Looks nothing like a Jaguar

LG KG130 has been added one more proof to the tendency of low-end mobile phones selling in a larger number of units than the more evolved ones. Although not the least appealing and with few features, the device seems to be one of the best-sold mobile phones in the UK.

In the case of less evolved handset, the low selling price surely proves to have great importance and boosts sales. Still, the phone looks very much entry level, even less evolved than it really is. LG KG130 has a traditional design similar to older phone models, making it feel like wearing out of fashion clothes. Its sizes are not the smallest, although at 103.4 x 44 x 18.4 mm and 76 grams, the phone looks pretty light and comfortable to use.

The display screen is one of the worst ever seen, with 65k colors and a resolution of 128 x 128 pixels, which will surely leave a cramming feeling to the user. This should make pixels visible and make images display terribly. The VGA camera is the cheapest and poorest solution for allowing mobile phones to take pictures. Still, their quality will be very low and most probably missing, although they might prove to be just fine for those who don't actually use this function or only want to pride with having a camera phone, no matter how cheap that might be.

Surprising enough, the device allows its user to view xHTML web pages. Other than that, it manages to bring only the basic functions that any mobile phone out there can provide. Nothing impressive here either, which makes it quite surprising to see that a device so much lacking a personality gets to be among the best sold ones in the UK.

LG Jaguar comes only in the black color and it's price varies between 30 and 60 pounds. That's a small price, although saving some more money could get customers much better devices.
