LG GD510 could be green choice

Posted: 13 October 2009

People looking for a mobile phone that can help them minimise their impact on the planet may be impressed by a new model from LG.

The manufacturer's GD510 - otherwise known as Pop - has been designed to keep energy consumption as low as possible.

Buyers will find the handset boasts an eco-calculator that is built into the mobile's menu system and allows them to monitor how much CO2 they save by using the phone.

The main feature that makes the device a greener option than more traditional handsets is its solar-powered battery.

Commenting on the phone, LG stated: "Ten minutes under the sun provides up to two minutes 15 seconds of talk time or up to 180 minutes of standby time."

The phone also comes with a range of other features that may make it attractive to those in the market for a new device, including an integrated media player and a full touchscreen.

Alternatively, buyers may prefer the South Korean manufacturer's recently-released BL40 Chocolate handset.

Which of the two is the most appealing?
