LG T325
LG T325 seems to be the phone that intends to fill the gap of a low cost 3G-enabled LG phone. The device brings high speed internet to a touchscreen phone that comes pre-installed with a number of social-networking widgets and messengers (Windows Live, Yahoo). With a compact form-factor and budget price, LG T325 will try to lure the youth with its set of features. Go through our review below to know more.
T325 plays it pretty strong when it comes to its social networking and multimedia features. The 3G speeds are a great plus and offer a more enriched browsing and downloading experience. The display is pretty vibrant, though it gets difficult to make out its contents in bright sunlight. Its support for features such as push-mail and different messengers will help it stand out among the youth as well as those who need a phone for professional purposes. We are not very happy with the camera qualtiy just like other LG phones in this category. LG phones certainly lack in the quality of sensors employed in their cameras and it is evident from the images quality, which appear dark on edges and lacks the vibrant colors. Though its 900 mAh battery claims a talk-time of up to 7.9 hours and standby time of 381 hours, in case of heavy multimedia use it wouldn’t see the light of next day without a recharge.
It is a touchscreen phone with a TFT display that gives a resolution of 240×320. We have always been impressed by LG’s bright and vibrant displays and this one too does a commendable job with its 262K color-rich display. It offers fast download speeds thanks to HSDPA on this phone, which is capable of download speeds up to 3.6 Mbps. This translates to a better web browsing and downloading experience. You will not have to wait longer while watching a YouTube video or browsing through your friends gallery on Facebook. The device comes with pre-installed widgets for social networking sites which include Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Orkut, Picassa and Flickr. It supports push-mail and has Opera Mini 5 to help you browse the web. Talking about memory it has 30MB of in-built memory that allows you to store 1000 contacts and 500 messages and can be extended to 16GB with a microSD card. The 2MP camera allows you to capture images at 2x zoom with a resolution up to 1600×1200, while videos are recorded at a resolution of up to 320×240. It comes with a number of features such as color effects, continuous shot, white balance, self timer and image editing. Its mp3 player comes with a preset equalizer and you can plug-in you favorite headphones to it as it comes with a 3.5 mm audio jack. It also boards the FM radio and you can even play that at loudspeaker. It supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and you can connect it your PC with a USB. The device also comes with a Document Viewer that helps you read PDF, Word and other documents on your phone itself. It comes preloaded with Mobicomix, a comic book application and Anti-theft Mobile Tracker, in case you end up losing it somewhere. It comes preloaded with three games i.e. Mingle Mangal, Thomsons & Touch, Diamond Twister Demo, while the battery capacity is 900 mAh
The candybar phone has the overall dimensions of 102.4 x 56.4 x 11.9mm. It’s a pretty compact phone that fits comfortably in your pocket and feels light in your hand, weighing just 92.5 grams. The 7.1 cm touchscreen offers 240×320 pixel resolution with an LG logo just underneath it. Just below it lies the three standard buttons that help you to receive, end calls and return to main menu. The edges board a volume rocker, 3.5mm audio jack and a USB port, while the rear boards the 2MP camera.
LG T325 is an interesting phone for college going youth that need access to social-networking sites at touch of a button and a fast internet experience. It has well rounded features with support for push-mail, messengers, document viewer, which make it a pretty handy phone from receiving maisl to reading documents. You’ll have to shell out a little extra to get external memory to enhance your multimedia experience on this phone. In case you’re looking for a better camera quality you might take a look at Samsung Champ 3.5G. Priced at around Rs. 5500 we don’t see many reasons why you shouldn’t buy this phone.
