It was released April, 2009, compared to 2007 for the first iPhone and 2008 for the first Android phone.[1] It offers a flash for the 2.0 mega pixel camera, GPS, multi tasking, a menu or favorite contacts, and a microSD slot for music, pictures, and video.[2] Voice dialing and video share are among the features on this phone.

Design
[edit] |
The LG Xenon comes in black, blue, red, and purple. It runs on an OS similar to its predecessor the LG Vu, and has a slide out QWERTY keyboard and resistive touch screen. Its keyboard has dedicated buttons for text and email messages. When opened, the phone is viewed in a wider aspect than when closed. A lock button on the right side allows the phone to be used while it is not open. The default themes are white with blue outlining, and black with red outlining.
In popular culture
[edit]In the 2011 romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love,[4] extreme close-ups of Robbie Weaver's blue LG Xenon in horizontal mode are repeatedly used to show him sending text messages to his crush.
