The LG Optimus Chic is a candy bar styled smart phone that comes in a shiny black piano finish with a very sleek design and with the basic touch functionality buttons located underneath the screen.  This Smartphone it’s a bit on the smaller size for those of you that like the more compact designs, its dimensions are 112.5×57.9×12.9mm and it’s fairly light at 132 Grams.  Overall, this is a sharp-looking android smartphone that has a simple but sleek design to it.

The black rectangular slab feels a bit on the heavy side in the hand, and is of average size, despite that the screen is not large. A 3.2” LCD screen is modest for today’s standard, and comes at 320×480 pixels of resolution on the LG Optimus Chic. Underneath it are the four traditional Android buttons – menu, home, back and search, which seem capacitive, but are rather finicky, and require significant pressure to register a touch. It’s probably the main gripe we have with the hardware.

The LG Optimus Chic is designed with 3.2 inches TFT capacitive touchscreen that combines with strong resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. The Dimensions of phone are107 x 60.5 mm but no news about its weight currently. The phone has equipped with 3.5 mm audio jack, accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate and microSD slot card and all these specifications are also attainable via LG C105 handset.  This LG phone endows with 5MP snapper that helps you to capture some important events of your life into it and this snapper comes with both still and video images recording functionalities. In order to provide fast speed internet facilities it has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and 3G HSDPA and we know that similar options are available with LG GW370 mobile phone.

One great thing the LG Optimus Chic does not come with is the bloat-wear android applications; it only comes with all the necessary /standard applications that you’ll find on an android smart phone.  It comes with a good set of android widgets that are user-friendly. One of their widgets and ‘weather widget’ by LG is very nicely designed and comes with great features and is very popular among the android community.

LG revealed back in July that it will launch ten smartphones in a newly-coined Optimus line by year-end. For now it looks like an even mix of Android and WP7 devices will be in it, and LG will be topping it off with a dual-core smartphone, and a Honeycomb-running tablet. In the initial announcement, the Optimus line naturally started with the Optimus One, and the Optimus Chic, both of which are running Froyo.

The 3.2” capacitive touchscreen is rather basic as specs (320×480 pixels of resolution, 262 000 colors), but decent in terms of sunlight visibility, viewing angles and responsiveness. The color gamut and contrast could be wider, but at this price point, sacrifices are inevitable. The rounded design, with nice soft-touch coating front and back make the LG Optimus One a pleasure to hold. The chrome-like bezel, and the elevated plate for the two most used Android buttons in the front, add just the grain of pizzazz required to make the handset stand out in the sea of Android design mediocrity.

With Android 2.2 the Optimus One gets all the latest Google mobile services like Flash support, and these have been enhanced this time around with the addition of voice control. Voice commands can be used for searching the Internet and navigation. Voice search was fine when it understood what was being said and this issue arose with all the voice related apps.

Navigation was further complicated by the fact that it would not always be able to locate itself when in the urban canyon or indoors. However the big disappointment was surfing the Internet.

Compared with 1GHz handsets the Optimus One seemed sluggish in downloading web pages, and scrolling and zoom pinching could be problematic at times. The screen did not always recognise what was being done and the zoom would move in an unintended action. The conclusion to be drawn from this is that effective Internet reading and surfing should be done with a larger display and a more powerful processor.

As the original LG Cookie, the phone that foreshadowed the era of the budget touchscreen, proved to be quite a success, the manufacturer naturally seeks to keep this trend alive. The appearance of the LG Cookie Fresh GS290 is a proof of this. It is part of the newly-formed Cookie family. However, what place does it take among the rest of the family members is a tough question, as the Cookie Fresh takes some of the newer features found on the Cookie Plus, but sacrifices others that were initially found on the original. In short, it replaces the 3MP camera found on the first Cookie with a weaker 2MP one, and it lacks 3G, but sports a 3.5mm jack. So, in the final analysis, we can say the LG Cookie Fresh GS290 will be the handset of choice for those who enjoy listening to music while on the move, but would pay as little as possible.

The Cookie Fresh keeps the slim, matte black finish (it’s also available with pink, blue or white colour accents) that we liked on the original Cookie KP500. Despite its slender measurements, this phone fits a 76mm (3-inch), WQVGA touchscreen into its sleek frame. It retains the three buttons along the bottom of the screen that we saw on its predecessor — a call, call-end and shortcut button.

On the back, you’ll find a 2-megapixel camera. Around the edges, there are buttons to control the volume, initiate the camera mode and lock the handset. There’s also a microSD card slot, and a micro-USB port for connecting the Cookie Fresh to a PC.

The Cookie Fresh has a lower-spec camera than its predecessor, which sported a 3-megapixel snapper. It doesn’t make much difference to the quality of your photos, though. The Cookie Fresh’s 2-megapixel camera will perform ably if you’re more concerned with just capturing the moment than getting top-quality images, and it also features a camcorder mode. There’s no flash, but we weren’t expecting one at this price.

You’ve got six colour options for the rest of the edging – black, red, blue, pink, light green and silver. Our review sample was the rather dull black, but the others all add a strip of brightness to what is otherwise a bog-standard design. The Cookie Fresh GS290 is small and light at 108mm tall, 52.9mm wide and 12.5mm thick and it weighs, according to our scales, a mere 92g. So it is very light for the bag, small for the pocket, and neat in the hand.

The LG KM555e is a mid range handset, and seems to be aimed at the budget conscious user. The LG KM555e delivers with a large, 3.0 inch TFT touchscreen, with a pixel resolution of 240 x 400, supporting up to 356,000 colours. It is interesting to note the increase in touchscreen devices during 2009, and as more and more devices come to market with touchscreens, the cost of the technology will get even lower. Early touchscreen devices suffered with the quality of the displays doing little to credit the manufacturers, but in recent months touchscreen technology has improved immensely, with touch devices now available from all the leading manufacturers of mobile devices.

The 3” resistive touch screen dominates the front face of the device. There are 3 buttons along the bottom of the screen. They neither are physical buttons nor are they capacitive buttons. They appear to be an extension of the resistive touch screen, so they do require pressure to be applied. The buttons are for call, end, and one that brings up a task manager/favorites popup.
On the side there’s a volume rocker and a flap that covers the microUSB slot for charging. On the other side, there’s a camera button and a button that takes you do the media player. On the back is a 3MP fixed focus camera with no flash. Nothing on the bottom other than the mic. On top, there’s the power/standby button and a 3.5mm audio jack (a very welcomed addition).
LG includes a stylus, but there’s no way to store it in the device nor is there a way to dangle it externally. This is an odd decision. Does LG want you to carry it around in your pocket where it’s bound to get lost? Luckily, you won’t be needing the stylus much unless you use Asian text recognition.

The LG KM555e has a proprietary connector for headphones, but thanks to the inclusion of Bluetooth 2.1, you can also listen to music in stereo with a suitable wireless headset. Bluetooth 2.1 also makes it easier to connect to other compatible Bluetooth devices, as it improves the connection process to enable fast and simple connectivity for file sharing and general data transfer. For those moments when you want to be able to catch up with live music or news from your local radio station, the KM555e also brings a stereo FM radio, with RDS support, which allows certain pieces of information to be broadcast along the FM transmission, such as channel name, time updates and basic programme information.

Messaging elements on the handset are well covered; as well as the expected SMS and MMS picture messaging, the KM555e also has a built in email client with multi account support, which also offers the option to poll automatically for email and have it delivered directly to the phone.

The LG 55LE9500 is a 55 inch LED TV that supports Full HD 1080p output in its form factor. With a thickness of 8.5 mm, the Full LED Slim technology HDTV (via its backlight structure) supports Local Dimming, TruMotion 480Hz, THX Display Certification, comes with NetCast Entertainment Access, DLNA, wireless broadband ready capabilities, wireless HD ready and 2 USB ports. It also has 3D capability, and comes with the Magic Wand remote control.

Once connected, users have a variety of options to choose from, further expanded by NetCast, a service that opens up usage of programs such as Skype, Youtube, and Netflix directly on the television. The wireless connection can also be used in conjunction with Blu-Ray players, cable or satellite receivers, or video game systems to provide a connection without the mess of multiple input wires attached to the television. Energy saving options are also included with a sensor that automatically detects its environment and adjusts brightness, contrast, and color levels accordingly to lower power consumption maintain consistent picture quality. The LE9500 also includes a unique remote system that has more in common with motion sensor peripherals than a standard remote: it has the traditional functionality expected from a remote control as well as motion sensitive options, gestures, and features streamlined buttons.

The 55″ 1080p panel sports 480Hz picture processing with LG’s built in picture wizard technology to help you get the best possible picture out of your television and at less than 1″ deep it will look great on your wall. Wireless HD capability will get rid of that mass of cables while wireless networking allows access to LG NetCast feature bringing Netflix, Skype, Napster, Youtube and more directly to your TV screen. 2 USB ports allow for even more video and picture sources to be brought into play. Clear Voice II enhances the sound while AV Mode II allows custom settings for various media types such as sports, movies and video games.

This extremely sleek TV is trendy and is all about the new age mantra of getting slimmer. It measures only 8.5 mm or 1.33 inches width, which makes it the thinnest bezel so far, and stands on a chic swivel with mirror finish. Adding to the oomph, you have got the metallic look that makes it a future TV to suit the modern interior décor of your Hall.

Loaded with the latest technology, LG Infinia 5LE9500 brings TruMotion 480Hz refresh rate. Also there is the motion-estimation motion compensation process and scanning backlight to make the viewing experience better in any lighting conditions and any type action sequences.
