LG Versa: Style & Versatility

LG Versa: Style & Versatility by Sam Lee

When you first look at the LG Versa, some similarities to another popular LG touchscreen phone, the LG Dare, becomes a bit evident. However, besides the similarities in overall appearance the Versa VX9600 stands apart as a very competent offering in the touchscreen segment.

Customizing Looks: In the standard packing, the Versa has an attachable QWERTY keyboard and a built-in leather casing. However, if the user does not want the QWERTY's bulk then there is a very interesting option — it can be detached and the typing can still be carried out with the virtual keyboard that is available as a part of the touch screen. Similarly, the back cover can be replaced with the QWERTY's cover pad and the phone now has a slightly different looks. The cover is equipped with a impressive OLED display. The standard call/send/end quick buttons are conveniently located for improved user experience. Yes, many superficial similarities to the Dare are there but the Versa is a sleeker version of the two and its battery cover has a smart high-end texture wrapped around. Customizing the appearance of each home screen is easy and the gear icons lead you to easy-to-follow instructions displayed on a page, explaining the entire gamut of settings options. The keyboard attachment also boasts of faux leather on either sides and this gives the phone an executive touch.

Evaluating Features on Offer: For a change, the handwriting recognition software actually works and even if you scribble, the text is changed into proper fonts. Yes, there are some issues in differentiating between numbers and letters but then that is the case with most touchscreens in this category. It has a huge phone book memory up to 1000 contacts. Other useful applications include Text/Multimedia messaging, speakerphone and a tip calculator. The drawing pad is very intuitive and it assists you when trying to sketch small drawings. The 2 megapixel camera is below average considering the current market standards. It could have been better if LG has fitted a 5 megapixel at the very least. The GPS work with the VZ Navigator Subscription Service and the audio specs offer a built-in speaker and A2DP stereo along with a 2.5 mm stereo headphone jack. Memory expansion is offered in the form of an SDHC micro-SD card slot.

Verdict — The LG Versa is a combination of being a slightly executive-styled and a fun-themed phone. It is a bit different from the usual touch screens in the market and operating it is undemanding. It does make a strong case as a smart purchase and promises durability and performance.
