Himfr.com, one of China's leading B2B search platforms with more than 30 B2B industry websites to its name, evaluates the LG BL20e.
Function: the BL20e has a 5 megapixel camera, using the German Schneider lens optics. The LG BL20e supports microSD card expansion and has a 2.4-inch QVGA (240x320 pixel) resolution display screen. The side of its body has a metal frame, ensuring a solid and reliable phone.
Design: the LG BL20e's overall design style is loyal to the latest Black Label series of fashion phones; its style is quite impressive. The phone's shape is rectangular, and its black panel and red keyboard panel are red and black. The phone slides open and closed in a solid, comfortable motion, sturdy feeling even when fully open.
The virtual keypad: the BL20e is larger than the first-generation Chocolate phone. The virtual touch keypad is much larger because the Chocolate has touch-sensitive virtual keys; when operating within a small area it is easy to mistakenly hit the wrong button, increasing the key area was a solution to this problem.
Slide parts / Keyboard: the BL20e looks beautiful, and it is easier to contaminate with fingerprints. The BL20 is a tight slider, so although it is strong, there will be some sound when it is opened. The large, comfortable keypad, and especially the number of buttons located in the middle of the entire keyboard, is another good part of the BL20. The top row contains the answer, hang up, and delete keys, separate from the virtual keys, which was a very wise decision, as the keys are used frequently, and the physical button is more reliable.
The LG BL20e's main interface is very simple, with about two shortcut menus for opening document management and contacts. At the same time, four arrow keys can also initiate fast processes, and the rolling ball in the middle of the keys opens the main menu.
The LG BL20e is equipped with a 900mAh battery. The LG BL20e screen is not very big, but sufficient for everyday use, and its battery life is not a problem at two days.
