Overview:
It's a rarity indeed to find a device that does everything right. In the case of cellphones they're either voice rich and feature poor, or vice versa. It's hard to find one that can find the right balance at the right cost. But now and again there are pleasant surprises. One such surprise is the LG VX8300 flip phone for the Verizon network.
The phone comes armed with two bright displays, an intuitive interface with nicely spaced keys, Bluetooth, a memory slot, GPS, camera/camcorder with flash and Verizon VCast music capability. And all that's complemented by good voice quality.
To achieve all this, the designers took some interesting design paths and made some good-quality component choices. The RF and baseband sections are of particular interest, from the choice of the antenna and RF front end to the eschewing of any sort of shielding to the choice of baseband processor. All add to the LG-designed device's high-quality connectivity.
Use this On-Demand seminar to find out what choices LG did make—and why—to realize a quality handset.
Use the seminar to see:
- What RF components were chosen
- What LG did to replace the need for expensive shielding
- What baseband and transceiver choices were made
- How so much functionality was packaged into such a small device
- And much more!
Who should attend:
Designers of mobile handsets and subsystems, particularly those interested in RF design, shielding and baseband processing.
