LG VX8300 Review - Introduction / Design


Reviewed by: Allen Tsai - Jun 02, 2006

Introduction


Starting with the VX6000, each of LG's VX-series handsets have become a popular staple in Verizon Wireless' line-up, offering a rare combination of robust multimedia and stylish design. The VX-series flagship devices have always been on the forefront of the latest mobile technology, being one of the first to include megapixel cameras, integrated MP3 players, and video streaming capabilities.

New to Verizon this summer, the LG VX8300 continues to offer advancements. Using the VX8300 music-on-demand capabilities, customers can download songs to the integrated MP3 player.

For imaging, the VX8300 features a 1.3-megapixel camera and video recorder. Coupled with EV-DO high-speed Internet access, the VX8300 lets users share photos at effortless speeds. And with the VX8300's advanced voice recognition, users can combine other features like Simultaneous GPS for new and interesting capabilities. Exclusive for Verizon Wireless, the VX8300 is the latest device in the VX-series, becoming the latest flagship device to offer a top-notch multimedia package with innovative technological advances.


Design


The first thing many consumers may notice is the similar rounded shell reminiscent of the VX8100. But unlike the toy-like blue color, the VX8300 offers a more conservative look, wrapped a more sophisticated gray color resembling the serious mobile device that it is.

LG VX8300 ClosedWhile sleek and stylish, the 91 x 48 x 25 mm VX8300 weighs 111 g, hardly razor-thin. But fans of the VX8100 will welcome the VX8300's similar layout. The front panel embeds a 65K-color external screen, capable of displaying frequently accessed information at 96 x 96 px.

Above the screen, a lens and flash to the 1.3-megapixel camera allow users to snap high-resolution printable photos at 1280 x 960 px. Positioned on the lower half, dedicated music keys give convenient access to Rewind, Play/Pause, and Forward functions when listening to tracks.

The left and right edges have handy buttons for shortcuts to frequently accessed features. Along the left, Volume Keys adjust the ring and voice volumes during standby and calls, while a Voice Commands Key records and playbacks memos doubling as the activation to the speaker-independent voice recognition system. On the right, a Camera Key lies above a microSD expansion card slot, providing removable storage for memory-intense multimedia applications such as photos, videos, and music.

A headset jack located on the top gives users private listening and handsfree access. While twin speakers on both ends of the hinge blast stereo sound for an exceptional open-air listening experience.

Flipped open the VX8300 reveals a brilliant internal screen. Ideal for watching streaming videos, the 262K-color LCD is capable of displaying clips at a large 176 x 220 px resolution. The 5-Way Keypad doubles as shortcuts for the Mobile Web, Calendar, and Verizon Wireless' 'Get It Now' and 'Get PIX & FLIX' services, conveniently surrounded by Send, Clear, Power / End, Speaker, and Left and Right Keys for additional shortcuts.

Out of the box, the LG VX8300 comes with a standard 1100 mAh Li-Ion battery, Home Charger, Quick Reference Guide, and User Manual.
