LG KU970 Shine Reviews

The Bangkok Post reviews the LG Shine KU970 and writes, "Oddly enough, zoom is not supported at 1- and 2-megapixel resolutions in still image shooting mode. Performance of the camera is a little shabby. There's a noticeable delay of 3 seconds from the time we hit the shutter until the picture is recorded. In good light, the camera locks focus in under 2 seconds. Image quality at its best is good enough for only 4R prints. A number of our snaps turned out blurred due to the shutter lag and this became more obvious for those taken in darker environments. The camera also tends to expose the highlights and purple fringing is rampant in areas with large contrast."

RegHardware reviews the LG U970 Shine and writes, "A more worrying problem, though, was handset heat. The top section of the phone's underside seemed to heat up like a radiator after several hours of use and actually became quite hot to the touch. ... If style was all that mattered, the LG U970 obeys the rule to the letter. Mirrored surfaces, brushed metal, and a sleek design mean the handset will appeal to those with a penchant for elegant equipment to complement their designer handbags or tailored suits. Looks aside, the U970 sports a solid range of connectivity and entertainment features, but lacks the technical punch available from the heavyweight application bundles on many PDA handsets."
