LG KF510 review: Shinier than Shine

15 April 2008
It is quite obvious that sleek looks and youthful appeal are very high on the LG list of priorities recently. Just as we gave you the flamboyant LG KF600, LG KF510 makes us wonder how much sweeter Chocolate can get. Undoubtedly of the same bloodline...

      just got this phone it looks really flash and i love to show it off but for some reason the bluetooth decided to stop working>
      and sometimes the phone is really confusing but otherways i love it
      i have a black one but love the grey one even more!
      when i first looked at the phone i thought that it had a front veiw camera but it turned out to just be ALC sensor so i was pretty guttered about that.
      i like that the phone has a memory card slot, i dont recall the chocolate to have that so thats a foward step for lg
      for the moment im thumbs up for lg (yay me) go lg
      i love the kf510 cause i get commented on the phone and people say i hav great taste i dont know what id do without it anymore lol
      thanx for reading

          Everybody who uses this phone: I have three concerns and would all owners of KF 510 please address them. Please!

          1. Are you able to set your own, mp3, midi, .wav files as TEXT message alerts? Or are you limited to LG pre-sets.

          2. Can you attach regular, different headphones using the supplied head-set adapter? I've heard that the hands--free adapter that inserts into the phone CAN take other headphones.

          3. Is audio playback through HEADPHONES good? How does it compare to Nokia/Sony Ericsson/IPOD etc. I want to use this as an MP3 player and listen to lots of metal. Does it have good bass and stuff?

            have to say its a great phone, even if the camera can smudge details a bit, what really got to me is how it says its scratch proof and I have 5 scratches on my screen in 3 days of use!!

                    LG Viewty and ... are using Zoran (NASDAQ - ZRAN) chip for multimedia , this makes all the differance.

                        This LG phone reminds me of the LG chocolate. I hope it's not a 2nd gen LG Chocolate cuz it's the worst phone ever!!!!!!!

                          To be honest camera quality of the phone did not impressed me. i'm used to K810, K800, N73 camera quality before and this miserably fails compared to the listed phones quality wise. colors maybe good but i hate the way LG post processes it just to make it appear sharp. and i beg to disagree with this line:

                          "
                          The picture quality is commendable. Images have enough sharpness and precise colors and, overall, the KF510 camera ranks among the most capable 3 megapixel units we have seen. Noise reduction is also quite efficient, keeping noise levels at a very good level, without sacrificing almost any detail."

                          where is the detail gsmarena is talking about when it is evident that the jpeg compression smears details especially the leaves of the tree?

                              beautiful phone, but lg always make wonderful phones with a such weak hardware. I saw some videos and the touchscreen is just as weak as the lg chocolate "touch buttons", the response is a little bit too high and about the camera... well it has 3mp but froozes even in camera mode(not recording).

                                This phone is actually already for sale in Carphone Warehouse stores in the UK, £129 on pre-pay/payg in either red or dark grey colours, so don't think that there will be any further improvements to the software etc. (The handset isn't showing on the website in the payg section yet, but is showing in the sim free section, purchased one from a retail store myself last Thursday (10th April).
