LG Optimus Vu Specs

10.0

Description

LG Optimus Vu is a Korean ONLY smartphone that follows in the best traditions set by the Samsung Galaxy Note. With a 5-inch screen with an unusual aspect ratio of 4:3, it catches the eye, but we kept on wondering whether such a huge device can really become the mainstream. Here are all the details about it: a 5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1024x768 pixels, thin 8.5mm body, screen supports a stylus, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 8MP camera, LTE connectivity, huge 2080mAh battery, Gingerbread initially, to get updated to ICS within 3 months after launch.

This device is also known as LG F100L, LG P895

This phone is so cool
Phone owned for less than a year

I heard that people have different attraction to this phone because it is too rectangular, but I really love this phone. 4:3 ratio is perfect for using the internet, and viewing the photos that you've taken.

My favorite part is the UI because you can change the icons and styles as you wish.
There are even 4 themes that you can apply for the home screen.
I really like this because Samsung didn't have anything like icon change or theme change.

The design is also very cool.
