LG BL40 New Chocolate review: Chefs best
The New Chocolate packs enough skill to make comparison with some powerful smartphones almost inevitable. Now, it's obvious the LG BL40 is not in the same league as the likes of Hero, Omnia HD or Nokia X6 but we guess it will be more than welcome for an all-star friendly. It may sound unthinkable for a self-respecting geek to so much as consider the New Chocolate against any of those smart heavyweights, but the LG BL40 won't put up with being trivially dismissed as just another fashion phone.
Yes, the New Chocolate is a few things short of a smartphone but style it's got in excess.read more →

- One-off touchscreen bar design
- 4.01" 16M-color capacitive touchscreen of 21:9 aspect ratio
- Quad-band GSM support and UMTS with HSDPA 7.2 Mbps
- S-Class Touch UI with pinch zooming and gesture controls
- Accelerometer for screen auto-rotation
- 5-megapixel autofocus camera, Schneider-Kreuznach certified optics, LED flash, VGA@30fps video recording
- Single-handed use not too comfortable due to the extra long form factor
- Video recording output is pathetic
- Piano black surface is a fingerprint nightmare
- Memory card slot is under the battery cover
- Web browser has no Flash support
- No video streaming over Wi-Fi (such as the mobile YouTube)
LG BL40 New Chocolate preview: Having a first bite
The BL40 New Chocolate has a gorgeous display and its user interface is among the best in the "touch feature phone" class. With a more polished and more customizable UI, a nice music player and excellent video playback support, the LG BL40 New Chocolate is much closer to what the LG Arena should have been in the first place. But as we see quite often, manufacturers always leave some room for improvement to help differentiate their future products.
So that's pretty much all there is to note about our pre-release LG BL40 New Chocolate.read more →

LG's new Chocolate is the latest addition to its Black Label line. But is it any good?
- Great looking chassis
- High res and contrast screen
- Improved touch accuracy
- Sleek and glassy design
- Decent camera
- Poor battery life
- Dual screen UI not used enough
- Slight lag in the UI on a number of occasions
- Menu and back button layout is frustrating
LG New Chocolate BL40 Review
Performance and conclusion:It´s painfully clear the LG New Chocolate BL40 is stunningly sluggish. The S-Class 3D interface itself looks nice, but all the animations and transition effects make it rather heavy. We would have liked it better if it looked less eye-catchy, but was more functional and easier to use. Well, it seems we will have to wait a bit more until we finally get there.It´s a good thing we don’t rate cell phones based on in-call quality only, because the BL40 would have been just a member of the crowd that doesn’t stand out with anything in particular.read more →
- Unique form and attractive design
- High-quality screen
- Nice audio playback capabilities
- Plays Xvid videos
- Sluggish interface
- Mediocre in-call quality
- Poor camera
