The LG Optimus is an attractive phone with a touch screen, vibrant 256 colors and a 3 inch TFT display. The phone's exterior comes in a variety of colors including white, gray and pink, so you can feel free to personalize your phone with any color that suits your fancy. In addition to attractive styling, the phone is highly responsive and also incredible accurate with a good sized 600 MHz processor that allows you to swiftly navigate Optimus menus and programs without suffering a noticeable lag apparent on some devices.
The Android 1.6 operating system drives the Optimus' functionality with a newly released S-class interface. It offers the user an array of features, including a customized LG home screen that provides quick access to the drag-up menu, widgets, instant messaging applications, folders, and shortcuts. Of course, the standard Android home screen is available as well.
The Optimus boasts an onscreen keyboard that most find easy to use, as the keys are nicely spaced for fingers. As with other Android phones, the LG Optimus will provide a sufficient venue for browsing the Internet. However, most consumers will be concerned with the Optimus' ability to deliver on its main purpose-- as a phone. LG equipped the Optimus with an impressive battery that will allow over 400 minutes of talk time on a single charge-- a key feature to anyone constantly on the go while needing to be connected. In addition, it will stay powered for around 500 hours in standby mode.
The camera equipped on the LG Optimus is certainly not one of its strongest features, though it will fit the needs of most users as a camera phone. It has a modest three mega pixel capability, which is ample for anyone wanting to snap a photo on the go and upload to their favorite social networking site to share with friends.
Apple's iPhone will certainly not be threatened by the LG Optimus, but it was not designed to compete in such a high end market. LG is offering a superb entry-level smartphone for those just venturing into the market. Users will find it easy to use and well designed for aesthetics and functionality. The average price is around $300, though that price will fluctuate depending on the service provider, the region purchased, and the promotional opportunities/ discounts available when purchased. Regardless, consumers will not be disappointed with the options they will receive for such a relatively modest price.
