 LG G3100 is announced in 2003
Design
Having gained fresh wind in its sails over the course of the past year or so, LG has certainly made its mark on phone sale hit lists recently, the LG G3100 is a very slender and compact handset at 107 x 43 x 22 mm and 85 grams. The 4096-color display is dim, not very bright and crisp, but is a far step above the very dim 256-color versions on even the most recent LG models.The display resolution 95 x 64 pixel is not very high but is normal for low class phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker.
Lacking LEDs of any kind, however, the display - combined with vibration and audible alerts - is the G3100's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all LG handsets, requiring users to inconveniently have to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting rather than just glance at it.
Ergonomics
The G3100 lies well in ones hand.A numerical keypad placed below offers appropriately-spaced keys and are pleasantly comfortable in use.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent LG handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.Unfortunately, the keypad of the LG G3100 emits excess noise, but on the bright side its keys have been comfortably spaced and sized. We're not entirely happy with the design of the navigational pad and its adjacent buttons, however, as distinguishing between these less easy than it ought to be.And last,but not least, a simple two-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the LG G3100 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS (class 100), SMS, and a range of applications such as 16-channels polyphony, a voice recorder, FAX/Modem, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the G3100 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 760 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 4.5 hours talk time or 250 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 114 minutes.
Availability
The LG G3100 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
LG's G3100 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from LG. A new compact design and a reduced sized battery - which avoids rendering a negative impact on battery life - ensures a thin and light phone which is ergonomically comfortable. |
