The LG Optimus Vu is the freshest mobile device to be unveiled ahead of the upcoming MWC 2012, where it is scheduled to be displayed. This is a more of a smartphone-cum-tablet, much like the Samsung Galaxy Note, and it operates on a 1.5GHz dual core processor.
Running on the 4G LTE network and paired with a Rubberdium pen, the forthcoming Optimus sports a slim form factor measuring 8.5mm in thickness. It comes equipped with a 5-inch 1024 x 768p IPS display featuring a neat 4:3 aspect ratio and is powered by a 2,080mAh battery.
Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Mobile Communications Company, explained, “The Optimus Vu was designed to maximize what customers could do with a smartphone. By offering an optimal 4:3 ratio viewing experience, 5-inch display combined with superfast LTE technology, Optimus Vu: is just one example of what we can achieve when we combine our best technology with customer needs.”
This LG mobile device will offer users internal memory of 32GB and although it would be running on Android 2.3 at the time of release, the smartphone is slated to receive an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update soon thereafter. It possesses a 1.3MP front facing camera as well as an 8MP rear facing main snapper with autofocus and LED flash.
The LG Optimus Vu is slated to hit the Korean market in March and it will be showcased at the MWC to be held in Barcelona, from February 27 to March 1.
