In Depth
If you can make do with simple feature phone, you might consider the LG Xpression, which runs on the BREW Mobile software platform. It boasts a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a 3-inch 240×400 pixel resolution touchscreen display for user input. It may look ordinary, but thanks to a wide range of connectivity features, it’s actually a pretty handy mobile phone.
With a 4-row QWERTY keyboard, it’s pretty useful for those who need a dependable messaging phone that isn’t so hard to use. Its keys are large and very easy to press, so typing out long e-mails or text messages is no problem at all. And when the use of a hardware keyboard isn’t necessary, there’s always the touchscreen display and the virtual keyboard.
As a BREW-powered handset, the Xpression won’t have the nearly endless selection of apps found on iOS or Android, but it can run various types of third-party software such as games and messaging applications. This helps give it extra features that are not available through its default configuration. It may not have NFC, wireless charging, or any of the crazy new tech that comes standard in today’s high-end smartphones, but it’s still an excellent choice for those who just want a proper cellphone for near effortless communication.

What people actually want to know
How do I transfer photos from my LG Xpression to my computer?
You need a micro SD memory card installed in your phone to transfer photos via USB. Photos stored in the phone’s internal memory cannot be transferred directly and must first be moved to the memory card.
To transfer photos:
- Insert a micro SD card into your phone (slot is under the back cover, next to the camera button)
- Open Pictures on your phone, tap the menu (three lines in upper right), select “Move” or “Copy”
- Select all photos, then choose to move/paste them to the memory card
- Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable
- On your phone, go to Settings > Connection > USB Connection and select “Mass Storage”
- On your computer, open File Explorer and access the removable drive to copy your photos
Alternative methods:
- Remove the memory card and insert it directly into your computer’s card reader
- Use Bluetooth to transfer photos wirelessly (requires Bluetooth adapter on your PC)
- Text photos individually to another device if you don’t have a memory card
If your computer doesn’t recognize the phone, download the LG USB Mobile Driver from LG’s support website.
