LG Vu was one of the first touch screen phones from AT&T and now almost after 3 years of its release, LG has come up with its successor phone – LG Vu Plus. The design of the LG Vu Plus GR700 is way different from its predecesor. It has a gunish metal finsh and has a slight chrome border around the display. The phone weighs 111.9g and measures 109.4 x 53.3 x 15.2mm. The LG Vu had a resistive display whereas the new LG Vu Plus has capactive touch screen display that measures 3 inches and has a display resolution of 240 x 400 pixels and supports 262k colors.
Below the display, you can find few physical buttons – send, end, and back/clear. The microSD card slot is present on the right edge of the phone and the phone lacks a 3.5mm audio headset jack. Moreover, LG does not provide headphones with this phone. The microUSB slot on the top side of the phone can be used for charging, data transfer and also for connecting headphones. At the back you will find the 3 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash along with a speaker phone.
When you slide the display, you will be able to access the 4-row QWERTY keyboard. It is rectangular in shape and there is hardly any space between the keys. Both the physical QWERTY keyboard and on-screen keyboard was found to be user-friendly. The LG Vu Plus GR700′s home screen allows you to add widgets, show contacts and shortcuts. There are four icons present on the screen - dialer, contacts, messaging and main menu. You can setup your email accounts on AOL, AIM and Gmail just by entering email id and password. You can also access social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace on this phone. The IM application allows you to go online on AIM, Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger.
The 3 megapixel autofocus camera is capable of taking decent snaps.The quality decreased to some extent when we tooks in low lighting conditions. The flash is of hardly any help in poor lighting conditions. You can record videos at 320 x 240 QVGA resolution at 14gps. The music player has got the usual features like album art and equalizer settings and what we liked about the player is that it has got three visualizations. You can play MP4 and 3GP files on this phone.
The internal memory of the phone is 50MB and you expand the external memory up to 16GB. You can connect to the web at 3G speeds of 7.2Mbps on HSDPA. There is no WLAN feature on the LG Vu Plus. The Opera Mini browser gives you the best browsing experience. The other features of the phone include Bluetooth and assisted GPS. The standard 900mAh Li-Ion battery gives a stand-by time of over 280 hours and talk time of up to 3 hours.
