LG Arena GT950 Review

Background Information – Look n’ Feel

The LG GT950 Arena is typical of all the phones in the Arena family, with its cube-like appearance and look and feel. It has a 3-inch touch screen, small enough to fit into your pocket, but has quite a lot of components for the user.

This LG also uses an animated 3D interface and reel scrolling making it easier to use, with an accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate. Although, the actual features aren’t that different from the LG KM900 and they are of very similar weight and appearance.

Hardware – Display, Keyboard, Battery, Communications, Memory, Connectors

This block phone has a 5 megapixel camera with auto focus, weighing in at 104.9g. It also has an internal storage of 8GB, which is expandable up to 32GB. This isn’t bad at all, and with an MP3 player, this can be used to store music, or to download games if you so wish.

The three inch screen has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, with camera features including video recording and slow-motion.
