Design and Display
The LG CU720 Shine exemplifies a classic design with its full metal body and a unique mirror-effect screen that gives it a premium look, especially in its silver color variant. Measuring at 100 x 50.5 x 15 mm and weighing 119 grams, it felt substantial yet compact in hand. The 2.2-inch TFT display supported 256K colors, providing fairly vibrant visuals for the time, though the ~182 ppi pixel density wasn't exceptionally high even by the standards of 2007. The screen-to-body ratio of approximately 29.7% is modest, leading to a design that prominently featured buttons and controls, which were both tactile and intuitive.
