the settings you can find on an average consumer digital camera. You can apply frames and filters if you wish. The pictures taken with it have a maximum resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels which is quite good for even A4 prints. Its functionality is further enhanced by a strobe flash, Depending on the amount of compression you choose, a 5 megapixel photo ranges from 250KB to 2MB. In terms of speed, the camera takes less than 2 seconds to focus, and about 7 seconds to resume to camera mode including saving a 2MB file. The LG KG920 has also a nice equipped video camera which shoots video at 320 x 240 pixels resolution at the whopping 30 fps. That alone makes those home videos perfectly watchable and enjoyable. The output format is the usual .3gp. Otherwise the picture quality is fine if you managed to hold the phone perfectly still during image capturing. Performance The overall performance of the handset is a letdown. Texting an excruciating chore on this mobile is found. You have to type slowly since the letters appear slowly, and you wouldn't want to pre-type your whole message only to end up with an undecipherable string of letters. One of the biggest disappointments is that there is no optical zoom. I’d advice that the 4x digital zoom is to be avoided. And if you want high quality video then look elsewhere as the only resolutions on offer here are 176 x 144 and 320 x 240. With a camera-phone, chances are you'd likely be taking snapshots most of the time. For that purpose, the shooter has to be responsive--we felt otherwise with this LG. For one, it took about 3 seconds to power up the camera and about the same amount of time to lock focus. Shutter lag was timed at approximately 1.5 seconds.
