The LG Viewty Snap GM360 is touch new destined for young people. It integrates a camera 5 megapixel camera and offers many functions related to social networks. It finds the very affordable among the operators, and it is accessible to the largest world phone.
Pare a shiny black, chrome hull on the edges, the Snap LG Viewty GM360 has an attractive appearance. End (12 mm), it is pleasant to take in hands with its rounded edges. Although it has three buttons on the front of the aircraft, most of the functions of the phone are controlled via the touch screen of 3 inches. After the first configuration wizard, you can access a screen divided into three parts. The first concerns your widgets. There are a number included as standard, such as a clock, a calendar and a music player.
The second component, called Livesquare displays recent activities, such as incoming calls and messages from your contacts. Each person may be represented by an avatar. The last component, it offers to display eight of your favorite contacts. It is a similar to the Samsung TouchWiz system function. But it is clearly less intuitive to use.
By opening the main menu, there are a multitude of other icons arranged on two screens. These are icons to Java applications for shortcuts to web sites. Further, we note that the browser is rather slow. Thus access to such services such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and Flickr. Unlike Samsung who has recently taken the step to capacitive screens with mid range as the Monte phones, LG has opted for a screen type resistive, less sensitive. Although quite sensitive to the touch screen of the Viewty Snap GM360, sometimes require support several times to validate action. This is particularly visible when you use the QWERTY keyboard on the screen.
Nevertheless, the screen, although relatively small, has a decent resolution for a phone in this price range – 400 x 240 pixels. It is light and colours impress. In portrait mode, you can enter text by using an alphanumeric keyboard, and unlike some of its rivals, the LG GM630 has also a full QWERTY keyboard in mode of landscape. Unfortunately, the absence of an accelerometer requires to press a button to display the keyboard when you change the orientation of the phone.
This telephone equipment is especially marked by the presence of a remarkable camera, with 5 million pixels and an auto-focus sensor. There is also an LED flash. Although it is not as good as a xenon flash, it promotes shooting indoors in low light conditions. The application linked to the camera offers many settings such as exposure and white balance control. Are also present a self-timer and a macro mode. You can use the camera for video, but the resolution is limited to only 320 x 240 pixels. As the rate of frames per second is relatively low, sequences with rapid movements appear jerky.
We enjoyed the Viewty Snap GM360 music player. The sound is surprisingly powerful, but a whistling sound is audible between each track. The supplied headphones are very correct. You can use your own helmet because LG has equipped its phone with a 3.5 mm standard headphone jack. It of also an FM tuner.
The big failure of the LG Viewty Snap GM360, is that it offers 3 G or Wi – Fi. Will have to go through a much more slow Edge connection for the DATA. Therefore, you can expect to spend a lot of time to wait for the loading of pages when you use the Web browser or one of the other functions such as social networks online. Another objection: the absence of a GPS function, which is surprising in that price. However, there is the Bluetooth.
Nevertheless, the quality of the appeals of the LG Viewty Snap GM360 is excellent, with listeners or without. The sound is clear and clean. On the side of autonomy, could be expected in the very good since the equipment is less. But it is disappointing, partly because the software part of the phone too greedy. Count one day of use before having to reload the device.
The LG Viewty Snap GM360 is a good device with very good functions related to social networks and an impressive call quality. It takes time to become familiar with the interface, and the absences of Wi – Fi and 3 G are regrettable.
Plus : Your impressive camera, functions social networks, good MP3 player.
Less : All not intuitive user Interface; is no Wi – Fi, 3 G and GPS.
