This device was announced but unfortunately was eventually canceled, so it never reached the market. As such, while the specifications are known, there is no way to purchase this device.

Body

The specific dimensions and weight of the LG Fantasy E740 are not available, as it was only a prototype that never saw an official release. The planned design included the use of a Mini-SIM, suggesting it was intended to be compact and user-friendly.

Display

The display technology of the LG Fantasy E740 was based on a TFT screen, measuring 4.0 inches and providing a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. This results in a pixel density of around 233 pixels per inch, which is suitable for everyday activities like browsing and video watching.
