Fans of LG products, especially phones, now have a reason to be happy: the company offers a new one and its name is Attune UN270. Everyone we talked to have said that this device is one of the nicest ones to fit in the user’s hand and that its’ sliding keyboard is great; they also praised the call quality and the good, though reduced, options. According to them, some minuses of this phone are the lack of instant messaging and e-mail features as well as the display. But, after all, they think highly of the LG Attune UN270. We tested it and offer you the above review. Attractive design
In terms of appearance, this new product is appealing, though not as attractive as others. If you ever had an LG Cosmos Touch, then the one we’re reviewing here has the former’s measurements, namely 4.05” x 2.08” x 0.65”. Those of you who have small hands will love this phone. The material it is made of is smooth plastic and the red band surrounding the screen make it extra attractive; its sides are soft to the touch and its corners are curved. The Attune UN270 comes with a weight of 4.37ounces which offers no difficulty when moving it from place to place or holding it to talk with loved ones.QWERTY keyboard
On the front of the Attune UN270 is a 2.8” resistive screen that doesn’t offer the touch option but sports a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels and 262.000 colors; during our tests we had to press buttons quite a few times before we could access what we wanted. The wallpaper, screen image and others could easily be adjustable. Two of the display’s home screen could be customizable and the main home screen gave us the possibility to fill it with various widgets and apps. The main buttons under the screen were somewhat small, but nonetheless easy to press. As we said when we began this review, the LG Attune UN270 boasts a sliding QWERTY keyboard with different locations for symbols but with the same well-spaced buttons – that are easy to text by feel – we have come to expect from LG phones.
Good battery life
In the features department, the Attune UN270 shares them with other phones offered by LG. what’s different is the lack of mobile e-mail, VZ Navigator and others and the existence of Pac-Man, Easyedge and so on.The performance of this product was, except some issues, good. The voices we heard were clear and loud; our friends said that they heard a bit of crackling and distortion; the speakerphone shared the same audio quality.
The 6 hours of talk time offered by the battery were a nice addition to the phone.
Test and review conclusions
To sum it up this test, the LG Attune UN270 is one of those entry-level devices which are good options for everybody, although the resistive screen will disappoint.Technical specifications and features
