Whilst the LG BL40 New Chocolate was only in the spirit of the original Black Label luxury handset, this one evokes the landmark device far more closely in both style and substance.
Touted as an O2 release in the fourth quarter of 2009, the LG BL20 New Chocolate is on a strict diet at only 12.3mm thick, equipped with a 5 megapixel autofocus camera and Widget Hotkeys to quickly access at-a-glance features like weather updates.
The New LG Chocolate BL20 echoes the original LG Chocolate’s design, resurrecting the glossy black surface with red accents as well as the gorgeous touch sensitive controls that are revealed when the phone is carressed. The touch navigation has also spread to the sides of the device, with volume and camera keys discreetly tucked away on the handset’s flanks.
Whilst not as arresting as the 21:9 display of the BL40, the BL20 Chocolate offers the same minimalist fashion statement that exemplifies the LG Black Label range, but at a more “affordable” price tag.
