The BL40, branded as the New Chocolate, is a smartphone from the South Korean electronics company LG. It is designed to resemble the original LG Chocolate. It was introduced on 3 August 2009[1] showcasing a distinctive design, incorporating a 4-inch display that pioneers a wide aspect ratio of 21:9, a first in the history of mobile phones. It also presents the renowned S-Class 3D user interface, which was initially introduced on the LG Arena.[2]

It has 335 MB internal storage but has MicroSD expandable storage for up to 32 GB extra. There's also Wi-Fi, an accelerometer, and an FM transmitter.[3]
