LG Optimus Chic Review
(E720) Score: 47.2 / 100
LG Optimus Chic is a fair quality Android cellphone launched back in 2010, which counts with a 5 mega-pixels back camera, a quite powerful 600 MHz processor and a 3.2 inches display. But it's time to get into much more detail.
In this case, LG decided not to care about this cellphone weight at all, releasing a 4.66 oz heavyweight product. This phone is 4.43 inches long and 2.28" wide, but it's only able to hold a much smaller 3.2 inches display. The LG Optimus Chic is a bit thick for current standards, with a thickness of 0.51 inches.
LG equipped this phone with a good level 3.2" screen, and a resolution of 480 x 320 , providing this cellphone with a mid level image quality. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.
LG sells this cellphone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7227 chip, holding a powerful 600 MHz processing unit and only 418 MB of RAM memory. Graphic rendering often eats a lot of CPU processing time, so it also also has an Adreno 200 graphic processing unit running at 128 MHz to help handle those graphic tasks. This cellphone comes with a 153,6 MB internal memory, a mediocre amount that might be enough for some basic users having that this cellphone also has an external memory card slot to store songs, pictures and videos.
This cellphone has only a 5 mega-pixels back side camera. The LG Optimus Chic also captures VGA 640x480 videos. This camera also includes auto-focus.
The LG Optimus Chic offers wifi connectivity (but it can't share it with other devices around, as a mobile hotspot) and fast 3G data connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a SIM card for GSM networks.
The LG Optimus Chic counts with a good 1250 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery that provides this phone a quite short battery duration. LG reports a talk time of 5 hs and a stand by time of 150 hs for this cellphone.
This phone also features a few interesting characteristics like Bluetooth (enables communication with other bluetooth cellphones, computers and accessories), GPS (Global Positioning System) and Radio, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
This device is priced $ 150, high for comparing with similar phones.
