Review Summary
The LG KG810 is a stylish flip-phone that follows in the tradition of the LG Chocolate. It features 128MB of on board memory, a 1.3-megapixel camera, is tri band GSM (900/1800/1900MHz) compatible, and GPRS connectivity. The KG810 features a glossy finish, which may attract smudges and fingerprints very easily. However, the KG810 is solidly built, and in my hand it feels really sleek and slim.

It features 128MB of on board memory, a 1.3-megapixel camera, is tri band GSM (900/1800/1900MHz) compatible, and GPRS connectivity. The KG810 features a glossy finish, which may attract smudges and fingerprints very easily. However, the KG810 is solidly built, and in my hand it feels really sleek and slim. The heat sensitive buttons on the outside of the phone were generally accurate, but there were times when they couldn’t register presses. These buttons glow red. Flipping open the phone reveals a large, bright screen as well as a flat keypad. While flat keypads are sometimes difficult to use, this one isn’t—it’s great for composing text messages or dialling numbers. The keypad features the same matte and gloss keys as the original Chocolate phone, however this time they are laid out in a slight curve.
Audio quality during calls was really clear and loud, even over the speakerphone. There are seven profiles, out of which three are completely customizable. The phone can hold up to 1000 contacts in its internal memory, and speed dialing is available. Unfortunately, voice dial and voice command are not supported. It also has a Web browser and email client so you can browse the Web and send and receive emails, but the email setup is pretty tricky. Battery life is acceptable, at only 2-3 hours of talk time and 200 hours of standby. The KG810’s 1.3 megapixel camera is capable of capturing images in five different resolutions, and provides quite an impressive range of settings for users to tweak and a 4x digital zoom is provided. However, the camera takes around three seconds to activate, and the shutter lag is a terrible three seconds as well, making it impossible to capture candid moments. The MP3 player that supports MP3, AAC and AAC+ formats, and users can use Bluetooth stereo headphones. One of the KG810’s biggest let downs is that while 128MB of onboard memory seems like a lot of storage space, there’s no expandable memory slot. Other features include a calculator, a calendar, an alarm clock, a voice recorder, an FM radio, a unit converter, world time, a stop watch and Java games. Overall, although the LG KG810 looks great, the poor interface makes it difficult to recommend.

The LG KG810 is undeniably a sexy-looking phone. Holding and using it is not only an enjoyable experience, but one that you don't mind sharing with onlookers. Unfortunately, some of the feature set is a little lacklustre compared with the competition, and if you're looking for style and substance then you might want to test it out before you buy Read more

Review: LG KG810
Reviewer: MobileBurn21 November 2006Forming the basis of Verizon's VX8600, the LG KG810 is the folder style version of the KG800 Chocolate phone. With a 1.3 megapixel camera, 128MB memory, and touch sensitive music keys, the KG810 certainly does look tasty. Read more

Lousy Battery Life
Reviewer: M. Jensen "MJ", Amazon22 June 2008- Overall 2
The LG KG810 is a beautiful phone with a sleek design, great quality built, it feels solid and has many features. This phone was bought to replace my old RAZR which fell in the pool - the size was smaller and the design very similar. My usage of the phone is very basic...to make calls (no texting, MP3, camera, or Radio). The problem with the KG810 is that the battery life is so lousy that even for this basic function the phone is mediocre, I can't imagine how it would be... Read more

Mediocre Phone Overall
Reviewer: Anonymous, BusinessMobileAsia.com01 August 2006- Overall 4
I wish all the best for the KG810, my family sell LG products, but you have to admit that the KG810 is completely unoriginal. If this came out in January it would have maybe competed with the Moto V3i but now the KRZR is coming and with its 2.0mp camera, up 2GB memory, superior MP3 player, and supermodel looks it will blow this outdated model away. By the way is it just me or is the hinge a complete copy of the RAZR? Read more
