Design and Display
The LG U8290 features a compact and pocket-friendly design, measuring 89.5 x 47.5 x 24.5 mm and weighing in at 125 grams, which made it quite sleek for 2006 standards. Its clamshell (flip phone) format was popular at the time, providing a certain charm and protection to the main display. This primary TFT display offers a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels and is capable of displaying up to 65,000 colors, delivering a colorful, albeit modest, visual experience by today’s standards. Complimenting the main screen is a second external CSTN display with a 96x96 pixel resolution, providing essential information at a glance without opening the phone.
