Having already hit stores in the European market during mid-September, the LG BL40 Chocolate phone, an enigmatic successor to headline grabbing LG Shine, Secret and Chocolate, fully deserves the hype it received.

The first thing about the phone that catches your eye is that it is astonishingly sleek and with the 4 inch, 21:9 aspect ratio (unheard of in mobile phones) screen, this definitely has to be one of the most unusual cell phones we have reviewed this year.

Some specifications:

• It supports quad band GSM, dual band UMTS, Class 10 EDGE, and HSDPA.
• It has 1GB of internal memory which can be expanded thanks to the MicroSD card slot.
• It supports WI-FI, Bluetooth with A2DP support, a standard USB port for data transfer etc, Assisted GPS capabilities, and a standard 3.55mm audio jack.

Construction and Design:

The phone comes with very few hardware buttons and they do a good job of blending with the overall style of the phone. The lock or power button on the top seems a little too prominent for my liking but it is still the most used button of the phone.

The best part about the phone is its 4 inch display. It’s a real treat to experience and the touch screen is right up there among the very best as it registers even the slightest taps. The front panel consists of the earpiece, ambient and proximity light sensors and the video call camera. Since, the sensors and camera are not that noticeable, the only thing that stands out in the front is the screen.

The User Interface (UI):

LG’s S-Class User interface has already garnered a fairly decent reputation. The home screen layout’s base still lies with the Cube interface. The 3D Cube’s four faces correspond to four different home screens which is something we have come to expect from the S-Class UI. Thankfully, LG has done away with the impractical Multimedia home screen and has replaced it with a Browser. Here, quick shortcuts can be assigned, a feature most notably derived from the iPhone.

Large QWERTY:

Quite obviously, the phone has an onscreen alphanumeric keypad that can be viewed both in portrait and landscape orientation. However, the big difference with this phone compared to older similar LG phones is the size of the QWERTY keys. This makes typing so much easier and pop ups of each character appear after you tap it, again seen in the iPhone.

The email client has been overhauled. When viewing in normal orientation, it is just the same as previous versions. However, tilting it to landscape mode gives you a much more user friendly interface to work with. On the right hand side, you can read your mails while on the left, you can see the message headers.

Media capabilities:

There is not much change with regard to the music player. However, the video player has undergone a complete overhaul. It has Dolby mobile Capabilities, DivX playback capabilities and even a TV-OUT port!
Camera:

The LG BL40 sports an impressive 5 megapixel camera equipped with an LED flash and Schneider-Kreuznach lens. Its maximum photo resolution is 2560×1920 and has image stabilization, face tracking, smile detection, geo-tagging and blink detection.

Conclusion:

The LG BL40 has a stunning display and can easily be considered one of the best touch screen phones thanks to its impressive user interface. Thanks to a more customizable and refined UI, top notch video playback support and an impressive music player, this is one phone LG fans or others can’t afford to miss.

The LG Chocolate BL20 phone has several features along with sliding keyboard that is extremely handy and smooth to use. It is one of the latest additions to the brand new Chocolate series from LG which is a rare combination of brains and brawn. It has got autofocus camera with flash encased in its beautiful model. The Widget Hotkeys make great use of personalization of the phone to be accessed directly with great accessibility to usage. It has a depth of about 12.3 mm.

Some of the reportedly favored features for this model are great updates like weather, news and even personal reminders. There is the brand new Car Memo Capture usage that brings greatness in depth, handwritten notes as well as drawings as maximum ways of providing clarity. There is also a great way of providing and bringing forth information through these newly updated features in the latest Chocolate addition.

The BL20 is really impressive with its slim looks and extraordinary functions. Anyone is going to love and adore this new gadget with all the super special features. This is a stylish model to carry around with but comes with quite a hefty price for all its great characteristics. The bigger Chocolate version costs about £400 and hopefully this one would be lesser.

The new design of the phone being headed by Sienna and Savannah Miller has been featured in the Twenty8Twelve catwalk show. This was a show studded by the who’s who of fashion and some of the biggest names of the industry were present their. The visionary style and innovative design of the phone has impressed everyone.

The rising diffusion of the label has been showcased amongst some great bodies of the who’s who of fashion.

The Black Label of this exclusively beautiful model is coming out in limited editions. This is a new way of aligning great stylistics and design with great technology with the sort of beauty with brains association. The new entrant is the LG BL40 New Chocolate which is totally a shining, delicious, chocolate like body that just makes it totally appealing. There is a lot coming along with this stylish dream choice with phones akin to this model (Shine and Secret) coming to fill the windows of every mobile shop!

This phone is honestly a really good investment for the kind of technological services that it brings you. You will find lots of prototype demos from phones that are quite similar and yet they would not come nearly as near to this limited edition release precious model.  LG’s announcement has in fact made it very clear that the phone is going to hit the market across Europe from mid-September but then it would be quite the real thing to have New Chocolate edition coming to the market pre-fall for garnering all the success for huge sales records. But in any case, this phone is expected to make great marketing with all that it has to offer.

This phone comes with a rather off-beat shape that keeps its glossy plastic cover within careful touches and realms along with its silver trim. The LG Chocolate is really bold and sleek with the best of presentation that one can think of. The 4 inch wide screen comes with a ratio of 21:9 with some of the most unusual looks that a mobile phone has produced so far.
The general features of the phone include the EDGE class 10, the HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, GSM 850/900/1800/1900 Mhz coming along with it. And the Touchscreen bar which is really very essential. The dimension includes 128 x 51 x 10.9 mm.

The unit has a TFT capacity that brings about an 800 x 345 pixels resolution. It also brings about a multitouch support and a scratch resistant glass. The platform is of latest S-class UI and comes along with a one GB memory card, a microSD card as well as a 5-megapixel camera that brings the benefit of auto focus with it.

The Schneider-Kreuznach lens and the LED flash are also important aspects of the camera that bring about peace with image resolution and stabilization, features that make face detection as well as Blink notification.
The Intelligent shoot feature working with the camera and the VGA recording are all parts of the bigger picture of the camera use of this phone. There is also the Beauty and Art shot, Smile shot and such other special features that you can tune in, according to use.
