Information On The LG Optimus

Long renowned for the quality of their phones, LG have followed demand and started to develop a range of mobiles that will try to challenge in the smartphone market. The LG Optimus is the latest edition to LG’s smartphone stable, and comes with quite an impressive spec. But is it enough to take on the likes of Apple, Google and HTC?

It’s probably fair to say that LG don’t make many ugly mobile phones, and this tradition continues with the Optimus’s good looks. The quality finish of the phone also helps its appearance, and it’s size and shape mean it is easy to hold when you’re using it, and slip into your pocket when you’re not.

At 3 inches, the Optimus’s touchscreen is not the biggest on the market, but it is the right size for the phone and certainly doesn’t feel small when you are surfing the web or looking a photos and video. The high quality HVGA screen is bright and clear, and the accelerometer makes it easy to use the touchscreen capability in portrait or landscape.

As well as the standard connectivity options, including 3G and the latest Bluetooth, the Optimus is capable of wireless networking, just like many of the other smartphones. It also provides you with a fast and simple way to get connected to their favorite social networking sites, with pre-loaded features that keep you in touch with real-time updates from fans and followers on Facebook and Twitter.

LG looks to have decided on Android as their operating system of choice for their smartphones, and whilst the Optimus comes with the slightly outdated version, it still has the functionality most will need in a basic smartphone. Plus, with Android you can take full advantage of the Android Market, and the technology inside the Optimus means it’s performance and battery life will let you make the most of the apps you install.

The Optimus only has a 3 megapixel camera, which does let it down slightly, but it still performs well in most environments, especially with the autofocus making things easier. The lack of a flash and video capture at only 17 frames per second isn’t ideal, but it won’t stop most people getting what they want from the camera.

LG’s Optimus is a good looking entry into the smart phone market. While some of its features might lose it points when compared to the top phones in the market, it will do very well as a mid-market offering for those who want smartphone functions, without the HTC or Apple price tag.
