"Chocolate" Mobile Phone GSM from LG BL40

The first Chocolate became a fashion icon and byword for stylish, elegant and exquisite device almost immediately after its official release. It inaugurated the manufacturer´s Black Label lineup that has recently got two new members. The first is the LG New Chocolate BL20 that will probably be the direct successor to the first Chocolate. The second is the offbeat LG New Chocolate BL40 – the celebrity we are introducing to you today. What´s unique about the phone is its 4-inch touch sensitive display with multitouch, 21:9 wide-screen ratio and 16 million color support. Moreover, the handset boasts a host of nice features like Wi-Fi, 3G, full HTML browser and 5-megapixel camera, although the device is not a smartphone really, because it runs the S-Class 3D interface of the manufacturer. Now, enough with our beating about the bush, let´s get to brass tacks. Alongside of most other phones, the BL40 comes in a different form factor. The phone is long and narrow, partly due to its non-standard aspect ratio of the display. Being a member of the Black Label series, it sports an incredibly stylish overall look. Black seems to have taken over almost entirely, but the red upper and lower parts of the body lend some color to the austere, graceful design. Perhaps the New Chocolate BL40 will prove to be the next PRADA, despite the fact it´s not branded by the fashion label. This preview is based on a prototype, but still, we simply must tell you about the amazingly beautiful image quality its 4-inch TFT display with native resolution of 358x800 pixels and 16 million colors deliver. Colors are really saturated and the only displays we have seen that provide such a superb image quality are AMOLED ones. There is no single button on the front side of the device, not even touch sensitive keys, but just the awesome screen, earpiece, video call camera and proximity sensor above it. On either side you have microUSB port, button to fast start the audio player, 3.5mm jack, screen lock button, volume rocker and camera shutter. The 5-megapixel camera equipped with Schneider-KREUZNACH optics, flash and additional microphone taking care of the audio tracks to your videos is on the back, while as expected, the SIM and microSD card slots are under the hood. FEATURES: • 4" HD LCD Protected by Tempered Glass View things real with the New Chocolate BL40’s 4" HD (High Definition) LCD, which captivates the world with its large size, true-to-life image and video display. Its sleek tempered glass finish allows you to realize high-definition image quality that surpasses any conventional LCD technology. • Complete Web Display The 345x800 (Real WVGA) wide screen offers simple and convenient internet environment and supports multi-touch and full webpage display that does not require horizontal scrolling while providing genuine fun. • Dual Screen UI Just like Outlook Express, Dual Screen UI splits the screen into two and shows email subject and contents in one view. Instead of searching the email subject then open a new window to view contents, subjects and contents can be quickly cross checked simultaneously. • Panoramic Entertainment The New Chocolate BL40 features a wide screen 16:9 display ratio but it does not stop there. The screen can be further adjusted to 2.35:1 cinematic wide view for vivid and realistic video contents play at any time and place. The wide display ratio applied to the camera’s viewfinder and photo gallery makes photo taking & image searching more dynamic and enjoyable. • One Touch Copy & Paste The New Chocolate BL40 is optimized for internet browsing and web contents that can be copied and pasted onto schedulers or text messages with a simple touch. You can search flight schedule on the web then send it to a friend via SMS or copy a meeting schedule from an email and store it onto the scheduler. • Gesture Shortcut With the New Chocolate BL40’s Gesture Shortcut, you can access menus by drawing simple icons on a touch pad. You can set up each of your frequently used menu items to be accessed by one of the twelve gesture icons stored in the handset.
