LG Secret KF750

Camera
One of the better features in the KF750’s arsenal is its 5 megapixel camera. I would have preferred a Xenon flash, but an LED is all we get. There are quite a few options to choose from, including various scene modes like Sports and Portrait, white balance, ISO settings, a timer, and a panorama mode as well (that requires you to manually find end points to stitch images together), and others.

Macro shots look decent if you can get the focus point right. The colors look quite good as well.

Normal images in sunlight don’t look too bad and although there seems to be a little more red than necessary in some of the images, they look quite all right on the whole.

Video recording is quite good at 30fps with DivX compression. You have the option of shooting in a 4:3 or 16:9 (widescreen) format.

Battery
While the battery life of the KF750 is not unreasonably low, it's not too great either. You’ll easily get a little over a day and a half of usage. The oddest thing is the handset will display three bars for most of this duration but when it drops to two bars you had better run for your charger. The drop from two bars to a dead battery is not too far off.

That was the biggest hassle I faced, and though it may seem like charging via USB is convenient, it takes its own sweet time and sometimes doesn’t charge at all. So keep a charger handy, just in case. Talktime is up to about three hours, which isn't too bad.
