  • LG is a forerunner in the touch screen technology of mobile handsets and there are an increasing number of people turning towards hands- free gadgets. LG continues to strive hard to maintain its top most position and LG GM360 Viewty Snap is another feather in its cap.

    The characteristic feature of LG GM360 Viewty Snap handset is the touch screen display of 3 inches, having a resolution of 240X 400 pixels. As many as 256 thousand colors can be displayed and there is an accelerometer sensor so that according to the user's angle, the user interface can rotate. The appearance is stylish and is the apple's eye of the tech savvy people. The dimensions of LG GM360 Viewty Snap are about 108X53.1X12mm, with a weight of about 87 grams, sans the battery. So, it is easy to carry around.

    The five megapixel camera has an autofocus facility with LED flash, capable of capturing images with a resolution of 2592 X 1944 pixels, in addition to videos with a frame rate of 15 fps. The internal memory of LG GM360 Viewty Snap is 60MB, though it is feasible to add additional storage with the help of a micro SD card. There is a call recording facility and a digital camera installed at the back of LG GM360 Viewty Snap.

    The speaker phone facility allows a hands free communication. The greatest versatility of LG GM360 Viewty Snap is the several connectivity options like class 10 versions of GPRS EDGE and also Bluetooth and micro USB. LG viewty snap makes use of A- class interface which provides three different preloaded home screens. The shortcuts for the preferred applications are given at the bottom of the home screen of LG GM360 Viewty Snap. The icons are displayed in four sections such as communication, utilities, entertainment and settings.

    The various entertainment options include MP4 or MP 3 player, stereo FM radio and a load of games. Needless to say, which is only expected from such a sophisticated gadget, various file types like Word, Excel, PowerPoint and pdf files can also be accessed in LG GM360 Viewty Snap.

    But while searching for the downsides of this tiny wonder, there is no Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity in LG GM360 Viewty Snap, which are a big surprise and the user has no other option but to make use of EDGE data speed, which will be disappointing for the avid internet users. In addition, the QWERTY keyboard experiences great lag, since the screen is resistive.

    But these drawbacks of LG GM360 Viewty Snap are overshadowed by the performance of the camera which possesses very advanced settings and shooting modes. The inbuilt speaker phone supports vibration and MP3 ring tone alerts. But since there is no video player, it has to be played only from the gallery or the file manager.

    The price of LG GM360 Viewty Snap is also affordable, considering the numerous features it displays and they are down to earth user- friendly. But LG GM360 Viewty Snap is a small wonder in hands that can be proudly taken to flaunt and enjoy the freedom of hands free gadget. It is a must- have for all those who are constantly on the move but wish to stay connected with the rest of the world.
