LG U8138 Connectivity and Features

Connectivity and Features

In terms of connectivity, the LG U8138 supported 2G and 3G networks, making it an early adopter of UMTS 2100 technology with a maximum speed of 384 kbps—offering faster data transmission compared to purely 2G phones. However, it lacked modern amenities such as WLAN and Bluetooth, relying instead on an infrared port for data transfer—a common feature for sharing info between devices before Bluetooth became widespread. There was no GPS, radio, or standard 3.5mm headphone jack, leaning instead on its proprietary interface for accessory connections and charging.
