LG GS290 - a kind of fresh look at the most popular model KP 500, also known under the name LG Cookie.



The release of this model was quite natural, considering such factors as the success of the elder brother of the KP 500, as well as the popularity of affordable but highly functional touch phones.

The third model of the famous Cookie Rulers, LG GS290. The model is a good alternative to the mobile phone LG GD510, as well as models Samsung Star and Corby. Among the features of the novelty is worth mentioning touch control, good assembly, good equipment with various communication applications, the possibility of hot-swappable memory cards, etc.

Appearance

The LG GS290 is made of plastic with a small amount of metal inserts. The color of the case is generally gray, except for the front panel - it was made black.

According to official figures, the market LG GS290 will come not only in the body of the above color ratio. The manufacturer claims that it will make the model in 10 different color options for the case.



What specifically will be the colors, will become known closer to the date of entry to the market. By the way, it has not been determined yet. The approximate frames are outlined by April-May, but the date is not exact!

We'll talk right away - the testing took placeengineering sample, and therefore at some points, both hardware and software, we will not focus attention. Thus, the main goal of the review is to acquaint the reader with the upcoming novelty as a whole, and also to pay attention to the key features of the model. Whatever it was, and already from this, in our opinion, it becomes obvious how worthy is LG GS290 alternative solutions from Samsung.

So, the assembly. In general, even at this stage of the implementation of the corps, There are no claims to it - all the elements of the body are fitted very well,gaps between them are minimal, backlash or any creaking is not traced. The only observation, during the inspection, was only to the mechanism of fastening the battery cover.



In the testing process, the lid every now and thenarbitrarily flies. And this embarrassment is repeated many times, even during the several hours of working with the phone. We hope that in the commercial sample the manufacturer will pay attention to this moment. In the rest of the same claims for the assembly we have not arisen.

The model is sitting well in the hand, however long time of usecauses slipping. Slip is not critical, however, the level of comfort of use while significantly falling! All the blame for the obvious pearlescent effect, which, although it does not leave prints on the body, is nevertheless still slippery enough.

Almost the entire front panel is allocated to the display layout, which, however, is due to the fact that it is assigned the main navigation load.

The display has a slit of internal or communication speaker. Between it and the display is a small emblem of the manufacturer.

Under the display are three function buttons. Two buttons that are arranged on the right and left, are responsible for working with calls - sending outgoing calls, receiving incoming, as well as completing the conversation or, if necessary, failing incoming.

In the center is the button for calling the quick menuaccess to applications. In this menu, the user can tailor the shortcuts of frequently used applications to his / her taste, and, if necessary, add others, or remove some of those rendered in this menu.

The entire rear panel covers battery cover. We have already mentioned the mechanism of fastening the cover,so we will not repeat ourselves. As for the lid itself, despite the fact that it is realized from a fairly soft plastic, it is quite difficult to break this element - its course during the procedure of putting on the body or performing the reverse action is very simple and requires absolutely no effort.

Under the cover of the unit is located the battery, capacitywhich 900 mAh. We will not talk about the autonomy of the work yet, however, and testing still passed the engineering model, and therefore it is unlikely that the indicators will not differ in the commercial version of the model.

Under the battery is a sim card holder. There are no other elements here.

Memory expansion slot is implemented on the left sidebar. The type of cards used in LG GS290 is unchanged - microSD. The maximum allowable size is eight gigabytes.

In addition to the memory card slot, on the left sideThere is a rocker key for adjusting the volume of the sound, and a tab-shaped connector for connecting the safety lanyard. For the sake of justice, we note that the last of these elements is located at the junction of the left side panel and the upper end.



With other elements also located on thethe top end, it is worth noting 3.5 mm jack for connecting a wired headset. Given that we are not dealing with a music phone, the presence of this kind of connector is a definite plus for the model as a whole.

On the right side panel is the connector micro-USB, designed to connect the charger cable / phone sync cable with a computer or laptop.

Just below the described element, however, also on the right lateral end there are two function keys - the lock button of the control mechanism, as well as the hot-start button of the application "Built-in camera»!

On the lower edge is a small slit of the built-in microphone.

On the back panel, besides the battery cover, there is also an eye of the built-in camera.

Functional load on this element is minimal. Since the built-in camera does not have a flash, and its matrix is ​​only two megapixels, it's easy to guess about the quality of the content.
