Learn About The LG Optimus
The LG Optimus is one of a new generation of LG phones that will attempt to try and develop the company’s share of the ever popular smartphone market. The LG brand has always proved popular with mobile users, but can this new smartphone compete with some of the established heavy-hitters in the market?
The Optimus is another example of LG’s ability to make good looking phones. The phone’s design and quality finish mean that, not only will you be more than happy to be seen using it, it is easy and comfortable to handle when you do; and even with a decent sized touchscreen, the phone is easily carried in your pocket or purse.
The touchscreen on the Optimus is smaller than some of the other smartphones at just 3 inches, but it’s big enough so that you can comfortably use it to view web pages, emails, photos and video. The touchscreen itself provides a nice clear and bright display, with a handy auto-rotate feature provided by the built in accelerometer.
One of the LG Optimus’s strengths is its excellent connectivity features, with the usual 3G and Bluetooth you would expect, plus the ability to connect to WiFi networks, which seems to be the minimum standard for any smartphone these days. The Optimus is a friendly smartphone as well, with features that provide real-time updates from the main social networking sites like 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.
While the LG Optimus might not be up their with the iPhone 4 or Google’s Nexus One, it doesn’t aim to be. LG have set about creating a feature-packed smartphone for the mid market, and have done a pretty good job. This good-looking touchscreen phone makes up for its shortcomings by providing smartphone features that won’t hurt your pocket.
