If LG Chocolate was downright Gothic with its dark design, LG Shine KE970 is definitely post-modern with its full metallic body and a super glossy front display.

If you are looking for sophistication and solidity together, you should opt for LG Shine for it comes with a steel body and an extremely sleek, silvery finish. In fact, wonder of the wonders, the LCD display of the phone turns into a mirror when it is not on!

Even though the phone is only 13.7mm thin, it weighs comfortably heavy in your hand at 119g and is very good for those who like phones with solid builds. The phone has become an instant hit worldwide just after it was launched.

So, is it only another good-looking fashion accessory for those who would like to match their phone with their evening gowns or are there more to LG Shine? Let us check it out in details.

The phone comes with a 2.3” LCD display, which as I have already mentioned becomes a mirror when not in use. It is extremely vivid with 240 x 320 pixels and 262,000 colors. However, you may have difficulty to view it in sunlight.


The phone has a flat keypad with very large and distinct keys. Therefore, elderly users who usually have difficulties to use flat keypads should not face difficulties in using it. There are also a 5 navigation keys just below the LCD display on the front casing.

There are two flat-keys on both sides and two press buttons with a vertical scrolling button in the middle. This gives you options to go to Device, Contacts and a list of nine favorites that you can set up as you please.

The headphone and power jack, MP3 button, camera and volume control keys are located on the right hand side on the set while the left hand side is free of any button whatsoever.

The 2mp camera with a Schneider-Kreuznach lens with auto-focus is located at the back of the phone and has a LED flash for taking pictures at night. One sweet little feature is a tiny mirror attached there to take your own photo!

As the LG Shine supports Micro SD memory cards (up to 2GB) you won’t have any problem to store photos or music.

The very beauty of LG Shine can be its undoing as the LCD display is not immune to scratches and is easily soiled. It is highly advisable to protect your LG Shine by a leather pouch or a hardy mobile cover.

Also, the buttons may be a bit slippery and at times making it difficult to press them. Other than these, LG Shine Ke970 is an absolute head-turner with amazing performance to match its good looks. With a market price around $150, it is definitely a good bargain.
