Sound and Storage
The sound capabilities are rather basic, with vibration alerts and the ability to download polyphonic ringtones. The absence of a loudspeaker and a 3.5mm headphone jack might feel limiting today, emphasizing the communication rather than entertainment focus of this device. Storage-wise, the LG U8290 comes with 20MB of internal memory, suitable for its time for basic usage. The inclusion of a microSD slot was an excellent provision for expanding storage, allowing users to keep more photos or music files, particularly valuable for those wishing to use the built-in MP3/AAC/MP4 player.
