LG continues its Black Label series continues with the New Chocolate. Giant display, multi-touch and split screen:
Facilities
Strengths: The focus of the huge touch screen. on a diagonal measurement of 4 inches (10.16 centimeters shown movies, photos and videos with 800 x 345 pixels). Web pages are displayed in full width, making widescreen games more fun. LG donated the display, a scratch-resistant glass layer. In terms of data transfer is the New Chocolate at the height of the times: HSDPA, WLAN, Bluetooth 2.0 – anything goes. Only the fast upload using HSUPA is not supported. The memory measures at delivery about 1 GB. Enough films have space, you can increase the BL40 up to 32 GB via microSD. Since the second half of 2009, LG is set to single connections. Therefore, there is on the phone a Micro-USB connector for charging and data cable current. Phone
Weaknesses: Tuning with Tools? It is not possible because of the proprietary operating system. Although LG is working on its own App Store, which is already available in Asia and Australia, but this year in this country is nothing more to expect in this regard. The battery appears to us with 1,000 mAh for a phone with large touch screen is too weak – a critical point, which also appeared in the arena already. Whether or not this can only show the full test series with the device. Phone
Multimedia
Strengths: The New Chocolate is highly diversified. The MP3 player brings all the important functions and is optimized with Dolby Mobile technology. Phone
Weaknesses: bad blunder, we could not discover. Nor was the 5-megapixel camera with LED light and VGA video capture is not ready for use. According to LG it was improved compared to the rather disappointing Take a photo in the arena. Whether this is noticeable is the full test can show with the series device. Phone
Handling
Strengths: Even our prototype is high in our hands and tester comes with a 128 x 51 x 11 millimeters, very long, but very lean out. The S-class surface, we already know from the arena and Viewty Smart. Again, the Home screens are designed as a cube sides. In addition, the manufacturer pimpt to the interface with new gimmicks: There were for example, sending 3-D effects in the photo gallery, copy & paste and a dual screen that divides the messages and music on the display in two surveys – one that all work the first try out quite well . Nice is also the idea of gesture shortcuts. To invoke applications, you draw a simple, defined by you, the symbol on the screen. Phone
Weaknesses: In the first test did not react more promptly the touch screen, the QWERTY keyboard was still not accurately serve. In addition, the New Chocolate needed to until she switched from portrait to landscape mode. These bugs could be in the firmware are not yet final. Surfing the Internet and zoom with multitouch contrast worked very smoothly. The glossy black casing shows sensitive: Even after brief use, she was full of fingerprints. Phone
