LG Dynamite KG300

Multimedia
Mediawise the phone is equipped with your regular 3GP-capable Real Player that plays video files in Landscape mode, video and still capture Camera, and an MP3 player.

The MP3 player however is average. The 'ergonomic' headset looks great but the output is too low. Let’s be honest here, we live in a noisy city and need a player that drowns out excess noise. The KG300 earphones don’t cut it. On the other hand, the loudspeaker is quite loud and clear. Quality of the music files can be adjusted to your liking using the EQ presets; however it would have been a lot better if it had a customizable eq. The phone has a 2.5mm headset socket, so even though you can’t directly plug in your normal headphones, you can do it if you get a converter. The phone is also equipped with a melody composer to make your own tones.


As mentioned before, you can assign a video file (or a picture) to a contact so it personalizes your incoming calls. It only has a small view on the main screen, but its still quite cool for a built-in feature.

Camera
The KG300 has a 2-megapixel camera, which is one of the best you can get at this price point. Actually, I think this *is* the best you can get at this price! The downsides to the camera are the lack of an LED flash and optical zoom, but once again, you can’t complain, given the price!

The phone manages to focus on the object in the center of the frame at a short distance, while long distance shots appear blurred.

On the plus side it does have plenty of creative modes with which you can take snaps. For example, a blue and copper carving mode, blackboard and white board and much more. It also has settings for cloudy days, or even if you would like to capture multiple images consecutively. There are settings for 5 and 9 snaps. For all you snap-happy photographers out there this is a real treat.
