Mirror finish on LG KF600 mobile phone is a big let down

Phones review have just finished their second part in a hands-on review with the LG KF600 mobile phone, they titled their second post with “Seems to technical for older” and went on to explain that the older phone user likes “simple and not sophisticated technology”. While I can understand exactly what Phones Review are saying, it needs to be pointed out that there is one big downfall with the LG KF600.

We covered this phone with a hands on review back in April and found it to be a unique two-screen phone with some really cool features, although its not a top end phone it did appeal to Kerry who did the hands-on review. She claimed that the Mirror finish was great for girls who can keep looking good on the move. Since Kerry wrote that review, she has learned that a mirror finish is not so great after all and this is even more so outdoors.

If you have used the LG KF600 for any length of time outside, you will know how hard it is to see the screen and this is not good for any phone. The features on this phone are highly rated and will please most people, but a sleek looking mirror finish is only good for looking at and when it comes to using the phone in sunlight you can forget about it. It’s still possible to use, but extremely hard to see what’s on the display.

Have you used the LG KF600 and if so, how did you find it in daylight?
