The LG Prada that caught the eye when it was launched by LG sometime last year has got a big upgrade and now has a physical QWERTY keyboard apart from other feature additions. The glam factor still rules but the phone has put on weight since it was first introduced.
The LG KF900 Prada is less slinky than the original phone designed by Prada and the features of the phone are sure to make some mark among the mobile users. The phone has high appeals of a chic design being a designer collaboration phone. Then it is solidly built, has Touch UI vastly improved, Multi-touch works, perfect web browsing, solid camera and video recording features, powerful and intelligence brain, and Wi-Fi technology.
But LG KF900 Prada may have complains from one section of people regarding its fiddly web browser, lack of built in GPS navigation, jack and other features. The phone could have been a better device had LG cared to improve it more with some better platform like Symbian or Windows in it.
Keyboard
The biggest change has come in the form of a full QWERTY keyboard attached to the Prada. Although its always good to have one but bulkiness and thickness isn’t the USP of the Prada, LG could have done without one. There are other upgrades to media, connectivity and user interface too. The keyboard has a nice neat layout with sufficient gap between two adjacent keys. The keys are slightly raised from bottom and give enough tactile feedback. The top row keys suffer due to close proximity to top edge. The mode automatically changes to landscape when the keyboard is flipped out. The lighting on the keyboard is adequate for low light conditions. Overall the QWERTY keyboard does a good job, better than Sony Xperia X1.
Display
The display on the device has remained unchanged and is still a 3″ display with capacitive touch. The quality of the display is good but the sunlight visibility isn’t the best we have seen. The display’s brightness can be adjusted but not he contrast. The resolution is on the lower side and does affect the picture quality. However, the touch works beautifully and there were no hiccups in that regard.
The user-interface on the device is Flash based developed by LG. The same user interface has been previously used in the older Prada, Viewty etc. The biggest change however comes in the form of multi-touch support which was till now exclusive to the Apple iPhone. The interface has got a performance boost and responds much faster. The menu has fixed layout and the accelerometer changes the orientation but only in selected applications. There are multiple home screens pretty much like the iPhone and you can select the application shortcuts to put on them. The rest of the interface is mostly unchanged and we like the way it is.
