Introducing the LG GX500: A Feature Phone Ahead of its Time
If you're someone who loves simplicity in smartphones, then the LG GX500 is definitely a device to consider. While smart devices have taken over the market, it's refreshing to take a step back and appreciate the beauty of a feature phone.
The Release and Operating System
Released in April 2010 by LG, the GX500 was ahead of its time. Designed to cater to smartphone users wanting a simpler device, it runs on a feature phone operating system. This means that it has basic features such as internet browsing, messaging, and games, but lacks the advanced capabilities of a smartphone.
The Dimensions and Storage
Weighing 118g and 13mm thick, the GX500 is lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry around. With 40MB of internal storage and a microSDHC slot, you can store all your important data and media without worrying about running out of space.
The Network and Connectivity
Equipped with GSM technology, the LG GX500 supports 2G bands for a reliable network connection. It also has GPRS and EDGE Class 12 capabilities, ensuring fast data transfer and smooth internet browsing.

The device also has a TFT resistive touchscreen with 256K colors, offering clear and vibrant visuals. With a size of 3.0 inches, the phone has a screen-to-body ratio of 44.1%, providing the perfect balance between portability and functionality.
The Camera and Sound
The GX500 comes with a 3.15MP primary camera that captures decent quality photos. It also has video recording capabilities with a resolution of 320p@15fps. While there is no front-facing camera, the device makes up for it with its loudspeaker, perfect for hands-free calling and listening to music.
The Features and Battery
Featuring an accelerometer sensor, the GX500 offers an enhanced user experience and responds to your movement. In terms of communication, the phone has SMS, MMS, and email capabilities, as well as a WAP 2.0/xHTML and HTML browser. Additionally, with a dedicated microSDHC slot, you can expand the storage up to 32GB.
