LG KF510 Review

Phone rating:

In a nutshell: The KF510 is a gorgeous, ultraslim fashion phone. With a sleek touchscreen design, sparkly LED lights, a 2-tone graded colour scheme and a metal body, it's one of the best looking phones available. It's fully featured too, with a 3 megapixel camera, MP3 player, FM radio, Bluetooth and memory card. However, the touch sensitive screen isn't the best around, the battery life is poor, and the phone seems to be prone to failure.

Review: May 2008. Updated June 2009.

With the LG KF510, LG have made a phone that just looks the business. If you want to wow your mates in the pub, look no further. We were expecting the beauty to be just skin-deep, but the more we played with the KF510, the more it grew on us. Sure, we're shallow and easily pleased, but hey!

Let's do the looks first, since that's what this phone is really all about. It's an ultra-slim slide phone with a sleek touchscreen design. The colour scheme is gorgeous, with a two-tone graded finish in either Sunset Red or Stardust Dark Grey. When you move your fingers over the touch-sensitive surface of the phone, LED lights blink on and off. It's quite hypnotic, or at least we thought so. Maybe LG have hypnotised us into writing such nice comments! On the other hand, it's clear from user feedback that not everyone likes the touchscreen buttons, with many people finding them overly sensitive and prone to misfire. Oh, nearly forgot to mention that it's quite a heavy phone, despite being so thin, as its body is made of metal.

There's more to the phone than just looks. The camera is quite respectable for an entry-level phone, with a 3 megapixel resolution and autofocus. Not up to David Bailey standards, but as good as anything else in this price range. There's an MP3 player of course, plus the bonus of an FM radio. You can customise ringtones, play games, send messages and browse the web, just like any other modern phone. Bluetooth and USB connectivity are both present, so all boxes seem to be ticked. There are just two weak areas: the phone is triband, rather than quadband, and the inbuilt memory is limited at just 16 Mbytes (enough for a couple of ringtones and some photos.) However, you can expand the memory to 4 Gbytes by adding a microSD memory card.

Despite our initial expectations of this being a rather superficial kind of phone, we found ourselves liking it very much. However, with the benefit of hindsight, it's clear that this is not a phone that is built to last. The metal body and scratch-proof tempered glass screen should have made it a pretty robust phone despite its superslim design. However, reading through the user comments below, it's obvious that the LG KF510 isn't a robust phone, and many didn't even last a year. Add to this the poor battery performance, and the phone ultimately has proved to be a disappointment.

Features of the LG KF510 include:

  • 3 megapixel camera with autofocus
  • Video camera
  • Display: TFT, 262,000 colours, 240 x 320 pixels (2.2 inches)
  • MP3 player & FM radio
  • Messaging: SMS, EMS, MMS, email
  • Java games
  • Wallpaper
  • Phonebook (1,000 names)
  • Memory: 16 Mbytes plus microSD memory card slot (up to 4 Gbytes)
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0
  • Internet: WAP 2.0, GPRS, EDGE, Google package
  • Vibration alert
  • Triband
  • Size: 104.5 x 49.5 x 10.9 mm
  • Weight: 110g
  • Talktime: 4 hours
  • Battery standby: 400 hours

Im 13 and i've had this phone for a while now. To be honest it's just a kids phone and i don't even think it's worth it. You'll like it at first but wait some time. The slide button to turn it off has come off. The charging usb cover has now come off, and the video camera no longer works. The camera is terrible. The zoom is pointless. Go for a better brand. LG is mediocre.

I had it replaced and its still bad. Problems include turning off for no reason, detatching from network, battery dying within an hour of fully charging it, and now my latest problem is the screen has stopped working, the phone still works but I ca't see a thing!

Completely loved this phone, was snazzy looking and impressed all my mates with just the right touchpad-actual buttons ratio to not be too annoying. However, after dropping the phone (to be fair, quite heavily dropping.. I sorta threw it in a fit of rage but sure this could be done by dropping it too) there is a major dent in the side and the touch pad is no longer working. This means the phone is absolutely useless unless i call someone off speed dial! Most annoying!

The LG kf510 looks great but there are a few downsides to it. I currently own one and there is a few things that could make it much better. First the phone seems to 'restart' every time I go on to the internet, People can't always contact me and after a while all the messages and missed calls comes through which is not good at all poor reception from the phone my other phone has full signal then the LG only has half of that with the same service company, the battery life sucks not even 10 hours and i'm not on the phone all the time, after a month the charger fitting does'nt work anymore so I struggle to charge it and the fitting is poorly positioned, then for a new age phone MINIMIZE is accential!!!! when the battery runs low you cant even send a sms or do anything with it, the speakers quality is not good at all, then there is some good features like the anti theft which work pretty well. but Its not a good phone at all.

So I bought this phone when I moved to Europe based entirely on it's looks and features. I do like the phone, it looks great, it's fun and it's relatively easy to use. It connects to the BlueTooth in my car well and for the most part the touch screen has been easy to adapt to. I've only had the phone 5 months however, and have had it repaired twice (the first time the screen died and the second time it wouldn't slide closed anymore-- both covered under warrenty). It also doesn't do things like save outgoing text messages, which is a small detail but I find it slightly annoying. I like the phone... but the next time I'll do more research before just buying anything.

Let me remember why I decided to go straight to buy this phone... oh yes. It was its design and being so thin.. besides, since I always keep my phones in my pants front pocket, I needed it to be strong. This one is made of metal, which I love. It's pretty strong and because it's so thin, nobody notices that it is in my pocket. Lovely lighting, very serious, modern and definitely it is so stylish when you answer this phone in public. The touch pad yes, quite confusing at the begining, but at the end you get used to it. The cam.. I wish it was better. Definitely, my first LG phone.. I always bought Nokias, and I decided to give them a rest... good chpice for me.

This phone, despite its good looks, is a pretty boring phone. The touchscreen is surprisingly easy to use, and i love the metal casing, but i don't really think it was worth the money when there are far better Sony Ericssons for the same price. The camera is good, but browsing through the memory card files is very slow. And I hate how you can't turn the stupid noises off when you're texting without putting it on silent. Nice to text with, though.

Phone looks great but the touch pad is rubbish. The phone definitely has a mind of its own. Upon sliding it up it makes phone calls becuase it somehow picks up that i have selected the bottom left hand corner of the touch pad. Extremely annoying.

If, like me, you are the kind of person that uses all the features of your phone for about a week and then realise that you only really ever wanted it to be a phone, then the LG 510 is for you! The phone looks great and the menu system is superb. The camera is good enough for most occasions, and feels more like a regular camera due to you having to hold the phone horizontally to take pictures. The on-phone slideshow feature is a welcome one as who ever really gets round to downloading their photos? If you want a decent MP3 player buy an iPod, but if you just want to listen to the odd track here and there then this phone does a good enough job. For me the best thing about the phone (apart from the menu system, which really is VERY good) is the battery life. I have had this phone for about a week now and have yet to recharge it. On the highest settings ring tone, message alrts and call volume are all really loud and there are a few included tones that really cut through background noise. The only downside I would say is that the touch buttons are a bit too sensitive. If they had just made them super-sleek buttons it would have been better, I see no reason for touch sensitivity in this case as it's not like you interact directly with the screen. Anyway, once you have the menu open you can make selections with the number pad so there is an alternative. Also the CD that comes with it could be better, but that's just being picky. All in all, if you like your phone to be a phone, but with the option of a few gadgets if you want them and a long battery life then this phone is perfect.

Had the phone for over a week now, lovee it. Battery life is ace, only charged it for a couple of hours, and i'm quite a heavy user. Didn't think the music player was all that good, not very loud and music can be disorted, however it's not bad enough not to get the phone. Touch screen is ace, wicked to use. This phone is awesome to text on too. Phone feels great in your hand! lol. I brought a 2gb memory card for it from the carphonewarehouse for only £12.50 so the memory wasnt a problem!! Buuuy it!

AMAZING PHONE - A pleasure to use, switched to this from a N95 which I thought was big, slow and buggy! The KF510 is really easy to use, the touch sensitive buttons respond really well, and fantastic all rounder phone! 5 Stars
