Review: LG GS505 Sentio

Camera

The Sentio's camera controls are actually pretty robust. The camera launches in about 1 second after pressing the dedicated camera button. Since it doesn't use autofocus, it also takes pictures fairly quick. The entire process of shooting, saving, and getting back to the camera probably takes 3 seconds. Not the speediest ever, but still respectable. Having a dedicated camera key makes a world of difference, as I find pressing a touch screen to snap pictures a bit annoying.

After you've taken the image, you have the usual options for saving the photo, viewing your gallery, sending the photo to some online service, etc. I am actually stunned by the depth of editing features available. It goes way beyond simple crop and rotate. You can add text, a voice message, scribble on it, use filters, adjust contracts/brightness rations, add stamps, change the image size and more.

For a simple feature phone, it offers a lot of features. Many more so, in fact, than some of its high-end competitors.

 

Gallery

The gallery app is decent, too. It takes a few seconds to load, but once it does there are no delays or problems. The first view you get is of your images in a grid. Touch one and it starts the slide show. Swiping left to right lets you flip through your images and it was snappy about it. When you settle on an image, a quick press to the screen will turn on the controls for editing or taking other actions.
