LG Shine II GD710

With over 2 years under its belt, the LG Shine was able to turn heads thanks to its stylish exterior and savvy marketing campaign with AT&T. You couldn’t help but gaze into its mirror-like screen to either look at yourself or at someone secretly across the room. In any case, the is the successor to the popular slider phone and will be scrutinized from head to toe – let’s hope it still has what it takes to grab the center of attention in a crowded room. There’s no arguing how stylish the original LG Shine looked, but we were thoroughly baffled at the LG Shine II’s design approach. Its overall dimensions have increased to make it look larger than the original – all the while retaining the same brushed metal finish. When it’s fully opened (4.2”), it feels a bit hefty in the hand when compared to other slider phones. There’s no question that the construction feels top notch, but the additional weight (4.4 oz) packed on will definitely be noticeable to anyone holding it. Overall, we feel that the uninspired design remains stagnant and doesn’t continue
