Hi-Tech LG U830 3G Phone
December 11, 2006 | Cellular Phone, Gadgets, LG | 2 Comments
The LG U830 is a completely different proposition, because the technology is probably even more interesting than the looks. It’s not just a 3G phone, the LG U830 is an HSDPA device – this means that it has access to 3′s 3.5G data network (where available). There’s a whopping 180Mb of internal memory (although it doesn’t seem to be expandable), a 2 megapixel main camera with a subcamera for video calling, a large 2.2″ 240×320 pixel display, a multimedia player and stereo Bluetooth. There’s an email client and web browser too.
The LG U830 is a smooth looking 3G clamshell with touch-sensitive media controls on the outside (mouseover the image below to see them), and an unfussy and sensible design inside. At just 14.8mm thick and only 93 grams in weight, the U830 is very compact for a 3G phone too.
LG U830 specification:
Network: GSM + UMTS 2100
Data: GPRS + UMTS (3G) + HSDPA
Screen: 240×320 pixels
Camera: 2 megapixels (main)
Size: Medium clamshell 98x48x15mm / 93 grams
Bluetooth: Yes
Memory card: No
Infra-red: No
Polyphonic: Yes
Java: Yes
Battery life: 3.2 hours talk / 14 days standby
You can connect the LG U830 to a PC via a USB cable or Bluetooth to transfer multimedia files, or you can download them from the 3Music store.
Talktime is up to 3.2 hours on 3G, and it has almost 14 days standby time. which is pretty good. Overall the LG U830 measures 98 x 48 x 14.8mm and it comes in under the magic 100 grams weight for a 3G phone at 93 grams.
Overall, the LG U830 is a good looking handset that comes with a very promising looking feature set. Although the design it certainly not as iconic as the original Chocolate, it is still probably one of the best looking 3G clamshells on the market.
