The handset is referred to as the slimmest 8 megapixel phone, which is surely true, but otherwise it’s an average slider with a size of 107 x 52 x 13.9 mm, while its weight is 119 grams. Since it’s a mid-range device, the used materials are also medium quality ones, KC780 is made of plastic, but these are better than the average – hard plastic, which provides a firm grip. The design and shape are not very unique, the corners are somewhat rounded, while the case is a bit thicker at the camera.
On top of the front panel there is the phone speaker and the inevitable LG logo, while below these there is the 2.4” QVGA display, which is an average one, as it has nice colors and it’s readable in sunlight, but it’s basically nothing more than any other similar solution. There is a slim black frame around the screen, which uses a bit of optical illusion to make the TFT panel look larger. This part is surrounded a nearly white, but still grey part, which ends in two softkeys and a five-way d-pad below the display. Below there is a darker area where we can observe the two call handling keys and the clear key – this is positioned very badly, as abuts with the navigation pad, I’ve pressed it lots of times instead of the down key, but I’ve got used to it after a couple of days.
The sliding mechanism is high quality, there is only a minimal amount of play. The numeric keypad has the same color as the keys on the bottom, the rows are separated with metal-looking horizontal bars. The keys are a bit convex, have a great pressure point and allow fast and steady typing.
On the back of the device the label I’ve mentioned has been the most prominent part, but we shouldn’t be afraid about people not looking at our phone even though this label will be missing, as the frame of the camera lens is quite striking as well, which is probably intentional. Besides the circle inside the silver frame we will also find a LED flash and a mirror used for making self-portraits, while on the bottom of the back panel there are all kinds of labels, like DivX, ISO1600, Schneider, KREUZNACH. This is a camera phone.
In the top left corner we’ll see the hook for attaching the wristband, while below there is the charger/headset connector and the volume control keys. On the bottom there is only the microphone, while on the right we will find the camera’s shoot key and the microSD card slot.
