LG has recently introduced its new line of “Intenna” radio phone for India- LG GB110 and LG GB106. Yes, you got it right; they’re the “intenna” phones that offer a new package of radio entertainment without the need to attach a headset.
This is made possible by the integration of an FM antenna that is capable of accessing all FM stations.
It is complete with the basic features of a mobile phone plus a VGA camera, a micro SD card slot expandable to 2GB and a MP3 full song playback. These phones have an extended standby time of 440hrs for GB110 and 600hrs for GB106.
LG GB 106
The recently introduced LG GB 106 is an extremely user-friendly mobile phone that offers very basic features for those who opt for only the most fundamental functions in a cellular phone. In fact, it targets the middle class market because of its low price and features. However, unlike the old phones that serve the same purpose more than a decade ago, this model has a simple passive CSTN color screen, which has a 1.5 inch length when diagonally measured. Also, it has an FM radio, but it contains no other frills, like the camera or MP3 player. This justifies its reasonable price.
LG BG 110
LG’s new mobile phone introduced last month, the LG GB 110 is highly easy to operate and is fairly cheaply priced for a phone that offers a music player and camera. Although it comes with only 1GB memory, it has a MicroSD slot for an extra memory of 2 MB. It also has an FM radio and external speakers. Its camera is VGA, which is good enough for people who are not looking for extreme entertainment with their phone. Although this mobile phone contains more than the basic features and functions of the old phones, its features are nothing really fancy. This is perfect for the middle class market.
