LG KS20 has just seen an European release and should be soon available in stores. The handset greatly resembles the Prada phone, coming from the same producer, but features some differences when it comes to specifications.

LG KS20 proves to be just another one of the thick line of mobile phones that try to compete with the iPhone. In this case, the touchscreen was a must and looks pretty great, at its 2.8 inch sizes. Videos should also be rendered at a high quality, while navigation through the menu should also feel great, as the 240 x 320 pixel resolution sounds great. It's all left to see when the device will become a common mobile phone in Europe, just as many other devices now are.

At the sizes of 99.5 x 58 x 12.9 mm and weighing in at 95 grams, the LG KS20 proves to be a highly compact and light device. It's small, light and incredibly stylish. Unfortunately, the design has been used one too many times until now and feels rather boring to those more accustomed to the mobile phone offer of various producers. The squarish look and small navigation buttons on the bottom of the display screen look like nothing special, now that we have already seen it in the case of LG Prada, Samsung Armani and even the iPhone.

One great advantage about this smartphone is the fact that it also packs 3G connectivity and HSDPA data transfers at speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps. The phone also includes a 2 megapixel camera with auto-focus and flash and a second one, for video calling. Specifications also reveal Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, along with TV-out and an FM radio, for entertainment at top levels.

LG KS20 will be available starting today in major retail stores in Europe. The producer made no specifications on the price that this device will come at, as there are high chances for it to vary, depending on the country of the release.
