About This Brand
LG's lineup ranges from basic models to those with full QWERTY keyboards and large touch-sensitive screens that adroitly integrate solid phone features and robust multimedia, including live TV service and messaging applications. The LG Prada, which debuted in Europe in 2006, holds the title of the phone with the world’s first complete touch-screen interface. The company was also among the first to add QWERTY keyboards to conventional cell phones. Some notable phones include the LG Thrill 4G, one of the first phones to capture 3D photos and video, and the LG Revolution with a brilliant 4.3 inch display.

Case style Indicates the phone design: folding, rectangular, sliding, swivel, or a combination. Case style	Rectangular
Camera (megapixels) Specifies, in megapixels, the maximum resolution of the built-in camera. A camera with a 0.3 megapixel value is also referred to as VGA. Camera (megapixels)	8
Memory card Many phones have slots that accept memory cards, typically microSD, to expand storage capacity by as much as 32GB. The removable cards can also serve as an easy way to shuttle files between your phone and other devices--provided that the phone's maker didn't bury the card slot behind the battery cover. Memory card	MicroSD
Bluetooth Voice indicates the phone works with wireless Bluetooth headsets and most hands-free car systems; stereo means it supports stereo Bluetooth headsets for music and other multimedia; data indicates the phone can wirelessly exchange pictures, contacts, and other files with other compatible Bluetooth devices, such as a computer, cell phone, or PDA. Bluetooth	Voice, data, stereo
Wi-Fi Cell-phone data networks--even those designated as "3G broadband"--are much slower than the broadband Internet connections many people have at home. But a rising number of phones have a built-in Wi-Fi radio that allows them faster Internet and e-mail access via home networks and Wi-Fi hotspots. On some phones, the Wi-Fi is just for Web browsing; on others, you can use the connection to make calls using Voice Over Internet Protocol. Others support data via the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) standard. This lets the phone connect via WI-Fi to share content with other compatible certified devices such as a TV, printer, and computer. Wi-Fi	Web, data
Display diagonal size (in.) Display diagonal size is the general active area of main display measured to the nearest tenth of an inch. Some folding models have an additional, external display for viewing the time, music tracks, and other functions. Display diagonal size (in.)	4.5
Touch screen Full touch-sensitive displays respond to light contact with a stylus, finger, or both. They provide an alternate, and sometimes more direct, method to input data and launch phone features and controls. But they often require two hands to operate, and they smudge more frequently than their non-touch counterparts. Touch screen	Yes
QWERTY keyboard Keyboards make composing and editing text and e-mail messages much easier than a keypad does. Some phones have keyboards that try to save space by having some letters, numbers, and symbols share a key. Those "condensed" keyboards, though still more convenient than a keypad, are not quite as easy to handle as full QWERTY keyboards. QWERTY keyboard	Yes
Document editing All smart phones, and some conventional cell phones, allow you to review documents. Some models add the convenience of creating, deleting, and editing them out of the box. Document editing	Yes
World phone Indicates the phone supports international GSM frequency bands for coverage abroad. World phone	Yes
