The LG POP is a smartphone released by LG. The official name of the phone is LG POP GD510, and it’s a slim device that seems to be following on from the massive success of LG’s previous smartphone effort, the LG Cookie, and Viewty which, itself was a lightweight touchscreen phone that was cheaper than the high-end alternatives on the market. The Cookie sold over 7 million units, and this was mainly down to the fact that LG simply loaded the handset with the features that people wanted, rather than unnecessary ones. The LG POP seem to be echoing this way of thinking, and it comes bundled with all the features of its predecessor, and a few more for good measure.

The POP is an extremely easy to use smartphone which centers its design around a sleek touchscreen – it’s useable, classy and fun. The LG POP comes with a 3” WQVGA touchscreen, giving the user the perfect way to navigate around the menus, and doing away with bulky buttons or slide out keyboards. Everything users need to do on the POP can be done by pressing the display, which is why the handset is so slim.

Elsewhere, there’s a 3 megapixel camera, which allows individuals to take good quality images, and then either send, or edit them later. There’s also an MP3 player, for those who just like to listen to music on the go, or in the comfort of their own homes. By simply plugging in a set of headphones into the dedicated port, owners of the LG POP can listen to their favourite albums in high quality. And that’s not all – LG seem to be pushing the LG POP GD510 as the perfect handset for multimedia playback, and the video player, and video camera combined highlights this. Users are able to watch full length movies, film trailers, or YouTube footage in stunning clarity with LG’s video player, but the device also has the capability to record video itself. And if individuals are partial to browsing YouTube, then it can all be done from the excellent and responsive web browser that LG have equipped the POP with, boasting super fast loading times.
