LG Xenon Review

LG Xenon is one of the latest mobiles by LG that is going to be released soon and the world is actually waiting for that moment. It was rumored to be released around the Christmas season last year, but sadly it did not turn out to be true. Let us look into the finer aspects of this ‘new’ smart phone by LG and find out whether the mobile is actually a great set to own or it is just hype. LG Xenon is a slider based mobile which offers you a great display. It offers a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels and can support over 65K colors in it. The dimensions of the mobile are 105.5 x 53.5 x 15.8 mm and weighs only about 108 grams with the battery in it. It has a 2.8-inch display with vibration feedback and looking at all these specifications, the design of the mobile is great.

The LG Xenon also comes in with full QWERTY keyboard and offers a range of features in it. The keypads are small in size but they are perfect to type and do not cause any problems there. It includes a great mp3 player which offers great quality sound. It supports expandable memory upto16 GB which is also one of the better points of this mobile. The shared memory of the mobile is 80 MB. It has in built HSDPA which gives a speed of 3.6 Mbps. Along with this, GPS, GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth are also compatible with this mobile. The battery life of this mobile is good but does need recharging more often. The talk time of the LG Xenon lasts for 4 hours and the standby time is 264 hours which means an average battery in it. It also includes some additional features like threaded text messaging along with an option of instant messaging; high speed surfing and mobile e-mail, quad-band GSM and others.

Now speaking of the disadvantages of this mobile, the battery life could have had been made better. The touch screen also is under developed as it reflects too much and when given a touch, it is not so accurate. The headset and the data cable needs to be purchased and does not come along with this mobile. Moreover, the lack of dictionary and Wi-Fi in this mobile reduces the overall value of this mobile. Still, with all the features included in the mobile and taking note of each pros and cons of this mobile, we can still brand this mobile as a great smart phone by LG, if not the best. It has room for improvement but still can be very useful to all multimedia set lovers. The phone is built ideally for the next generation and with so many features, this set is likely to go ahead for a longer duration of time and will prove to be a successful model by LG.
