LG KP265
A music phone from the Korean company LG Electronics, the KP265 is an entry-level slider phone with a distinct appearance. While users may enjoy the much-hyped pre-installed music player, the KP265 itself is a basic phone offering basic standard features.
Phone Dimensions
The device is a slight 96 x 46 x 17 mm and weighs in at a mere 90 grams. The KP265 provides a reasonably attractive exterior design with a rounded body and a prominent display screen on the device's face.
Display Screen Size
A TFT, 256K colors display screen is located on the front of the phone and measures a respectable 1.77 inches. Some users may find the screen size does not compare favorably with other slider phones, however, the smaller screen size does provide the benefit of increased battery utility.
Camera Capabilities
The LG KP265 features a standard, basic 1.3 MP camera (1280x1024 pixels) that captures still photos.
Productivity Features
Bluetooth connectivity is included (v1.2 with A2DP), as well as features like T9 text prediction software, calendar software, and a voice memo feature. The LG KP265 is also bundled with a WAP 2.0/xHTML browser and MMS messaging capabilities. A paltry 5 MB internal memory is included, but the device supports memory expansion with a microSD (TransFlash) card up to 4GB for more data storage.
Audio Exclusives
Marketed primarily as a music phone, the KP265 features a 40 channel polyphonic ringtone function. Users will also find a myriad of audio options loaded with the device; including a 3.5 mm audio output jack, an FM radio, an MP3/eAAC+/WMA/WAV player, and an MPEG4/3GP player. Despite its billing as a music phone, some users have expressed frustration with low audio quality and volume settings.
Battery Specifications
The LG KP265 comes with a modest Lithium-Ion 900 mAh battery. Users can expect up to 3 hours of talk time or 300 hours of standby time on a single charge.
