Being a music phone the LG KM570 comes with all the necessary features one would expect. It has a 3.5 mm audio socket at the top of the mobile phone, high quality speakers, Dolby sound enhancement, and a stereo FM radio with RDS. The phone also has games and a can play both MP3 and MP4 files.

The mobile phone’s display is a bit low spec in that its resolution is WQVGA and not WVGA, but this is to be expected given that this is a budget phone. The display itself is a 3” TFT resistive touch screen with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. To help improve the usability of the phone it also has handwriting recognition and an accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate.

The LG Cookie Music (LG Cookie Gig) comes with a relatively nice 5 megapixel camera with autofocus. Unfortunately the phone does not come with a flash but it does have video recording.
