LG GD510 Pop – The Green Phone October 14, 2009

LG GD510 PopLG has always stayed one step ahead when it comes to environment friendly innovations. With the announcement of its latest GD510 Pop touch screen phone, LG has reminded mobile phone manufacturers of the importance of solar energy, even if it is used as a secondary source of powering a mobile phone. The innovative and simple design of the GD510 is a perfect example set by LG to demonstrate that the usually wasted space of a battery cover can actually be used to hold solar panels. Even in LG GD520, using the solar panels to charge the phone is optional to the user, but it is surely a very good initiative towards adopting the environment friendly sources of power.

Apart from the solar panel feature, the LG GD510 Pop is an attractive touch screen design with a minimalist layout. The LG GD510 hates buttons just like the Apple iPhones, and uses just one to perform a number of functions. The function of the phone changes with the green and red background light as per the context of the interface. The compact 4 inch phone features a 3” touch resistive TFT screen with 256k colors display and a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. The display is nothing special, but users may just find it alright for an affordable touch screen phone, that LG GD510 Pop is expected to be, as it also lacks support for Wi-Fi and 3G networks.

The phone features a 3.0 mega pixel camera, Bluetooth A2DP and an impressive 8 GB internal memory. The phone features web browsing based on WAP 2.0, HTML and X-HTML with support to GPRS, EDGE and GSM network modes. The phone features multimedia playback and supports a variety of file formats. The phone is expected to hit the markets in the month of October with the LG GD510 Pop on contract.
