LG eXpo Review

(GW820) Score: 47.5 / 100

LG eXpo is a fair quality cellphone released in November 2009, which counts with a 3.2" screen, a 5 MP back camera and a good performance 1 GHz processing unit.

LG decided to equip this cellphone using a Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 QSD8650 chip, including a fast 1000 MHz processor with as little as 256 MB of RAM. Graphic intensive apps generally eats lots of CPU time, so this phone also also has a 128 megahertz Adreno 200 graphics processing unit to improve overall performance.

This phone is a bit thick compared to nowadays devices, with its 0.63 inches thickness. This device is 4.45" long and 2.16 inches wide, but it is only able to pack a way smaller 3.2 inches display. LG forgot about weight optimization in this 5.2 ounces phone, way heavier than other similar phones.

This device is only equipped with a 5 megapixels back camera. The camera also includes flash.

The LG eXpo includes a nice 3.2 inches display with a 800 x 480 resolution, which makes it hard to distinguish the pixels forming the display. Its display uses TFT resistive technology, but it doesn't allow multi-touch gestures.

This device counts with a mid capacity 1500 mAh Li-Polymer battery, which is not really enough for a consuming phone like this. This phone has an aproximate 408 hs stand by time and a 4 hs talk time according to LG.

The LG eXpo provides WiFi connectivity (but it can't share it with other devices acting as a router) and the fastest 3G connection type, over HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The LG eXpo works with a SIM card for GSM connection.

This device is priced 180 dollars, which is not a really offer for comparing with similar cellphones.
