LG Optimus Review

(GT540) Score: 43.2 / 100

LG Optimus is an outdated phone launched in January 2010, counting with a compact 3 inches touch-screen, a fast processing unit clocking at 600 megahertz and a 3 MP back facing camera.

LG decided to power this phone with a fast processing unit running at 600 MHz. This phone comes with a 122,88 MB internal memory, a poor quantity that might be adequate for some basic users considering it also has an SD memory card expansion slot to store songs, photos and videos.

It seems like LG forgot about optimizing the weight in this 4.07 ounces cellphone. This phone is 4.29 inches long and 2.15 inches wide, but it is only able to hold a way smaller 3" display.

The LG Optimus is only equipped with a 3 MP back-facing camera.

LG packed the LG Optimus with a interesting 3-inches screen, and a 480 x 320 resolution, giving this phone an average graphic quality. This screen uses TFT resistive technology, but it's not multi-touch.

The LG Optimus comes with a 1500 mAh mid capacity Li-Ion removable battery that can keep this phone running for some hours, although you will probably need to charge it even after moderate usage. This phone has an aproximate talk time of 5.5 hours and a stand by time of 500 hours.

This cellphone has wifi capability (but it can't be provided to other devices acting as a wireless modem or router) and the fastest 3G connection type, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a SIM card for GSM carriers.

The LG Optimus also features a few cool features like Bluetooth (2.1, EDR), GPS Navigation and FM Radio, and Accelerometer.

LG offers the LG Optimus for $ 285, which is high for this type of device.
