The Sleek and Timeless KF900 Prada Device by LG
When it comes to technology, we often associate it with modern and advanced devices such as smartphones and laptops. However, back in 2008, a feature phone was introduced that changed the game - the KF900 Prada by LG. Despite being discontinued now, it is still remembered for its sleek design, advanced features, and tie-up with the renowned fashion brand, Prada.
Release Date and Operating System
The KF900 Prada was released in December of 2008, after being announced in October of the same year. It was a feature phone, meaning it did not have all the capabilities of a smartphone but was more advanced than traditional phones. It had an operating system that was specially designed for the device, making it unique from other phones on the market.
Slim and Compact Design
One of the striking features of the KF900 Prada was its slim and compact design. It weighed only 130g and had a thickness of 16.8mm, making it comfortable to hold and carry around. The body dimensions were 104.5 x 54 x 16.8 mm, and it had a QWERTY keyboard, which was perfect for quick messaging and internet browsing.
Impressive Display and Camera
Despite being a feature phone, the KF900 Prada had a 3.0-inch TFT display with 256K colors, providing a clear and vibrant viewing experience. The screen-to-body ratio was around 45.4%, which was considered high at that time. It also had a 5MP rear camera with Schneider-Kreuznach optics and LED flash, allowing users to take decent quality photos and videos.
Storage and Connectivity
The KF900 Prada came with 60MB of internal storage, which might seem insufficient now, but at the time, it was considered generous. It also had a dedicated microSDHC slot, meaning users could expand their storage as needed. In terms of connectivity, it had GSM and HSPA technology, with speed up to 7.2/0.384 Mbps. It also had Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a USB 2.0 port.
Additional Features
Apart from its impressive features, the KF900 Prada had several unique additional features that set it apart from other phones. These included a stereo FM radio with RDS, document viewer for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files, and even TV-out capability. It also had an accelerometer sensor, SMS, MMS, Email, and IM messaging, and predictive text input.
Battery Life and Price
The KF900 Prada came with a removable Li-Ion 950 mAh battery, providing a standby time of up to 400 hours and talk time of up to 3 hours. Its affordable price tag of approximately 140 EUR made it a popular choice among consumers.
Remembering the KF900 Prada
Although this device may seem like a thing of the past now, it paved the way for innovative phone designs and features. It was a collaboration between two industries - fashion and technology, that successfully created a timeless and elegant device. Today's smartphones may have replaced feature phones, but the KF900 Prada will always be remembered as a classic and revolutionary device by LG.
