While already a smarter-looking uplift of its prototype U8110, the LG U8120 mobile phone offers a little something extra, making it a more attractive purchase.
Phone Profile
Like its predecessor U8110, the LG U8120 mobile phone is considered one of the smallest and lightest 3G phones to date. Among its stand-out features is the built-in VGA camera that swings 180 degrees for forward and backward for picture and video capture.
How It’s Different
Everything else function-wise with the LG U8120 mobile phone is pretty much the same with U8110-clear 65K TFT screen main screen and monochrome external screen for time display and caller ID; user-friendly navigation; video call-ready, among others.
The slight differences that are really worth looking at are, firstly the change in contour and front panel makeup-the model looks smarter now with improved contours and a shinier finish-and secondly, internal user memory update from 14MB to 32MB. This means more storage space for audio and video files, and ultimately more usability.

Last Say
Although some find the phone’s protruding antenna a bit of a bother, as well as the fact that it doesn’t offer a memory expansion facility, most users are generally satisfied with the phone’s user-friendliness and valuable functions. Bottomline, it’s still really a bargain for its asking price.
