Editorial note

The LG Dakota T505 is presented as a compact and lightweight smartphone, weighing only 93 g, making it pleasant to carry on a daily basis. Its 2.8-inch TFT touchscreen offers a clear visual experience for viewing content, although its resolution of 240 x 320 pixels may seem limited compared to current standards.

Its Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity facilitates data exchange with other devices. Additionally, its sleek black design and bar format give it a modern look, suitable for various lifestyles. However, several drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. The internal memory of only 20 MB is very limited and can quickly become insufficient for modern users. Furthermore, the lack of integrated GPS limits its use for navigation, while the 950 mAh battery capacity may not be enough for intensive use, leading to frequent recharges.

In summary, the LG Dakota T505 offers good value for money for an entry-level smartphone, but its technical limitations may disappoint users demanding in terms of performance and features.
