The Design That Makes LG Chocolate Black Stand Out

Finding a niche in a world of absolute stiff competition is one of the challenges of mobile phone manufacturers. Others bank on their phone’s functionality or their Internet connectivity. LG Electronics, however, invested on the overall design of LG Chocolate Black.

The small phone from LG is considered to be the newest trademark for luxury and style. It exudes minimalism, which is further enhanced by its sleek, hidden touch pad, and a hint of red glow that complements very well on its classic black texture. Because it looks ultracool, innovative, and sophisticated, it was recently recognized in IF Design Award in 2006, which was held in Germany.

A careful look at LG Chocolate Black and you’ll know that it’s a phone that dares to be different. For one, it has an amazing screen display, which allows you to look at colored pictures sharply and clearly, as well as read text messages without much scrolling. Its touch pads are sensitive to heat and exude a red glow once activated or pressed gently. A teeny-weeny downside is that it is prone to fingerprints and smudges. It may be attributed to its very shiny finish.

LG Chocolate Black is also a sliding phone, which adds more to its mystery. Sliding it open, you will be surprisingly treated to a 1.3 megapixel camera with flash and autofocus capabilities, along with a keypad.
There are a total of nine touch-sensitive buttons. Two, found beneath the screen, can be customized as shortcut keys for calling or cancellation of phone calls. There are also four directional buttons, as well as a button for selection. Left and right navigation buttons can also be customized for audio and video playback.

Aside from the camera, its overall design also features a video recorder and a highly functional music player which supports both AAC and MP3 formats. It has only 128MB for its internal memory, and you cannot use external memory cards as there are no expansion slots. Nevertheless, the phone basically supports both USB and Bluetooth connections, which allows you to easily upload media files like videos and photos before you use up all the remaining memory space.

The name “Chocolate” further adds to the fashion appeal of the phone. It basically summarizes what it is when you look at it. Aside from it works for a very effective memory recall, the black overtones and rectangular shape make it look like a well-deserved treat for travelers, businesspeople, and fashion-conscious users.
