LG Candy (GU285)

Monday August 30, 2010

If you're looking for a cheap phone, and it just has to be pink then LG Candy is the best to go with. The LG Candy has a correctly playful design to match its fun-loving title. Three tones of pink are offset by white trim in this AU$99 budget wonder, the top of which slides forward to reveal a flat-as-a-tack T9 numeric keypad below. Around the edges of the phone you'll discover a few common buttons missing, there's no volume rocker and the dedicated camera button resides under the slider.

The user interface is pretty standard for a phone of this caliber, but that said, it's attractively designed with a choice of a moody black menu theme, or a glitzy white one. Moving around the phone is fairly spontaneous, with the major elements clearly labeled and the mechanical keys laid out nicely.

Candy is a 3G phone, meaning it's capable of faster web browsing than most phones priced at under AU$100. Adding a mic changes the 3.5mm connection on headphones slightly, and the adapter is only compatible with this style of connection.
