Pocket Lint reviews the LG BL20 Chocolate and writes;
“…it’s actually a very nice piece of kit. It’s got a top LG mobile camera complete with 5-megapixel sensor, Schneider-Kreuznach glass, an LED flash and a decent set of WB and exposure settings to play with. It’s a bit of a shame that the ISO only goes up to ISO 400, that there’s no scene modes and that the zoom is a no-no at full resolution, but there is an excellent Text Read mode which makes it great for taking pictures of both typed and hand written diagrams and copy. … ”

“It’s perhaps unfair to compare the LG Chocolate Mini with its higher-end big brother, as it’s a much cheaper phone, but as a mini version of the New Chocolate, all it shares is the sleek looks. Nearly everything that made the New Chocolate such a good phone has been stripped out of the LG Chocolate Mini. Saying that, though, texting and calls are easier here, and the camera is good for a phone at this price… ”
